about

Donald Trump was tenured as President of The United States on January 20, 2017. This story reflects to the very moment I, as an Undocumented Immigrant, announced my immigration status to a room full of strangers.

With the rhetoric of deporting all Undocumented Immigrants as a pull for right-wing conservatives and closeted racists for voting power, I took it as the largest insult to a minority-majority of hard-working individuals who have shed blood and tears for a better life in this nation.

As a stance of pride, I publicly announced that I was Undocumented and Unafraid of the consequences. I've been so for the majority of my life but this time, it was my duty to let the people of my surroundings understand that I am no longer hiding.

"January 20, 2017" is my roar to let others know that I am proud to be Undocumented.

the trombone is my voice and my path as an Undocumented Immigrant is to uplift the countless voices unheard like mine.
