My name is Kelly Bonilla Guzmán, I am from Northern VA, & I am a first-generation american & student! My ethnicity is comprised of Bolivian, Salvadoran, with indigenous roots (Quechua), my first language was Spanish, & I am a child of immigrants. Long story short, I am beyond passionate in advocating for social justice, specifically around immigrant rights, disability rights, educational equity, technological literacy, & within the ENTIRETY of the Latine community. I aim to work towards dismantling the very systems & institutions that have oppressed me & my people to this day via policy & politics, but also hope to innovate in the technology sector in order to make it more accessible!! I am not an activist, advocate, organizer, etc., I am just a member of my community that wants the best for us all.
