Today I am speaking with Jake Prendez. Born in San Jacinto, CA but raised in Washington where the population was mostly white, he wasn’t able to fit in and got involved in the gang culture as early as middle school, b ut he turned his life around when he became involved in the Chicano movement. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in American Ethnic Studies from the University of Washington, and a Master’s in Chicana/o Studies from CSU Northridge. His passion for art led him to open the Nepantla Cultural Arts Gallery. There’s a lot more you need to know about Jake so let’s listen to his story.
