In this episode, tengo el gusto de compartir una plática I had with my colleague and neighbor, Dr. Dani Ahuicapahtzin Cornejo. Dani is the Chair of the Ethnic Studies Department at Diablo Valley College.

In this plática, Dani reflects on his life, his complex heritage that includes Chile, Mexico, and a Quaker grandfather. He talks about growing up in a primarily Black neighborhood in Denver, Colorado; and also being raised partly in Chile. Dani grew up at the intersection of a diverse world, surrounded by activists, musicians, and exiles. Dani also shares about the time he spent with the Movimiento Sin Terra en Brazil, which actually inspired him to become an Ethnic Studies professor.

I had a good time talking to Dani and getting to know his story, and I am sure you will enjoy listening to the plática. Asi que ponganse las pilas, y síganme los buenos!
