In 2019, photographs of a young Hispanic girl, dressed in a graduation cap and gown, standing in a field with her farm worker mother and father, went viral. It was Erica Alfaro who, in celebration of having completed her master's degree, decided to honor the sacrifices of her parents by taking her graduation pictures in the field where they had worked long hours to provide her with an education. This is the testimony of a young woman who spent her childhood between Mexico and the United States, subjugated by a marked border line and economic disparity. Someone who did not feel prepared to make a generational leap as big as the one that was to occur in herself and her family. This is the testimony of a girl who never believed she could achieve great goals, for she always felt she was less than a man. This girl was a teenage mother and a victim of domestic violence, who, after years of many adversities, managed to reinvent herself and become the woman she is today—someone who has achieved everything she thought was impossible.
