In this episode, Jackie confesses she's not actually raised in Long Beach, just born there. In fact, Jackie was raised in nearby Lakewood, CA, an L.A. suburb known to some locals as Fakewood, also known officially at one point as California's #1 Most Boring City. Just north of Lakewood sits the slightly more spicy town of Paramount. One score and some years ago, a young Capricorn by the name of Jupiter Peraza arrived from Mexico in the town of Paramount. At the time, she was a student learning English as best she could. Captured by critically acclaimed pictures such as That's So Raven and Princess Diaries, Jupiter soon developed dreams of living in the city by the Bay with the trollies and hills. To do that, she would have to study hard in her second language, survive a high school of more than 4,000 students, fend off a vampire boyfriend, and slay the dragon of DACA college bureaucracy. Jupiter not only made her own dreams come true, but decided to give back to her communities and become a warrior and community organizer for social justice, voter rights, Trans rights, and immigration justice. Not to mention helping flip the Senate in Georgia just a couple weeks ago. NBD.
Follow Jupiter's journey, wish her a happy birthday, and thank her for canvassing in Georgia to help flip the senate on Instagram (@jup500) and Venmo (@jup-peraza)
