On the Season 3 premiere of Immigration MIC, from Stamford, Connecticut (and yes, she\u2019s met Triple H), welcome Aubrey to our show! \n\nAubrey, from Ecuador is formerly \u201cDACAmented\u201d - she recently adjusted her status, but continues the fight for her community, which she has been involved in since high school. \n\nGrowing up, she focused on studying, believing that through studying she wouldn\u2019t need to worry about being undocumented (she was aware since third grade).\n\nShe became heavily involved in advocacy in high school with a negative experience with a lawyer that \u201cmade things difficult\u201d for her family, and claimed to have filed paperwork for Audrey that was non-existent. \n\nAudrey is a super talented poet and writer - we talk about two poems that caught my eye. One was about her confronting ICE through her words \u201cthe blood is on their hands, I\u2019m not exaggerating\u201d, and the second one \u201cAlien Child\u201d was about having others recognizing the humanity of immigrants. \n\nShe recently also wrote an article that was a tribute to her parent\u2019s sacrifices, interwoven with her family\u2019s personal struggles, her regret for rebelling and upsetting them - but is working to make them proud, motivated by their story.\n\nIn the near future, Aubrey hopes to learn about/ visit Ecuador for the first time, she continues to write every Wednesday on The Odessey, and the inspiring words she leave us with: \u201cdon\u2019t give up. Things won\u2019t be like this forever.\u201d\n\nThank you so much for joining me Audrey, you are resilient, inspiring, and your poetry and art is something I\u2019m looking forward to daily! \n\nAlien Child: http://bit.ly/2vMBeIf\n\nPoem Confronting ICE: http://bit.ly/2vLHobJ\n\nAudrey\u2019s Tribute to her Parents: http://bit.ly/2vM9JyQ
