“Through my work with AMIGOS, I learned about grassroots inside out models of community development – the ability for marginalized collectives to use the assets they already have available to initiate effective change on their own terms – and as a part of this process, I discovered the infinite potential to use self-representation as a vehicle for empowerment. ”
