We decide the end of the story even when we didn’t choose Chapter 1

We decide the end of the story even when we didn’t choose Chapter 1

I can’t get over this deep convo with Albert Chavez and the commonalities we share, despite vastly different backgrounds. A boy raised around violence, addiction, and fear teaches this “educated” white girl about excellence.

Albert and I are close in age and shared values but we arrive at our conversation with very different origin stories…he grew up as a Mexican-American in LA surrounded by gangs, violence, insecurity and pain. I am a white girl raised in Silicon Valley with all of the privilege that comes with a stable family, education, and opportunity.  

We talk about trauma and transformation and navigating the circumstances that push us to “go to work” and rewrite our stories later in life.
