letter from the editor
G “HUMBLE.”
G reetings and welcome everyone to Logos Magazine. My name is Darius Johari and I am honored to serve as editor-in-chief for fall 2017. This is my third semester working with Logos Magazine and my second semester as editor-in-chief. Serving as editor-in-chief has been a humbling experience. I still have a lot to learn but my experiences from this semester has taught me the importance of communication, time management and leadership skills. It was a struggle trying to manage everything from writing, photoshoots and designing but I was still able to make it with the help of my peers. This semester we took a different approach with the magazine as we are always looking for ways to expand and try new things during production. Our goal was to go back to publishing a monthly magazine for the fall semester. We were able to produce one digital issue and one print issue. For the print issue we touched on a variety of sensitive topics like student homelessness, DACA and mass shootings. We featured a DACA student who has been able to make his way into the entertainment industry. We featured a student who talked with us about her experience as she is a survivor of the Route 91 Harvest music festival shooting. We also had the privilege of featuring a student who persevered despite experiencing homelessness.
In the future, we hope to reach out to other departments for collaborative work. Logos Magazine is about campus, culture and lifestyle and with everyone on board we could truly make Logos a student publication that everyone can appreciate. Every student and faculty member has a story to tell and our goal at Logos Magazine is to be the storytellers through words, art and photography. This is only the beginning as the saga will continue. I appreciate the hard work and dedication my staff, the photography contributors, my advisers, my art consultant Emily Hermosilllo and my design consultant Evan Solano has put into making this magazine a reality. Thank you to the administration and Citrus College for believing in the communications department. Stay humble,
Darius Johari Editor-in-Chief dariusjohari@gmail.com

between $5 and $9. One of my favorite dishes among the many I’ve tried is the Kung Pao chicken. I highly recommend it for spicy food lovers and at only $6.50, it is well worth a try. It has a sweet soy sauce base accentuating the savory and tender texture of the chicken and crisp vegetables. It has an umami essence from the peanuts and only a slight kick of heat from the dry-roasted peppers. For those who don’t have a stomach for heat, I highly recommend their wok fried chow mein noodles. It is prepared with any meat of your choice and offered as part of their lunch special or dinner item. For something filling, try their piping-hot house special fried rice made with a mix of peas and diced carrots, eggs, and a variety of meats. The house special fried rice is one of their most popular dishes. Some of the dishes come with an appetizer soup, usually egg drop soup, included with the meal. For those unfamiliar, the soup is a yellow broth made with beaten eggs that is partly solidified when boiled, giving its signature translucent appearance and silky texture. They serve a variety of Asian cuisine including Japanese curry and pad thai which can be found on the menu for those wanting something other than Chinese food. Kiwi Cafe also offers vegetarian options like Chinese bok choy seasoned with oyster sauce. The bok choy has a slightly bitter taste and its leaves soak up the oyster sauce. It’s a good option for those wanting a savory yet healthy, traditional meal. For dessert, Kiwi Cafe offers iced boba milk tea drinks and sweet almond cookies for under $3. This restaurant is willing to expand beyond what they’re competitors dish out, while still staying true to its cultural roots. Kiwi Cafe offers great customer service and the food is affordable and delicious. L

Growing up, I never really thought I’d be able to go to school since my parents didn’t go to school. No one in my family has ever gone to school, so I thought, okay I’ll just go down the same path my parents did.” -Favian Fragoso

Q&A What would you like to accomplish this semester as president? Favian Fragoso: While running for president, I never set out any personal goals of mine that I would like to achieve, I leave that up to our wonderful senators, who are elected to represent the students. My role as president is to support them and help guide which way they want to go. I have heard from a couple of senators that they want me to improve relations with the Citrus community and ASCC because they feel like there’s a big disconnect, which I completely agree with. I’ve heard from another senator that they would like to push to get security cameras on campus, because many students don’t feel safe, especially at night, especially with the female students, we see the emails all of the time. People are getting sexually harassed on campus and in parking lots. So, I really think these are wonderful goals that our student government has in plan and I hope that we actually go through with it. What do you mean by disconnect? FF: For many students that come to Citrus, it’s like a commuter school, and I completely understand that many students have other lives going on. They have work, they have responsibilities. And because of this, most students do not know what ASCC is or that there is even a student government. Which I like to compare it with U.S. government, we all know that there is some sort of government that makes up all these rules, but we don’t know who it is, what it is, or even the fact that we can vote to make a change. The last election, I want to say it was upwards of 300, maybe 400 students that voted, and that was actually a high number. And the reason was because of the bus pass. So, when you only have about 400 students voting and you have 16,000-18,000 students enrolled, these are students that may

have opinions on how to better the school but they are just not being heard. It can simply because they just don’t know that their opinions can be heard by someone who has the power to change them. What are your plans for the future? FF: After getting my Bachelor’s, I’m going to law school, and hopefully becoming an attorney. I’m looking towards doing federal law or constitutional law. Was running for student
government part of your future career plans? FF: No, in all honesty, I didn’t join student government because I was thinking of possible career paths. In fact, when I joined student government I wasn’t really thinking of actually ever transferring. But I did notice that a lot of students had different issues and felt that nothing was being done. So, I started getting involved, I started hearing what was going on in student government, and I jumped in.

to graduate from college. My father used to work on campus at UC Davis, which is one of the top schools I’m looking into. When the semester is over what would you want people to say about you and what you’ve accomplished? FF: In all honesty, I’m not here to accomplish anything, my job is just to support the student body and our student senators in whatever they want to do. I’m taking the back seat and I’m going to help them in whatever way they want. The ones who are getting the credit are the senators that are going to be pushing and discussing how to better the school, they are the ones that are going to be making all of the changes. I’m just going to be sitting in that meeting room, like the president is supposed to do, and just try to guide the conversation and make sure that procedure is being followed. L
NAME: Favian Fragoso AGE: 20 RESIDENCE: Upland, California MAJOR: Political Science
So you weren’t planning on transferring, so what changed your mind? FF: Once I was able to win my seat in student government, I realized that I had so much more potential and I started taking my future seriously. And I started looking at the possibility that you know, maybe I am made for university. Growing up, I never really thought I’d be able to go to school, since my parents didn’t go to school, no one in my family has ever gone to
school, so I thought, okay I’ll just go down the same path my parents did. It worked out well for them and it will work out well for me. The more I look at our situation currently, I think it’s best for most people to start going to school. Are you the first of your family to graduate from college? FF: My mother did finish a high-school equivalence back in Mexico, my father did not, he made it up to junior high. So I would be the first in my family

The taboo five letter word that has long been associated with black culture and hip-hop is perhaps the most controversial yet prime example as to why the genre needs understanding. To many, rap was a scapegoat. It was a music genre that was put to blame for the spread of youth violence because of its explicit content with lyrics about guns and drugs. However hip-hop has a rich history with societal, political and economic messages. For example the seminal L.A.-based ‘90s rap group N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitudes) struck up controversy and popularized “Gangsta Rap,” a subgenre of hip-hop. Their music was a product of police brutality and the hard knock life as a minority group in a poverty stricken environment. By studying the black, inner-city communities then you can understand why it is more than necessary to introduce a history of hip-hop course to Citrus College. Hip-hop is a genre of music that should be researched and brought as an educational course because it is an American innovation. It introduced record scratching, break dancers and poetic lyricism to mainstream music. It is more important than studying classical music or rock music because of its huge cultural impact on everyone from the young, urban, working-class African-American to suburban white folk to everyone in between. Dr. Todd Boyd is the Professor of Cinema and Media Studies and the “Katherine and Frank Price Endowed Chair” for the Study of Race and Popular Culture in the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. He has written four other books that touch on black culture and its growth into the American mainstream. “Over the course of the past twenty years, however, [hip-hop]

culture has gone from being a marginal New York subculture to being a phenomenon that not only has saturated mainstream America but also has had a massive impact at a global level,” according to Boyd’s 2002 book titled “The New H.N.I.C. (Head Niggas in Charge): The Death of Civil Rights and the Reign of Hip Hop.” With the rise of streaming music services like Spotify and Apple Music, hip-hop has finally come to light as the most popular music genre in the United States. Hip-hop/ rap has been on the radar with well-known innovators from every generation since the early ‘70s, but it has yet to get the respect it truly deserves. While rock music icons like Pink Floyd, U2 and David Bowie become household names and rockstars, the
“Hip hop, a social movement in and of itself, has been the most visible expression of this societal trepidation in regard to a full embrace of American society.” -Todd Boyd underappreciated hip-hop community stemmed from young, inner city African-Americans. Hip-hop music and the culture started in the early ‘70s with the spawn of DJs, record scratching, Master of Ceremonies and break dancers known as “break boys” or “break girls.” To be more precise, hip-hop was born on August 11, 1973 at a house party in the west Bronx in New York City with DJ Kool Herc. After DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa came along with their contribution to record scratching and “break beats,” a term in which the DJ would have two identical records and loop the drum instrumental which would then spark a dance frenzy amongst the crowd. This was merely the start of hip-hop as the genre then spread from the East Coast to the West Coast with other landmarks in between, including the South Side and Midwest. The possibilities are vast when it comes to studying hiphop culture. The course can be covered under humanity studies as hip-hop played a role in urban youth and the lives affected within minority groups in the big cities. Hip-hop can also be looked at as a theater art form just as Lin-Manuel Miranda’s popular Pulitzer Prize winning musical “Hamilton” did with its incorporation of singing and rapping. Universities like Cornell, Harvard, University of Southern California, University of Arizona and North Carolina University have courses in hip-hop. If these opportunities are provided on a university

level then why hasn’t it been recognized at a community college level? Citrus College has a music course on the History of Rock & Roll in which students learn about the evolution of popular music dating back from the 1940s up until the present. A lot of different genres are covered in the History of Rock & Roll course including hip-hop, but it just grazed the surface. If done correctly, a history of hip-hop course can be a success. Topics to cover can date back to African roots and “griots”, West African oral historians and praisesingers, to covering hip-hop’s inspiration from jazz, soul, gospel and reggae. Other topics that would help reinforce the class would be the effects of oppression and poverty had on the African-American community in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the rise of the East vs. West Coast feud, the significance of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace (Notorious BIG) and present day hip-hop/rap and the different sounds and styles that come out from regions all around the world. “Gangsta Rap” is a subgenre of hip-hop that was most
active between the late ‘80s until 1996, falling with the death of Tupac Shakur. It is at this point where rap was in its golden age, with its artist’s lyrics focused on the “street life” and hustling in a poverty stricken environment to make a living. Learn to look past the negative criticism and look at hip-hop with an open mind. It’s influence on society is ever-growing and we see this as mainstream music has finally adapted to the ways of hip-hop. it is time for Citrus College to get on board and provide a course study on this rich, innovative and important part of American history. “Hip hop, a social movement in and of itself, has been the most visible expression of this societal trepidation in regard to a full embrace of American society,” according to Todd Boyd’s book “The New H.N.I.C.” “Hip hop has become the most compelling contemporary articulation of this age-old American question. It is this examination of post-civil rights African Americans and their struggles regarding this dilemma of assimilation, as expressed through hip hop, that again underlies the motivation for this book.” L NOVEMBER 2017 | LOGOS | 15

Granted, geocaches can be the size of a mint tin and only contain a logbook, but they are much easier to find than a pirate’s chest of doubloons. Geocaching is an outdoor activity with hidden objects that can be found by accessing their GPS coordinates and clues online. The Geocaching app displays a map with pinpoints of caches closest to your location with their difficulty level and other necessary information to find it. And they are everywhere, by schools, hidden in brick walls, inside trees, they can be in the most common of places or the most adventurous. The benefit of Geocaching is that it is a free activity that can be added to nearly any outside event. In L.A. after a concert, but not ready to head home? Camping with family? Day at the beach? Weekend around town with nothing else to do? More than likely there is a cache near by. There are over 5,000 geocaches near Glendora. People young and old will get caught up in the excitement of finding hidden treasure, even if they were sceptical at first, because finding a secret in plain sight is satisfying. Some geocaches have emotional roots, like a Glendora cache dedicated to a late grandfather. An everyday person might think the homeowner was just eccentric and chose to decorate with a forty-niner theme, but when a geocacher lifts a gold painted ammunition box out of the ground and opens it they find a memorial for James Alma Stinson, a mailman who served in WWII, attached to a logbook and accompanied with trinkets meant to be traded. “Grandpa Stinson’s mine” is an easy level cache, but one I return to every few months to leave something in because of the owner’s charm and creativity that they put into it. A difficult level geocache could require a secret code to unlock, riddles to discern its location, or challenging terrain to cross over long distances.

Famous landmarks are typically riddled with caches. Around the Eiffel tower in Paris there are about 20 caches of different types and levels of difficulty. I once found a geocache hidden behind an ancient stone wall in Florence, Italy. Behind a loose stone was a small plastic box, nearly bursting with loose papers and a logbook. The papers were covered names of previous finders from Germany, United States, Australia, Mexico, and other countries around the world. Geocaching is a surprising way to feel more connected to others, even if you are questing solo. A tiny camo canister filled with paper and trinkets can link you to all the people that searched for the same object. They followed the clues and walked the same roads as you to leave a tiny piece of them behind. Sometimes that piece is trackable, dubbed a “bug” by cachers, this item could be anything, a toy or pin, but it is meant to be transported to new caches. Once you’ve found a trackable you can log it onto your profile and see all the other places it has been. An easy first cache to find is located at the entrance of Rubel’s Castle, on the south-east corner of Palm drive and Live Oak Avenue in Glendora. You don’t have to pay admission to find the cache, but I suggest you do enter. The castle itself is a unique place to visit because it stirs up childhood fantasies of castles and treasure in its whimsical walls and quirky art installations. Download the app, pack a picnic, wear comfortable shoes, and be prepared to wander. You’ll want to bring water, a pen, and maybe a few tokens to leave behind. Be careful not to get too frustrated with your phone navigation. Not everyone can find the lost ark or El Dorado, but geocaching is a good place to start. L

I’M TIRED
OPINION:
YEAH, I’M TIRED.
I’M TIRED OF OUR NON-EXISTENT GUN CONTROL LAWS.
I’M TIRED OF MASS SHOOTINGS, EACH ONE WORSE THAN THE LAST.
I’M TIRED OF MOURNING INNOCENT VICTIMS WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE AT THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. I’M TIRED OF “(WHATEVER CITY THAT HAS JUST EXPERIENCED A MASS SHOOTING) STRONG.”
I’M TIRED OF THE HEADLINES. I’m tired. I was in the midst of finishing an assignment for class when I heard the news about the Las Vegas shooting. I was scrolling down Twitter and I saw a flurry of breaking news articles, I was intrigued to find out more about what had happened. At the top of my feed was a two-minute video uploaded on Twitter recording the concert when popping sounds continued on with the music for around 20 seconds. The crowd was confused and didn’t know what the sounds were until another flurry of popping sounds filled the venue for another 20 seconds. Gun shots. A woman could be heard yelling “get down!” to those around her. There was a pause in between, then another flurry of gunshots, then another, and then another. I couldn’t believe that in those moments, lives were ruthlessly being taken away. And for what reason? Concerts are supposed to be a magical escape from reality, where friends and kind strangers unite to listen to their favorite music together. Mass shootings have become so common in our country and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Why? It’s great that the Las Vegas mayor and senators are doing their best to regulate their own gun control laws by banning the possession of bump stocks (which was the device Stephen Paddock

used during the shooting), but it’s sad to say, I highly doubt anything substantial will be done. Young, innocent children were murdered at Sandy Hook elementary and nothing was done. What will be enough? I’m 23 years old and have seen the headline: “The Deadliest Mass Shooting in U.S. History”, three times in my short lifetime. In 2017 alone, there have been over 11,600 deaths related to gun violence which is almost equivalent to four 9/11 attacks. As much as I hope that this will be a wake-up call to Congress, our leaders, and the rest of our country, I doubt that it will be. It’s been a week and I have seen nothing in the news about creating stricter gun laws. A press conference was held on Oct. 2, hours after the shooting, White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ response to reporters’ questions about gun control: “there will certainly be a time for that policy discussion to take place, but that’s not the place that we’re in at this moment.” How is this not the time to talk about gun control? Other than saying we are “Vegas strong” why isn’t anything being done to prevent these mass shootings? What city will we be praying for next? Which victims will we have to mourn next? When will it be enough? I’m tired. I’m truly tired. L

VEGAS WEEKEN
GONE AWRY Jennifer Ebreo and her husband kissed their 8 year-old son goodbye as they set out for their trip to the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. Jennifer and Ernesto Ebreo and their friends are regular attendees. This year they were staying at Luxor Hotel located directly across from the concert venue. She described their getaway as “family style and idyllic. [Route 91] is truly a festival for the fans.” The first day of the festival, her group of friends was at the front of the crowd to see Eric Church during his performance. Ebreo even reached out and touched him. She refuses to have her experience be tarnished by later events. By the final day of the festival, the group was tired but still looking forward to the unofficial after-party at the Foundation Room in Mandalay Bay where performers and attendees would mingle to end the weekend. During the break after Jake Owen’s set, Ebreo bought a can of tonic water to quell her unsettled stomach and reunited with her friends. They were in the back of the crowd when Jason Aldean finished playing “Any Old Barstool.” During the break between songs, she heard three distinct pops. “Right in front of the stage, you see the smoke,” Ebreo said. She recalled smelling the smoke. At first, Ebreo thought the pops were fireworks accompanying the music. Aldean began playing “When She Says Baby.” Two lines in, Aldean rushed off stage. The rat-a-tat sounded again, and was amplified by the speakers and microphones onstage. Ebreo realized then the sound was gunshots.“[The shots] literally felt like they were coming from everywhere,” she said. The crowd contracted, condensed and expanded. People screamed “gun!” After another round of shots festival goers scattered everywhere, but Ebreo froze in place. Her friends startled her back into consciousness as they ran away from an unknown gunman. Ebreo clutched her tonic water and ducked periodically. She incoherently texted her husband while racing to an exit. “I thought I was going to die,” she said. Ebreo dropped her tonic water and it immediately got crushed. 22,000 people were frantically running for their lives. Shots rang through the crowd. Ebreo’s husband was taking a nap in their room at the Luxor after enjoying the

Golden Knights preseason hockey game. He awakened to jumbled text messages from his wife while she was running to find cover. “Everyone was hypervigilant about looking out for each other so as not to get trampled,” she said. “God had me there [in a safer spot in the back of the crowd].” Ebreo experienced a moment of clarity while helping another attendee. There was a woman with dirty blonde hair in a white romper curled up on the pavement. She was rocking back and forth saying “I can’t” to herself. Ebreo lifted her, directing her to safety. Ebreo’s friend, Christine Lythgoe, was helping the group get to safety by “directing us like a military sergeant.” Helping another person gave Ebreo a sense of purpose and lucidity during the chaos. Ebreo and her friends ran to the Desert Rose Resort nearby. They banged on the door of a random suite in hopes of getting out of the chaos happening outside. A startled family cautiously allowed them inside their room. Ebreo ran straight to the sink to quench her thirst, drinking straight from the tap to assuage her roiling stomach. The family had no idea what was going on. Everyone who rushed into their room was frazzled, blurting out words like “terrorist” and “gun.” They turned on the television and checked social media. Everyone brought out their phones in search of updates. Ebreo started fielding calls and texts from family, reassuring them of her safety. The domino effect of hysteria in Vegas led to false reports of multiple gunmen and bomb threats, Ebreo said. “I had an angel there with me. We each had a guardian angel… I witnessed the most awful thing I will ever witness in my life,” Ebreo said. Ebreo’s mother died suddenly of complications from liver cirrhosis last year. She believes her mother was her guardian angel during the attack. Ebreo has a tattoo dedicated to her mother Sara Ayala on her left forearm, and plans to add one in remembrance of this event. This experience brought her and her friends even closer together. They text each other constantly and provide emotional support for one another by talking openly about what they experienced. Ebreo is availing herself of the mental health services provided at Citrus College and the University of La Verne. She is a psychology major at Citrus College and working on her bachelors in health administration at ULV. Her wise words were like those of Dumbledore, a character in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” People all over the world have lended support through social media with popular hashtags like #CountryStrong or #PrayforVegas to represent the solidarity in choosing love over hate. “This is one bad person… there are bad people in this world. But there are way more good people. We’re not going to let the bad people scare us into our homes, our holes,” Ebreo told her son. This darkness intensifies the light in the world. Despite the 58 deaths and over 500 wounded, Ebreo recounts a sense of unity throughout her experience. “In the midst of everything, there was so much love, support and humanity.” “The Citrus staff has been so amazingly comforting and understanding during this hard time. It’s OK to ask for help, and we have a lot of resources available,” Ebreo said.

Q&A How has this experience changed your perception of the world? Jennifer Ebreo: It solidified my personal views that we are one human race, regardless of race, gender, or political orientation. I want to be an advocate instead of being silent, [a proponent of] love over hate. You never know your last day; don’t hold grudges, and never forget to say I love you.
How did you talk to your son about what happened?
JE: I’ve never censored anything from my son, and I wasn’t going to start now. He overheard me talking about it, and I never hushed my voice. [Connor] calls it ‘that despicable thing that happened in Vegas’ and didn’t fully understand [its significance] until friends at school brought it up. Then, we had a talk about it and he gave me a good hug.
I see that you’ve attended a candle lit vigil with your husband. What does it feel like to visit a vigil when you were there for the attack? JE: It was surreal. [My husband, son and I] went to the Branding Iron Saloon vigil, where many of the [attendees] went to the festival so it was a very supportive environment. It was there that I noticed I wasn’t the only one who hadn’t removed my wristband. We wear it to remember those who didn’t get the opportunity to take it off.
This happened a month ago now. Are you still affected by the attack?
JE: I definitely went through a roller coaster of emotions. One day would be fine, one day would be awful. That first week, I was sleeping all the time. I had horrible panic attacks with a pain in my chest. My husband almost sent me to the ER because he thought I was having a heart attack. My mind goes to dark places when I’m alone. I started counseling to find coping mechanisms, so I don’t hold it in. I was feeling physically haunted. I would feel the presence of someone while alone. At my worst, I told myself it was the people who died [in the attack] and they were mad at me. I felt my life wasn’t worth saving, compared to those that were lost. I still have symptoms of anxiety. My skin feels tight, a tingly feeling in my legs and arms. I’m afraid of the dark, and sounds bother me. Anything that might sound like gunshots startles me.
Do you still keep in contact with other attendees?
JE: Yeah, I do. In my close group of friends, we’ve gone back into normal conversations. We respect each other’s healing process. But I can always call them for help when I’m having a bad moment, and [they’ll] understand better than my husband [who wasn’t there]. I’m still active in a couple support groups on Facebook. I have to actively go in and look at it, because it had gotten to the point where I was dwelling on it and it wasn’t helping. There’s a fine line you have to walk while you’re healing.
You mentioned you have sought out therapy. How would you say it’s helped in your recovery?
JE: I see a therapist I found at school. In the past four weeks, it’s been really nice to talk to someone who validates my thoughts. It helped me justify my feelings. I was feeling kind of stupid, I was degrading myself [about being] dramatic. I was self deprecating. My therapist helped me realize it’s OK to feel not OK. My Citrus professor has been very helpful. She’s been an advocate that it’s OK to take your time to heal. It’s alright to ask for help, and we have a lot of resources available. L 26 | LOGOS | NOVEMBER 2017

E N I L E H T WALK DACA, an Obama-era program that has helped many undocumented immigrants is phasing out. One student’s dream of making it big in the entertainment industry could be kicked to the curb.

R TAKES TA S D IL H C A S A IT G MAKIN AW TALENT, R F O N IO T A IN B M O C A ORKING W T E N Y V V A S , S T N E R A SUPPORTIVE P CARD. Y IT R U C E S L IA C O S A D SKILLS AN LUIS CORDOVA HAD THREE OF THE FOUR. When Cordova was 9, he competed in an event in Los Angeles sponsored by the International Modeling & Talent Association. He did so well that agents and managers were clamoring for him to audition for film and television. At that point, his family relocated from Tucson, Arizona, to Baldwin Park to get closer to the entertainment industry. But then he ran into an obstacle. Since he did not have a Social Security number. He was not allowed to work. His parents had told him when he was 6 that he was undocumented. “It was like I hit a wall,” Cordova said. Empathizing with his parents, he reflected, “How do you tell your 9 year-old kid that [he] can’t do anything.” Cordova is just one of the hundreds of thousands of students who are a part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Today nearly 800,000 recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals are caught in this gray zone. The DACA program was created in 2012 through executive order by former President Barack Obama. It protects children who may have been brought into the country illegally or who overstayed their visas from the fear of deportation. It allows them to work legally In the United States. Through the DACA program, many undocumented youth have been able to step out of the shadows. DACA recipients are granted work authorization, driver’s licenses and the opportunity to contribute to American society. Many recipients have gone on to be successful business owners, lawyers, doctors and teachers. The Obama-era program is now under fire. President Donald Trump has opted to not extend the program. Instead he has called upon Congress to revise the immigration policy by March 18, 2018. Attorney General Jeff Sessions told lawmakers that the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program is in their hands. Ending the program will affect not only families, but communities and businesses. It is estimated that ending DACA would result in a loss of $460.3 billion from the national gross domestic product (GDP) over the next decade. An estimated $11.6 billion could be lost in California alone, according to a data study from the Center for American Progress, a progressive public policy research and advocacy organization. Luis is just one of the 800,000 DACA students faced with uncertainty and possible deportation. Luis was born in Culiacan, Sinaloa, northern Mexico and lived there until the age of 4. In the summer of 2001, Luis’s mother, Fidelia Jacobo, and father, Gustavo Cordova, immigrated legally to the United States on a work visa along with Luis and their oldest son Gustavo. Luis’s father worked for AAA Landscape in Tucson, Arizona and his mother worked in a nursing home. The two boys enrolled in school. Luis’s first public performance was in his elementary school

talent show. He was 5 years old. With the help of two girl backup dancers, the spirited kindergartener sang and danced to the Beatles’ classic “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Fidelia Jacobo, Luis’s mother, remembers the moment. Her son danced around on the stage, holding the first girl’s hand, then he would move to the other as the crowd clapped and cheered. “When he came to performing, I never really saw him show any sign of nervousness,” Jacobo said. “Gustavo and I saw his excitement after his performance and so we decided to enroll him in voice lessons, modeling, dance lessons and acting.” The family moved again from Baldwin Park to Pomona while he enrolled in Lone Hill Middle School in San Dimas. After school, Luis took vocal and acting lessons from his mentor Shaun Royer. Royer has been working as a talent coach in the industry for over 20 years. He has worked with major talents like Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys. Royer recalled working with Luis in his early years as an entertainer. He described Luis as very polite, quick learner with a great work ethic. “I don’t remember what I initially thought about his talents but I do remember that he had tremendous support from his family,” Royer said. “There are thousands of talented kids out there that have no outlet because their family members don’t encourage it and are not willing to do what it takes hone the performer’s skills.” Finally when he was in the sixth grade, Luis got a break. He was recommended to Alvarado Rey’s agency which would work with him despite his undocumented status. He was booked for three TV commercials. In his first gig he appeared in a commercial promoting foster care. His next commercial was Nickelodeon’s “The Big Help,” which was in produced collaboration with Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign. His third commercial was for a Universal Studios promotion. Now he had his agent, but he still couldn’t work legally for pay; so he worked for the experience. His agent had told his family that when Luis finally would have the opportunity to get his papers, he would have a wellestablished resume. Luis was 15 when Obama issued his executive order to protect undocumented young people. Under DACA he was legally able to work for pay. The DACA program gave him and his brother Gustavo, who was 18 at the time, hope for the future. Luis was finally able to live a “normal” life. He could get a social security number, work, get a driver’s license and continue onto college. “The biggest thing for me was that now I was able to hit up every single agency that told me to ‘come back when you are ready,’” Luis said. He was now able to start contacting agents and managers so he could book TV shows. He felt like his career would take off from here.

During his freshmen year at San Dimas High School, Luis was booking commercials and trying to get roles in television. Meanwhile he was singing and dancing at various events. He was invited to be on Estrella TV’s a competition talent show called “Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento.” Estrella TV is an American Spanishlanguage broadcast television network based in Burbank. Luis described the show as a Latin equivalent to “America’s Got Talent.” He had been on the show when he was in the seventh grade but did not get past the audition. A talent scout called his father, looking to see if Luis interested in coming back onto the show. That season, he made it to the semifinals before he was eliminated. He continued performing during his sophomore year at shows like the LA County Fair and landed a part on a pilot TV show. His junior year, Luis chose to be home schooled so he could focus on pursuing his career. He interned with Shaun Royer Artist Development and began to learn the business side of the entertainment industry. The summer before his senior year he embarked on a three week national tour called “The Official Stand-Up Tour,” but left early to return for school. Luis wanted to go back to San Dimas High School for his senior year. He had still continued polishing his resume and performing at shows but he needed a break from the limelight. He missed hanging out, writing original music and collaborating with his friends. One of his most memorable moments was performing their original song “Losing My Mind” which they performed at the spring choir “Pop Show.” When it came down to picking out colleges, the 20-year-old business major chose to follow his brother Gustavo’s lead and enrolled at Citrus College. Gustavo, who had enrolled at Citrus as a recording technology major shoots Luis’s music videos. While Luis was into music and performing, his brother was into the behind-the-scenes film and video recording production. Since then Luis has landed co-star roles on TV shows like ABC’s “American Housewife,” HBO’s “Insecure,” and The CW’s “Jane the Virgin.” His music videos are on YouTube. He teaches voice lessons and works as an acting coach. He is currently working with his uncle on a radio segment called the “Hollywood Young Hour” on Estereo Centro 88.7FM. He plans to continue working in entertainment. Meanwhile Congress has until March 18 before DACA expires. Luis is unsure of his future as are the other 800,000 DACA recipients. What they are sure of is that they will continue to pursue their dreams. “DACA has showed me to not live in fear,” Luis said. “I don’t have much of a plan as far as worst case scenario. I am just going to keep being myself and always strive for success.” L

Kyshawna Johnson works the graveyard shift as a security guard throughout the week. She clocks in at 10 p.m. then heads home at 6 a.m. Three hours later, she drives to Citrus College in her maroon Chrysler 200 to attend her mathematics class. A few months ago, Johnson’s car was not only used as transportationit was her home. Johnson, 22, has faced adversities which have been out of her control, but they have helped shape her into the woman she is today. The doctor who delivered Johnson realized her parents were both struggling with drug addiction and weren’t able to take their baby home. Days after Johnson was born, her mother started a court-mandated rehabilitation program. In the meantime, Johnson’s grandmother took care of her during the first days of her life. When Johnson was 5, her grandmother became her legal guardian under the kinship foster care program. Johnson grew up with three brothers under her grandma’s roof. “When I turned 18, she told me that I had to leave because the financial support from the government stopped coming,” Johnson said. “That’s when the homelessness came about.” Johnson tried reaching out to other members of her family for help, but they always extended excuses instead of open arms. “My brothers, aunts, and uncles all treat me like an outsider. It wasn’t like I could just call on people and be like ‘Hey, I need a place to live.’ There was always an excuse as to why I couldn’t come,” Johnson said. Johnson started to seek out resources and use the benefits she received from the foster care program. She applied for transitional living programs, however, all of her applications were denied. Johnson spent the next two years couch-surfing. She then resorted to living out of her car. “It was terrifying. It was very uncomfortable. You don’t know who’s going to knock on your window,” Johnson said. Her car had gotten vandalized a month before she started living in it. She had left her car parked outside a friend’s house while she was getting her hair done. “When I walked out, I saw what had happened. They stole all of my shoes, my clothes, my laptop, my identity- my birth certificate, my passport, my social security card,” Johnson said. “It really instilled fear in me because I didn’t know if it was going to happen again.” Despite the break-in, Johnson continued to live out of her car for the next six months. Johnson would park her car and sleep in residential neighborhoods. In the mornings she would shower and wash clothes at Pacific Clinics, a youth drop-in center for homeless or at-risk youth. From there, she would head to school and work. One of the classes she attends is taught by Nichole Ary, a speech professor at Citrus College, who describes her as “someone who’s been through a lot of challenges, but has learned turn them into something positive that she [uses to] encourage others,” Ary said.

Kyshawna is just one of the many students who has experienced homelessness. Homelessness affects millions of college students in the United States every year. It is extremely common, however, it is an issue that isn’t being talked about. Not because it isn’t important but because many students are afraid to share their story. Johnson is not one of those students. Although she was living out of her car, her living condition didn’t stop her from singing and traveling to do motivational speeches. Johnson first started singing and giving motivational speeches at her church when she was 12 years-old. “I saw my neighbors going inside of a school bus, so I ran up to the window to ask where they were headed,” remembered Johnson. “They were going to church. So, I asked the bus driver if I could come along. From that day on, I never looked back.” Johnson travels around the country giving motivational speeches twice a month. She has a relatively large following on Facebook which is how she gets booked. “I’ve traveled to New York, Tennessee, Las Vegas… I just came back from Chicago last week,” Johnson said. In 2016, Johnson enrolled at Citrus College to study communications with an emphasis in public speaking. There she discovered Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, a program which helps community college students from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. Through EOP&S she met her counselor, Leina Saikli, who is one of the greatest influences on her life. And it seems like Johnson left a lasting impression with her as well. “She’s amazing, she’s very transparent and loves sharing her story,” Saikli said. “She’s a beacon of light for people.” After meeting to discuss Johnson’s classes for the upcoming semester, Saikli asked about her living situation. They sat in Saikli’s office making phone calls and researching transitional living programs. The two quickly developed a great studentcounselor relationship. “I can say she kept me focused and encouraged by giving me affirmations of who I was,” Johnson said. “Because of her resources and

LOGOS | NOVEMBER 2017
guidance, I got out of homelessness.” One day during Christmas break, Saikli received a call from Johnsonshe had been accepted by the Jovenes program and needed help finding an apartment. Saikli talked Johnson through the process of finding and applying for apartments over the phone. “I’m very ambitious. I don’t let obstacles get in my way. I didn’t want to settle for being homeless. I didn’t think I deserved that, so I fought until I got into a stable home,” Johnson said. A few months later, Johnson was able to pack her belongings from her car and into her new apartment. “With her transparency and honesty about her situation, about her life, and wanting to do better- she uses it as a method of empowerment to overcome her situation,” Saikli said. “It’s incredible. I’ve never seen resilience like that; you don’t see that very often.” “I honestly think she’s going to change lives. She really does make this world a better place. I’m just waiting for her to be famous one day,” Saikli said. Johnson shares her new apartment with her roommate, Carol, 73. The two have grown close by encouraging each other and exchanging stories. Carol fills the role of a friend and a mother figure to Johnson. Johnson is also writing two books. The first is an autobiography titled “The DNA Exchange”, which focuses on her personal life, transitioning into Christianity, and how her relationship with God has transformed her into the person she is today. The second book is “The Pain of a Foster Child” vividly details her experience as a foster child and other former foster children. She offers insights into their shared feelings of rejection, shame and pain. “Being a foster child shaped me into being a positive person. I grew up feeling very alone and misunderstood. I didn’t understand why things were the way they were,” Johnson said. Johnson shares her story of overcoming homelessness with others in hopes of inspiring and encouraging others who have been in her shoes to persevere against all odds. “Life is a challenge. It’s a beautiful challenge,” Johnson said. “I have nothing to complain about. I’m alive.”
