¿POR QUÉ BIDEN DEDICÓ SÓLO UN MINUTO A LA REFORMA MIGRATORIA?

WHY DID BIDEN SPEND JUST ONE MINUTE ON IMMIGRATION REFORM? ESPAÑOL ENGLISH

José López Zamorano

La Red Hispana

su segundo Mensaje Sobre el Estado de La Unión, la más alta tribuna de la República, el presidente Joe Biden dedicó apenas un poco más de un minuto al tema de la reforma migratoria.

Durante

Ante la nación, el presidente pidió a los dos partidos volver a convertir a la migración en un tema bipartidista.

Pero al final, Biden se dio virtualmente por perdido, pues sugirió que si el Congreso no aprueba su propuesta se conformaría con un mayor presupuesto migratorio.

El presidente, quien hizo una férrea promesa de campaña de luchar por una reforma migratoria con ruta a la ciudadanía, pareció dar por perdida la batalla antes de comenzarla.

En uno de los palcos del magno salón de sesiones de la Cámara de Representantes se encontraba la “dreamer” mexicana Gabriela Clatenco.

Como miles y miles de otros soñadores, Gabriela fue traída por sus padres muy pequeña, a los 4 años de edad. Con esfuerzos ingresó a la Universidad de California en Riverside, donde espera graduarse pronto como economista. A sus 20 años de edad, me comentó que no pudo ocultar su decepción cuando vio el mínimo tiempo que el presidente dedicó a hablar de su promesa.

“Estoy un poco decepcionada porque el tema de migración sólo tuvo una línea. Esperaba que dijera algo sobre el registro, sobre un camino a la ciudadanía. Ojalá podamos ver más acción porque siempre han sido muchas promesas, pero necesitamos ejecución ahora”, me comentó antes de abordar su vuelo de regreso a California.

Tres días después del Mensaje sobre el Estado de la Unión, los senadores Dick Durbin y Lindsay Graham, uno demócrata y el otro republicano, reintrodujeron al Congreso la Dream Act 2023. Lo han venido haciendo por casi 20 años. Aunque una versión ya fue aprobada la década pasada en la Cámara de Representantes, se estancó en el Senado.

Ahora la ecuación está invertida a causa de la política. La mayor dificultad sería lograr su aprobación en la Cámara de Representantes, donde el liderazgo del republicano Kevin McCarthy es rehén de los ultraconservadores del Freedom Caucus. Ni entre ellos se han puesto de acuerdo en su iniciativa de ley de “control fronterizo”.

Pero más allá de la posición política que se tenga sobre la reforma migratoria, sobre si es conveniente o no otorgar una ciudadanía a los Dreamers y a los trabajadores esenciales, especialmente los trabajadores del campo, dedicarle sólo un minuto a un tema de tanta trascendencia para la nación me parece un acto de miopía política.

Personalmente creo que la reforma mi-

gratoria no sólo es moralmente necesaria si no también económicamente vital para los intereses de seguridad nacional del país. Que el presidente no haya dimensionado su importancia y no haya proyectado lo que está en riesgo para los intereses de la nación, convirtió a su mensaje sobre el estado de la unión en una oportunidad perdida para colocar el debate migratorio en la dimensión existencial que tiene para el futuro de Estados Unidos.

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

During his second State of the Union Address, the highest rostrum in the Republic, President Joe Biden spent just over a minute on the issue of immigration reform.

Speaking to the nation, the president called on both parties to make migration a bipartisan issue again.

But in the end, Biden virtually gave up, as he suggested that if Congress doesn't pass his proposal, he would settle for a bigger immigration budget.

The president, who made a strong campaign promise to fight for immigration reform leading to citizenship, seemed to give up the battle before starting it.

In one of the boxes of the great session room of the House of Representatives was the Mexican "dreamer" Gabriela Clatenco.

Like thousands and thousands of other dreamers, Gabriela was brought by her parents very young, at 4 years old. She struggled to get into the University of California at Riverside, where she hopes to graduate soon as an economist. At 20 years of age, she told me that she could not hide her disappointment when she saw the minimal amount of time the president spent talking about her promise.

“I am a little disappointed because the migration issue only had one line. I was hoping it would say something about registration, about a path to citizenship. Hopefully, we can see more action because there has always been a lot of promise, but we need execution now,” she told me before boarding her flight back to California.

Three days after the State of the Union Address, Senators Dick Durbin and Lindsay Graham, one a Democrat, the other a Republican, reintroduced the Dream Act 2023 to Congress. They have been doing so for nearly 20 years. Although a version already passed the past decade in the House of Representatives, it has stalled in the Senate.

Now the equation is reversed because of politics. The biggest difficulty would be getting it passed in the House of Representatives, where the leadership of Republican Kevin McCarthy is held hostage by the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus. Not even among themselves have they agreed on their initiative for a “border control” law.

But beyond the political position that one has on immigration reform, on whether or not it is convenient to grant citizenship to Dreamers and essential workers, especially farm workers, spend just a minute on an issue of such importance to the nation seems to me an act of political myopia.

I personally believe that immigration reform is not only morally necessary but also economically vital to the country's national security interests. The fact that the president has not specified its importance and has not projected what is at risk for the interests of the nation, turned his message on the State of the Union into a missed opportunity to place the immigration debate in the existential dimension it has for the future of America.

Both shooters in the two mass killings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay, California were Chinese and neither fit the profile of a mass killer. Both were over 65.

“Is it any surprise that within our communities there are people, elders who have been made invisible, treated not even as human beings, who feel isolated and yes, experience mental health issues like any other community?” asked Helen Zia, an author and activist.

Zia was one of five speakers at a Feb. 3 EMS virtual briefing who shared perspectives about the isolation and invisibility of immigrant elders spotlighted by the tragedies, and a call to action for the rest of society.

For her latest book, “Last Boat Out of Shanghai,” Zia interviewed a few hundred Asian seniors about their lives – first as refugees, and later as exiled immigrants.

“So many have gone through war, starvation, civil war, great trauma, witnessed terrible, terrible things,” Zia said. Many had never told their stories before, even to their grown children. When asked why, they said because they didn’t think anybody wanted to hear.

Author and activist Helen Zia on the many hidden traumas carried by immigrants in the US.

The recent killings triggered memories that many immigrants have tried to forget, and the news brought panic and fear. Perfectly understandable, Zia says. Working into their ‘golden years’

“Why are people still working in their seventies?” asked Rita Medina, Deputy Director of State Policy and Advocacy at the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles (CHIRLA), referring to the Latino and Asian farm workers spotlighted in Half Moon Bay. Medina says many older farmworkers continue to work “into what should be their golden years” because they have to. “It’s a large number of folks we’re

talking about.” The 2019 American Community Survey estimated there are about 17,000 undocumented seniors in California who can’t collect social security. Estimates put the number of undocumented farmworkers at around half of the roughly 162,000 who work in the state.

CHIRLA knows domestic workers, farm workers, street vendors, and construction workers who have waited more than a decade to adjust their immigration status. Since many have worked “under the table” or had low-wage social security jobs, Medina says SSI benefits for many wouldn’t be enough to sustain them even if they got green cards.

“They continue to be undocumented. Some of them are alone here in this country, and their bodies are physically breaking down because of the work that they’re doing. Knee problems from bending in construction, back problems from working as a domestic worker,” Medina said.

California recently passed a health care law that will provide medical insurance to everybody in California regardless of their status. That is good news but it doesn’t start until 2025.

Linda Yoon, Co-founder of the Yellow Chair Collective, which provides culturally responsive Asian American therapy, says seniors are overlooked by the mental healthcare profession.

Hidden traumas

Laura Som is a Cambodian Chinese refugee who came to Los Angeles when she was 10-years-old along with thousands of other Cambodians escaping the Pol Pot regime.

“Long Beach has the largest Cambodian population in the nation. Many of these refugees experienced extreme violence and trauma during the genocide. Many had and have PTSD, including myself,” Som said.

As she grew up, Som watched the mental health of the elders in her community deteriorate “from the

aftermath of wars, extreme violence and neglect by the mainstream community. Some of the symptoms of these traumas are hatred, violence, rage, and depression. Little has been done to shield young children from it,” she said.

Degreed in biochemistry, Som founded the Maye Center in Cambodia Town in Long Beach to provide culturally appropriate therapies for mental health wellness for refugees and immigrants.

Noting her community ended gerrymandering in Long Beach, Som says Cambodian seniors don’t speak English but overcame their fear and organized for the good of everyone. Transforming trauma into activism overcomes fear, especially when community initiatives are successful, Som says.

“And so for us, we break the stigma by saying seniors are relevant.”

Laura Som of the MAYE Center for healing of survivors of trauma, systemic racism, oppression and inequity in Long Beach, says a lack of culturally competent services is a major barrier for Asian immigrants.

The stigma of mental health

Dr. Brett Sevilla is a clinical psychiatrist and medical director of the Asian Pacific Counseling and Treatment Centers (APCTC) which serves predominantly monolingual Asian immigrant families in Southern

California.

Sevilla said families who have members with mental illness often consider it shameful and will first try to contain the problem and keep the person at home.

“If they eventually do see a psychiatrist, the person is often severely impaired, angry about being accused of being crazy, and the family is exhausted. Medications may be rejected or not taken consistently, as Western medication is believed to be too strong or even a cause of mental illness.”

Sevilla’s agency overcame these barriers by locating their offices in Asian enclaves, placing staff in local schools, providing culturally affirming services in the client’s native language, and linking families to community resources for practical support.

A decade ago, Linda Yoon, co-founder of the Yellow Chair Collective providing culturally appropriate therapy to Asian Americans in Los Angeles, fell into working with seniors at a Korean housing complex.

“One of the tasks that I was given was doing assessments, wellness checks, for every single resident.” Yoon said.

She said a lot of the residents were older women who lived alone and they would talk to her about their traumas, all the challenges they were going through, and things they just never shared with their children.

“And a lot of them end up kind of crying, really sharing something and then also feeling embarrassed because I was such a young worker that they were sharing something so intimate. There was just so much hidden trauma, isolation and loneliness that I was able to witness,” Yoon said.

She often complains with colleagues that children and families get the lion’s share of resources and they could use more—it’s part of the stigma of being invisible seniors.

The recent mass shootings in California put a tragic spotlight on the isolation and invisibility of many immigrant elders in the state.

IN FLORIDA SCHOOLS, A ‘BLATANT ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR’

Florida is considering an AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) curriculum in the state's K-12 public schools just as it recently rejected an AP African American course. AAPI advocates see an effort to divide communities of color.

ENGLISH

Sunita Sohrabji Ethnic Media Services Controversy

swirls around the K-12 school curriculum in Florida where, under pressure from Gov. Ron DeSantis, the College Board released a new, stripped-down version of an AP African American studies course. The move comes as state lawmakers consider implementing an Asian American studies program statewide.

Civil rights advocates describe the move as a “blatant attempt to divide communities of color” in the state.

They are “weaponizing the use of race,” said John C. Yang, President and Executive Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC). “This is whitewashing history. It is not a proper understanding of history.”

Bowing to DeSantis’ objections, the College Board Feb. 1 released a new, stripped-down version, taking out references to the Black Lives Matter movement, Black writers who also happened to be gay, the Black feminist movement, the quest for reparations, and Black queer history, among other subject matters.

“What’s one of the lessons about? Queer theory. Now who would say that an important part of Black history is queer theory? That is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids,” said DeSantis at a speech he gave in Florida last month.

At around the same time, members of the Florida state House of Representatives introduced a bill Jan. 19 — HB 287 — that would mandate the teaching of Asian American studies at all of the state’s public schools. A similar bill — SB 294 — was introduced in the Florida state Senate. Both bills have broad bi-partisan support, and if passed, would go into effect on July 1 of this year.

“I just want us to recognize Asian American culture and teach the young people about that culture,” said Democratic State Sen. Linda Stewart in a press statement. “If they learn about it, then they are less likely to go on the street and beat ‘em up because that’s what they are doing. They are shooting them and beating them up,” she said, referring to the spike in anti-Asian American hate crimes and incidents.

‘Stop WOKE Law’

But Yang says it’s critical that the histories of all communities are taught for a fuller picture of the American experience. “We want a full telling of history,” he said. “All communities of color must work together to ensure that all of our histories, including their complexities, are taught. All of our histories are relevant.”

DeSantis is widely expected to make a run for the White House in 2024. Like many Yang suspects this latest clash in the nation’s culture wars is part of efforts to shore up his base ahead of a presidential bid.

The long-time Asian American advocate noted that similar battles were being fought in other states over the teaching of Black history. For example, in December 2021, the Texas State Legislature passed a “Critical Race Theory” bill which bans public school teachers from discussing race in their classrooms. Florida has its “Stop WOKE” law with a similar mandate.

Maulik Pancholy

Asian American actor and community advocate

Maulik Pancholy agrees with Yang.

Best known for his work on the television series “30 Rock,” “Weeds,” and his voiceovers on the

cartoons “Sanjay and Craig,” and “Phineas and Ferb,” Pancholy also served in President Barack Obama’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, which is part of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

“The idea that we’re going to selectively choose the things that we think are appropriate subjective to a certain politician’s ideologies does not sit well with me,” he told Ethnic Media Services. “Education is a way to eradicate hate. When we know each other’s stories, when we see each other in people’s histories, when we see each other’s art, it’s a way of bridging gaps.”

“And so, to say we’re going to remove a culture, whether it’s a racial culture, an identity culture, an orientation culture – that we’re going to remove these from schools, it’s going to lead to divisiveness and hatred. And in a way, I think that’s exactly what they want,” said Pancholy, who founded Act to Change to combat school bullying.

“They want to keep our education limited to one story. And it’s not the full story. It’s a story that excludes people and marginalizes people and demonizes people. And that’s a problem.”

Book Bans

The actor faced the issue first-hand when his young adult novel, “The Best At It,” was banned from Florida and Texas classrooms for its portrayal of an Indian boy coming to terms with his homosexuality. Pancholy’s new book, “Nikhil Out Loud” also has a gay protagonist.

In a Jan. 31 op-ed for The New York Times, Janai Nelson, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund wrote that DeSantis was trying to erase Black history.

“Florida is at the forefront of a nationwide campaign to silence Black voices and erase the full and accurate history and contemporary experiences of Black people,” she stated, noting that several civil rights organizations have filed lawsuits challenging the “Stop Woke” law.

“Florida’s rejection of the AP course and Mr. DeSantis’s demand to excise specific subject areas from the curriculum,” Nelson continued, “stand in stark opposition to the state-issued mandate that all students be taught the history of African Americans, including the history of African peoples before the political conflicts that led to the development of slavery, the passage to America, the enslavement experience, abolition and the contributions of African Americans to society.”

EN ESCUELAS DE FLORIDA, UN “DESCARADO INTENTO DE DIVIDIR A LAS COMUNIDADES DE COLOR”

Florida está considerando un currículum AAPI (Asiático Americano e Isleño del Pacífico, por sus siglas en inglés) en las escuelas públicas k-12 del estado después de haber rechazado recientemente un curso Áfrico Americano AP. Defensores AAPI ven un intento de dividir a las comunidades de color.

jar unidas para asegurarse de que todas nuestras historias, incluidas las complejas, sean enseñadas. Todas nuestras historias son relevantes”.

Se espera ampliamente que DeSantis vaya por la Casa Blanca en 2024. Como muchos, Yang sospecha que este último choque en la guerra cultural de la nación sea parte de sus intentos por destacar camino a la carrera presidencial.

El defensor desde hace largo tiempo de los asiático-americanos destacó que batallas similares se están peleando en otros estados por la enseñanza de la historia negra. Por ejemplo, en Diciembre del 2021, la Legislatura del estado de Texas aprobó la propuesta de ley de la “Teoría de la Raza Crítica” que prohíbe a los maestros discusión en el aula sobre la raza. Florida tiene su ley “Stop Woke” con un mandato similar.

Lacontroversia ronda el currículum de las escuelas K-12 en Florida donde, bajo la presión del Gob. Ron DeSantis, el Consejo del Colegio lanzó una nueva y simplificada versión del curso de estudios Áfrico Americanos AP. El movimiento surge cuando los legisladores estatales consideran implementar un programa de estudios asiáticoestadounidenses en todo el estado.

Defensores de los derechos civiles describen el movimiento como un “Descarado intento de dividir a las comunidades de color” en el estado.

Están “utilizando a la raza como arma” dijo John C. Yang, presidente y director ejecutivo del Asian Americans Advancing Justic (AAJC). “Este es un blanqueamiento de la historia. No es un entendimiento adecuado de la historia.”

Inclinándose a las objeciones de DeSantis, el Consejo Escolar publicó el 1° de Febrero una nueva y simplificada versión, dejando de lado las referencias al movimiento Black Lives Matter, los escritores negros también eran gay, el movimiento feminista negro, las tareas de reparación, la historia queer negra, entre otros asuntos.

“¿De qué trata una de las lecciones? Teoría Queer. Ahora, ¿quién diría que una parte importante de la historia negra es la Teoría Queer? Sólo es alguien tratando de imponer una agenda sobre nuestros niños”, dijo DeSantis en un discurso que dio en Florida el mes pasado.

Por el mismo tiempo, miembros de la Casa de Representativos del Estado de Florida introdujeron un proyecto de ley el 19 de enero –HB 287- que haría mandatoria la enseñanza de estudios Asiáticoamericanos en todas las escuelas públicas del estado. Ambos proyectos de ley tienen un amplio apoyo bipartidista, y de aprobarse, entrarían en efecto el 1° de Julio de este año.

“Sólo quiero que reconozcamos la cultura Asiáticoamericana y le enseñemos a la gente joven sobre esa cultura”, dijo la senadora demócrata estatal Linda Stewart en una declaración de prensa. “Si aprenden sobre ello, es menos probable que vayan a las calles y los golpeen, que es lo que se está haciendo. Les están disparando y les están golpeando”, dijo ella, refiriéndose al incremento en crímenes e incidentes de odio anti asiático-americano.

“Dentengan la ley WOKE”

Pero Yang dice que es crítico que las historias de las comunidades sean enseñadas para tener un panorama más amplio de la experiencia americana. “Queremos una versión completa de la historia”, dijo. “Todas las comunidades de color deben traba-

Mejor conocido por su trabajo en las series de televisión “30 Rock”, “Weeds”, y sus doblajes en las caricaturas “Sanjay and Craig” y “Phineas and Ferb”, Pancholy también trabajó en la Comisión de Advisoría del Presidente Barack Obama sobre Asiático Americanos e Isleños del Pacífico, como parte de la iniciativa de la Casa Blanca sobre Asiático Americanos e Isleños del Pacífico.

“La idea de que escogeremos selectivamente las cosas que creepemos subjetivamente alineadas a ciertas ideologías políticas, no me sienta bien”, dijo a Ethnic Media Services. “La educación es una forma de erradicar el odio. Cuando conocemos las historias de los otros, cuando nos vemos en las historias de los demás, en su arte, es una forma de cerrar brechas”.

“Entonces, decir que vamos a eliminar una cultura, sea cultura racial, cultura de identidad, cultura de orientación – que las eliminaremos de las escuelas, llevará al divisionismo y al odio. Y de una forma, creo que es exactamente lo que quieren”, dijo Pancholy, quien fundó el Act To Change para combatir el bullying escolar.

“Quieren mantener nuestra educación limitada a una historia. Y no es una historia completa. Es una historia que escluye, marginaliza y demoniza a personas. Y eso es un problema”.

Book Bans

El actor sufrió el problema de primera mano cuando su novela de joven adulto, “The Best At It” fue prohibida en las aulas de Florida y Texas por su relato de un niño Indio que acepta su homosexualidad. El nuevo libro de Pancholy “Nikhil Out Loud” también cuenta con un protagonista gay.

En un artículo de opinión del pasado 31 de Enero para el New York Times, Janai Nelson, presidente y director del Fondeo del Consejo para la Defensa Legal del NAACP escribió que DeSantis estaba tratanto de borrar la historia negra.

“Florida encabeza una campaña nacional para silenciar a las voces negras y eliminar la historia precisa y completa de las experiencias contemporáneas de la gente negra”, afirmó, destacando que muchas organizaciones de derechos civiles han firmado demandas para desafiar la ley “Stop Woke”.

“El rechazo de Florida al curso AP y la demanda del Sr. DeSantis de extirpar temas específicos del currículum”, continuó Nelson, “se erigen en oposición al mantado estatal de que todos los estudiantes deberán ser enseñados sobre la historia Áfrico Americana, incluyendo la historia de personas Africanas previo a los conflictos que desembocaron en la esclavitud, el traslado a América, la experiencia de la esclavitud, abolición y contribución de los Afroamericanos a la sociedad”.

WHY CALIFORNIA STILL DOESN’T MANDATE DYSLEXIA SCREENING

California is one of only 10 states in the country that does not require schools to screen children for dyslexia. Experts agree early diagnosis is key to helping dyslexic students learn to read, yet the statewide teachers union and others have blocked those efforts.

Joe Hong CalMatters

California sends mixed messages when it comes to serving dyslexic students.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is the most famous dyslexic political official in the country, even authoring a children’s book to raise awareness about the learning disability. And yet, California is one of 10 states that doesn’t require dyslexia screening for all children.

Education experts agree that early screening and intervention is critical for making sure students can read at grade level. But so far, state officials have done almost everything to combat dyslexia except mandate assessments for all students.

“It needs to happen,” said Lillian Duran, an education professor at the University of Oregon who has helped develop screening tools for dyslexia. “It seems so basic to me.”

Since 2015, legislators have funded dyslexia research, teacher training and the hiring of literacy coaches across California. But lawmakers failed to mandate universal dyslexia screening, running smack into opposition from the California Teachers Association.

The union argued that since teachers would do the screening, a universal mandate would take time away from the classroom. It also said universal screening may overly identify English learners, mistakenly placing them in special education.

“We know how to screen students. We know how to get early intervention. This to me is a solvable issue.”

-RACHEL LEVY, BAY AREA PARENT

The California Teachers Association did not respond to requests for comment for this story. In a letter of opposition to a bill in 2021, the union wrote that the bill “is unnecessary, leads to over identifying dyslexia in young students, mandates more testing, and jeopardizes the limited instructional time for students.”

In response, dyslexia experts double down on well-established research. Early detection actually prevents English learners — and really, all students — from ending up in special education when they don’t belong there.

While California lawmakers didn’t vote to buck the teachers union, they haven’t been afraid to spend taxpayer money on dyslexia screening. In the past two years, the state budget allocated $30 million to UC San Francisco’s Dyslexia Center, largely for the development of a new screening tool. Newsom began championing the center and served as its honorary chair in 2016 when he was still lieutenant governor.

“There’s an inadequate involvement of the health system in the way we support chil-

dren with learning disabilities,” said Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini, co-director of UCSF’s Dyslexia Center. “This is one of the first attempts at bridging science and education in a way that’s open sourced and open

to all fields.”

Parents and advocates say funding dyslexia research and developing a new screener can all be good things, but without man-

dated universal screening more students will fall through the cracks and need more help with reading as they get older.

Omar Rodriguez, a spokesperson for the governor did not respond to questions about whether Newsom would support a mandate for universal screening. Instead, he listed more than $300 million in state investments made in the past two years to fund more reading coaches, new teacher credentialing requirements and teacher training.

The screening struggle

Rachel Levy, a Bay Area parent, fought for three years to get her son Dominic screened for dyslexia. He finally got the screening in third grade, which experts say could be too late to prevent long-term struggles with reading.

“We know how to screen students. We know how to get early intervention,” Levy said. “This to me is a solvable issue.”

Levy’s son Dominic, 16, still remembers what it felt like trying to read in first grade.

“It was like I was trying to memorize the shape of the word,” he said. “Even if I could read all the words, I just wouldn’t understand them.”

Dyslexia is a neurological condition that can make it hard for students to read and process information. But teachers can mitigate and even prevent the illiteracy stemming from dyslexia if they catch the signs early.

Levy, who also has dyslexia, said there’s much more research today on dyslexia than there was 30 years ago when she was first diagnosed. She said she was disappointed to find that California’s policies don’t align with the research around early screening.

“Unfortunately, most kids who are dyslexic end up in the special education system,” Levy said. “It’s because of a lack of screening.”

Soon after his screening in third grade, Dominic started receiving extra help for his dyslexia. He still works with an educational therapist on his reading, and he’s just about caught up to grade level in math. The biggest misconception about dyslexia, Dominic said, is that it makes you less intelligent or capable.

“Dyslexics are just as smart as other people,” he said. “They just learn in different ways.”

The first step to helping them learn is screening them in kindergarten or first grade.

“The goal is to find risk factors early,” said Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan, a speech-language pathologist and a professor at the University of Houston. “When you find them, the data you collect can really inform in-

struction.”

Cárdenas-Hagan’s home state of Texas passed a law in 1995 requiring universal screening. But she said it took several more years for teachers to be trained to use the tool. Her word of caution to California: Make sure teachers are not only comfortable with the tool but know how to use the results of the assessment to shape the way they teach individual students.

A homegrown screener

UC San Francisco’s screener, called Multitudes, will be available in English, Spanish and Mandarin. It’ll be free for all school districts.

Multitudes won’t be released to all districts at once. UCSF scientists launched a pilot at a dozen school districts last year, and they plan to expand to more districts this fall.

But experts and advocates say there’s no need to wait for it to mandate universal screenings. Educators can use a variety of already available screening tools in California, like they do in 40 other states. Texas and other states that have high percentages of English learners have Spanish screeners for dyslexia.

For English learners, the need for screening is especially urgent. Maria Ortiz is a Los Angeles parent of a dyslexic teenager who was also an English learner. She said she had to sue the Los Angeles Unified School District twice: once in 2016 to get extra help for her dyslexic daughter when she was in fourth grade and again in 2018 when those services were taken away. Ortiz said the district stopped giving her daughter additional help because her reading started improving.

“In the beginning they told me that my daughter was exaggerating,” Ortiz said.

“They said everything would be normal later.”

Experts say dyslexia presents a double threat to English learners: It stalls them from reading in their native language and impedes their ability to learn English.

California currently serves about 1.1 million English learners, just under a fifth of all public school students. For English learners, dyslexia can be confused with a lack of English proficiency. Opponents of universal screening, including the teachers association, argue that English learners will be misidentified as dyslexic simply because they can’t understand the language.

“Even the specialists were afraid that the problem might be because of the language barrier,” Ortiz said about her daughter’s case.

But experts say dyslexia presents a double threat to English learners: It stalls them from reading in their native language and impedes their ability to learn English. And while there are some Spanish-language screeners, experts from Texas and California say there’s room for improvement. Current Spanish screeners penalize students who mix Spanish and English, they say.

Duran, who helped develop the Spanish version of Multitudes, said the new screener will be a better fit for how young bilingual students actually talk.

“Spanglish becomes its own communication that’s just as legitimate as Spanish on its own or English on its own,” Duran said.

“It’s about the totality of languages a child might bring.”

Providing Multitudes free of cost is important to schools with large numbers of low-income students. Dyslexia screeners cost about $10 per student, so $30 million might actually be cost-effective considering California currently serves 1.3 million students in kindergarten through second grade. The tool could pay for itself in a few years. Although there are plenty of screeners already available, they can stretch the budgets of high-poverty schools and districts.

“The least funded schools can’t access them because of the cost,” Duran said.

In addition to the governor, another powerful state lawmaker, Glendale Democratic state Sen. Anthony Portantino, is dyslexic. While chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, he has repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, authored legislation to require public schools to screen all students between kindergarten and second grade.

The bill received unanimous support in the Senate Education and Appropriations committees, but the bill died in the Assembly Education Committee. Portantino authored the same bill in 2020, but it never made it out of the state Senate.

“We should be leading the nation and not lagging behind,” Portantino said.

Portantino blamed the failure of his most recent bill on former Democratic Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell, who chaired the Assembly Education Committee, for refusing to hear the bill.

“It’s no secret, Patrick O’Donnell was against teacher training,” Portantino said. “He thought our school districts and our educators didn’t have the capacity.”

O’Donnell did not respond to requests for comment. Since O’Donnell didn’t schedule a hearing on the bill, there is no record of him commenting about it at the time.

Portantino plans to author a nearly identical bill this year. He said he’s more hopeful because the Assembly Education Committee is now under the leadership of Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, a Democrat from Torrance. Muratsuchi would not comment on the potential fate of a dyslexia screening bill this year.

Levy now works as a professional advocate for parents of students with disabilities. She said without mandatory dyslexia screening, only parents who can afford to hire someone like her will be able to get the services they need for their children.

“A lot of high school kids are reading below third-grade level,” she said. “To me, that’s just heartbreaking.”

¿POR QUÉ CALIFORNIA TODAVÍA NO EXIGE LA EVALUACIÓN PARA DETECTAR LA DISLEXIA?

Los expertos están de acuerdo en que el diagnóstico temprano es clave para ayudar a los estudiantes disléxicos a aprender a leer, pero el sindicato de maestros de todo el estado y otros han bloqueado esos esfuerzos.

Joe Hong CalMatters California

envía mensajes contradictorios cuando se trata de atender a los estudiantes disléxicos.

El gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, es el funcionario político disléxico más famoso del país, e incluso es autor de un libro para niños para crear conciencia sobre la discapacidad de aprendizaje. Y, sin embargo, California es uno de los 10 estados que no requiere pruebas de detección de dislexia para todos los niños.

Los expertos en educación están de acuerdo en que la evaluación y la intervención temprana son fundamentales para asegurarse de que los estudiantes puedan leer al nivel de su grado. Pero hasta ahora, los funcionarios estatales han hecho casi todo para combatir la dislexia, excepto las evaluaciones obligatorias para todos los estudiantes.

“Tiene que suceder”, dijo Lillian Duran, profesora de educación en la Universidad de Oregón que ha ayudado a desarrollar herramientas de detección para la dislexia. “Me parece tan básico”.

Desde 2015, los legisladores han financiado la investigación de la dislexia, la capacitación de maestros y la contratación de capacitadores de alfabetización en todo California. Pero los legisladores no ordenaron la detección universal de la dislexia, chocando con la oposición de la Asociación de Maestros de California.

El sindicato argumentó que dado que los maestros harían la evaluación, un mandato universal quitaría tiempo del aula. También dijo que la evaluación universal puede identificar demasiado a los estudiantes de inglés, colocándolos erróneamente en educación especial.

“Sabemos cómo evaluar a los estudiantes. Sabemos cómo conseguir una intervención temprana. Esto para mí es un problema solucionable”.

-RACHEL LEVY, MADRE RESIDENTE EN EL ÁREA DE LA BAHÍA

La Asociación de Maestros de California no respondió a las solicitudes de comentarios para esta historia. En una carta de oposición a un proyecto de ley en 2021, el sindicato escribió que el proyecto de ley “es innecesario, conduce a una sobreidentificación de la dislexia en estudiantes jóvenes, exige más pruebas y pone en peligro el tiempo de instrucción limitado para los estudiantes”.

En respuesta, los expertos en dislexia duplican la investigación bien establecida. La detección temprana en realidad evita que los estudiantes de inglés, y en realidad, todos los estudiantes, terminen en educación especial cuando no pertenecen allí.

Si bien los legisladores de California no votaron para oponerse al sindicato de maestros, no han tenido miedo de gastar el dinero de los

contribuyentes en la detección de la dislexia. En los últimos dos años, el presupuesto estatal asignó $30 millones al Centro de Dislexia de UC San Francisco, en gran parte para el desarrollo de una nueva herramienta de detección. Newsom comenzó a defender el centro y se desempeñó como presidente honorario en 2016 cuando aún era vicegobernador.

“Hay una participación inadecuada del sistema de salud en la forma en que apoyamos a los niños con discapacidades de aprendizaje”, dijo Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini, codirectora del Centro de Dislexia de UCSF. “Este es uno de los primeros intentos de unir la ciencia y la educación de una manera que sea de código abierto y abierta a todos los campos”. Los padres y los defensores dicen que financiar la investigación de la dislexia y desarrollar un nuevo evaluador pueden ser cosas buenas, pero sin un examen universal obligatorio, más estudiantes caerán en el olvido y necesitarán más ayuda con la lectura a medida que crezcan.

Omar Rodríguez, un portavoz del gobernador, no respondió a las preguntas sobre si Newsom apoyaría un mandato para la detección universal. En cambio, enumeró más de $300 millones en inversiones estatales realizadas en los últimos dos años para financiar más entrenadores de lectura, nuevos requisitos de acreditación de maestros y capacitación de maestros.

La lucha de la proyección

Rachel Levy, una madre del Área de la Bahía, luchó durante tres años para que su hijo Dominic fuera examinado por dislexia. Finalmente obtuvo la evaluación en tercer grado, lo que, según los expertos, podría ser demasiado tarde para evitar problemas de lectura a largo plazo.

“Sabemos cómo evaluar a los estudiantes. Sabemos cómo obtener una intervención temprana”, dijo Levy. “Esto para mí es un problema solucionable”.

El hijo de Levy, Dominic, de 16 años, todavía recuerda lo que se sentía al tratar de leer en primer grado.

“Era como si estuviera tratando de memorizar la forma de la palabra”, dijo. “Incluso si pudiera leer todas las palabras, simplemente no las entendería”.

La dislexia es una afección neurológica que puede dificultar que los estudiantes lean y procesen la información. Pero los maestros pueden mitigar e incluso prevenir el analfabetismo derivado de la dislexia si detectan los síntomas a tiempo.

Levy, que también tiene dislexia, dijo que hoy en día hay mucha más investigación sobre la dislexia que hace 30 años, cuando le diagnosticaron por primera vez. Dijo que estaba decepcionada al descubrir que las políticas de California no se alinean con la investigación sobre la detección temprana.

“Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de los

niños disléxicos terminan en el sistema de educación especial”, dijo Levy. “Es por la falta de evaluación”.

Poco después de su evaluación en tercer grado, Dominic comenzó a recibir ayuda adicional para su dislexia. Todavía trabaja con un terapeuta educativo en su lectura, y está casi al día con su nivel de grado en matemáticas. El concepto erróneo más grande sobre la dislexia, dijo Dominic, es que te hace menos inteligente o capaz.

“Los disléxicos son tan inteligentes como otras personas”, dijo. “Simplemente aprenden de diferentes maneras”.

El primer paso para ayudarlos a aprender es evaluarlos en el jardín de infantes o en el primer grado.

“El objetivo es encontrar los factores de riesgo temprano”, dijo Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan, patóloga del habla y lenguaje y profesora de la Universidad de Houston. “Cuando los encuentra, los datos que recopila realmente pueden informar la instrucción”.

Texas, el estado natal de Cárdenas-Hagan, aprobó una ley en 1995 que exige la detección universal. Pero dijo que tomó varios años más para que los maestros estuvieran capacitados para usar la herramienta. Su palabra de advertencia a California: asegúrese de que los maestros no solo se sientan cómodos con la herramienta, sino que también sepan cómo usar los resultados de la evaluación para dar forma a la forma en que enseñan a los estudiantes individuales.

Un evaluador hecho en casa

El filtro de UC San Francisco, llamado ‘Multitudes’, estará disponible en inglés, español y mandarín. Será gratis para todos los distritos escolares.

‘Multitudes’ no se liberará en todos los distritos a la vez. Los científicos de la UCSF lanzaron un programa piloto en una docena de distritos escolares el año pasado y planean expandirse a más distritos este otoño.

Pero los expertos y los defensores dicen que no hay necesidad de esperar a que ordene las pruebas de detección universales. Los educadores pueden usar una variedad de herramientas de detección ya disponibles en California, como lo hacen en otros 40 estados. Texas y otros estados que tienen altos porcentajes de estudiantes de inglés tienen evaluaciones de dislexia en español.

Para los estudiantes de inglés, la necesidad de una evaluación es especialmente urgente. María Ortiz es una madre de Los Ángeles de un adolescente disléxico que también estaba aprendiendo inglés, dijo que tuvo que demandar al Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Ángeles dos veces: una vez en 2016 para obtener ayuda adicional para su hija disléxica cuando estaba en cuarto grado y otra vez en 2018 cuando le quitaron esos servicios. Ortiz dijo que el distrito dejó de brindarle ayuda adicional a su hija porque su lectura comenzó a mejorar.

“Al principio me dijeron que mi hija estaba exagerando”, dijo Ortiz.

“Dijeron que todo sería normal más tarde”. Los expertos dicen que la dislexia presenta una doble amenaza para los estudiantes que aprenden inglés: les impide leer en su lengua materna e impide su capacidad para aprender inglés.

California actualmente atiende a alrededor de 1,1 millones de estudiantes de inglés, poco menos de una quinta parte de todos los estudiantes de escuelas públicas. Para los estudiantes de inglés, la dislexia se puede confundir con la falta de dominio del inglés. Quienes se oponen a la evaluación universal, incluida la asociación de maestros, argumentan que los estudiantes de inglés serán identificados erróneamente como disléxicos simplemente porque no pueden entender el idioma.

“Incluso los especialistas tenían miedo de que el problema pudiera ser por la barrera del idi-

oma”, dijo Ortiz sobre el caso de su hija. Pero los expertos dicen que la dislexia presenta una doble amenaza para los estudiantes de inglés: les impide leer en su lengua materna e impide su capacidad para aprender inglés. Y aunque hay algunos evaluadores en español, los expertos de Texas y California dicen que hay espacio para mejorar. Los evaluadores de español actuales penalizan a los estudiantes que mezclan español e inglés, dicen.

Durán, quien ayudó a desarrollar la versión en español de ‘Multitudes’, dijo que el nuevo filtro

Aviso público: Plan anual de MTW para el año fiscal 2024

El 26 de febrero de 2008, el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD) de los Estados Unidos firmó los acuerdos Moving to Work (MTW) por 10 años con la Autoridad de Vivienda del Condado de Santa Clara y la Autoridad de Vivienda de la Ciudad de San José. El 14 de abril de 2016 se firmó una extensión de la demostración que termina en 2028. Ambas agencias operan juntas como la Autoridad de Vivienda del Condado de Santa Clara (SCCHA). La demostración de MTW proporciona a SCCHA cierta flexibilidad para desarrollar políticas que están fuera de las limitaciones de ciertas leyes de vales del Artículo 8 y de vivienda pública para aumentar su capacidad para atender las necesidades de vivienda de los individuos y comunidades de bajos ingresos en el Condado de Santa Clara.

Todos los años la SCCHA crea un Plan MTW Anual para el siguiente año fiscal. El borrador del Plan MTW anual para 2024, efectivo el 1 de julio de 2023 hasta el 30 de junio de 2024, permitirá a SCCHA realizar programas y actividades, sujetos a la aprobación del HUD, que difieren de los programas de vales del Artículo 8 y de vivienda pública pero abordan las necesidades de vivienda asequible en formas consistentes con los objetivos y requisitos de la demostración de MTW.

El borrador del Plan MTW anual para 2024 estará disponible para revisión desde el 1º de marzo hasta el 30 de marzo de 2023 en www.scchousingauthority.org/mtw

La SCCHA celebrará una audiencia pública sobre el Plan MTW propuesto a través de Zoom el jueves, 16 de marzo de 2023, desde 11:00 a.m. hasta 12:00 p.m. Debe inscribirse para asistir a esta audiencia pública a través de Zoom. Para la información de registro, por favor visite: www.scchousingauthority.org/mtw

se adaptará mejor a la forma en que hablan los jóvenes estudiantes bilingües.

“El spanglish se convierte en una comunicación propia que es tan legítima como el español por sí solo o el inglés por sí solo”, dijo Duran. “Se trata de la totalidad de idiomas que un niño puede traer”.

Proporcionar ‘Multitudes’ sin costo es importante para las escuelas con un gran número de estudiantes de bajos ingresos. Los exámenes de dislexia cuestan alrededor de $10 por estudiante, por lo que $30 millones en realidad podrían ser rentables considerando que California actualmente atiende a 1.3 millones de estudiantes desde jardín de infantes hasta segundo grado. La herramienta podría amortizarse en unos pocos años. Aunque ya hay muchos filtros disponibles, pueden estirar los presupuestos de las escuelas y distritos de alta pobreza.

“Las escuelas menos financiadas no pueden acceder a ellos por el costo”, dijo Duran.

Además del gobernador, otro poderoso legislador estatal, el senador estatal demócrata de Glendale, Anthony Portantino, es disléxico. Mientras presidía el Comité de Asignaciones del Senado, en repetidas ocasiones, y sin éxito, ha redactado leyes que exigen que las escuelas públicas evalúen a todos los estudiantes entre kindergarten y el segundo grado. El proyecto de ley recibió apoyo unánime en los comités de Educación y Asignaciones del Senado, pero el proyecto de ley murió en el Comité de Educación de la Asamblea. Portantino fue autor del mismo proyecto de ley en 2020, pero nunca salió del Senado estatal. “Deberíamos liderar la nación y no quedarnos atrás”, dijo Portantino.

Portantino culpó del fracaso de su proyecto de ley más reciente al ex asambleísta demócrata Patrick O’Donnell, quien presidió el Comité de Educación de la Asamblea, por negarse a escuchar el proyecto de ley.

“No es ningún secreto, Patrick O’Donnell estaba en contra de la capacitación de maestros”, dijo Portantino. “Pensó que nuestros distritos escolares y nuestros educadores no tenían la capacidad”.

O’Donnell no respondió a las solicitudes de comentarios. Dado que O’Donnell no programó una audiencia sobre el proyecto de ley, no hay constancia de que haya comentado al respecto en ese momento.

Portantino planea redactar un proyecto de ley casi idéntico este año. Dijo que tiene más esperanzas porque el Comité de Educación de la Asamblea ahora está bajo el liderazgo del asambleísta Al Muratsuchi, un demócrata de Torrance. Muratsuchi no quiso comentar sobre el destino potencial de un proyecto de ley de detección de dislexia este año.

Levy ahora trabaja como defensora profesional de los padres de estudiantes con discapacidades. Ella dijo que sin la prueba obligatoria de dislexia, solo los padres que pueden permitirse contratar a alguien como ella podrán obtener los servicios que necesitan para sus hijos.

“Muchos niños de secundaria están leyendo por debajo del nivel de tercer grado”, dijo. “Para mí, eso es simplemente desgarrador”.

THIS HEART HEALTH MONTH , KEEP YOUR FAMILY'S HEART HEALTH TOP OF MIND WITH THESE RECIPES

ENGLISH

BPT

Whencooking for your family, do you consider the beneficial value of the ingredients you use? This February, as part of National Heart Health Month, prioritize your heart by making simple changes!

According to the American Heart Association, more than half of Hispanic men and almost 43% of Hispanic women have some form of cardiovascular disease. While there are many factors for developing heart disease, one of the areas you can control to reduce the risk is your diet. Chef, TV personality and entrepreneur Ana Quincoces shares her views on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

"After my mother's heart attacks, heart health has been a top priority in my family," says Quincoces. "Prioritizing heart health is easier than you think! One of the many reasons I prefer to use corn oil, like Mazola Corn Oil, is because it helps me maintain stable cholesterol levels for myself and my loved ones! In fact, even a 1% reduction in bad (LDL) cholesterol has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease by 2 to 3%. The Journal of Clinical Lipidology has published a study that found that corn oil, like hearthealthy Mazola, can help lower cholesterol 2x more than extra-virgin olive oil!"

Hispanic foods sometimes get a bad reputation for being unhealthy, but it's ultimately dependent on how you go about creating these dishes. With just some simple ingredient substitutions, you can transform traditional family recipes into delicious meals that could help you keep your family's heart healthy.

In honor of Heart Health Month, Mazola Corn Oil and Celebrity Chef Ana Quincoces are sharing some recipe variations on delicious Hispanic dishes your family can eat this month and beyond.

¿Cuándo cocina para su familia, considera los beneficios nutricionales de los ingredientes que utiliza? Este febrero, como parte del Mes Nacional de la Salud del Corazón, ¡priorice su corazón haciendo cambios simples!

De acuerdo a la Asociación Americana del Corazón, más de la mitad de los hombres hispanos y casi el 43 por ciento de las mujeres hispanas tienen algún tipo de enfermedad cardiovascular. Aunque existen varios factores que influyen el desarrollo de enfermedades cardíacas, una de las áreas que uno puede controlar para reducir el riesgo es la alimentación. La chef, personalidad de televisión y empresaria Ana Quincoces comparte su punto de vista sobre la importancia de mantener un estilo de vida saludable.

"Después de los ataques cardíacos de mi madre, la salud cardiovascular ha sido una prioridad en mi familia", dice Quincoces. "¡Priorizar la salud del corazón es más fácil de lo que piensas! Una de las razones por las que prefiero usar Aceite de Maíz Mazola es porque me ayuda a mantener niveles estables de colesterol para mí y mis seres queridos. De hecho, la reducción de tan solo 1 por ciento de colesterol malo (LDL) ha sido efectivo para reducir el riesgo de enfermedades del corazón entre dos y tres por ciento. La Revista de la Clínica de Lipidología ha publicado un estudio que encontró que el aceite de maíz, como Mazola, saludable para el corazón, puede ayudar a reducir el colesterol 2 veces más que el aceite de oliva extra virgen!"

En ocasiones, los alimentos hispanos tienen una mala reputación por ser poco saludables, pero esto depende de cómo uno cocina estos platillos. Con solo algunas simples sustituciones de ingredientes, se pueden transformar recetas tradicionales en deliciosas comidas que podrían ayudar a mantener saludable el corazón de su familia.

WITH A GUARANTEED INCOME , YOU CAN BUY PRECIOUS TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY, SAY CALIFORNIA PARENTS

Los Angeles and Oakland parents who received monthly cash without restrictions from new pilot programs said it did more than help them pay bills. What they gained, they said, was priceless — more time with their children.

Jeanne Kuang CalMatters

Before the pandemic, Claudia Gutierrez worked day shifts in one fast food drive-thru and night shifts in another, never making more than the minimum wage.

The coronavirus cut those hours in half.

Gutierrez, 51, lives with her two teenagers, an adult daughter, her daughter’s boyfriend and their 8-year-old child in an apartment in south Los Angeles. Her daughter and daughter’s boyfriend also worked in restaurants.

The pandemic threw the family into financial peril. At one point, the whole family got sick except her. They received some state rental assistance during the pandemic, but as an immigrant, Gutierrez doesn’t qualify for many other forms of aid.

Still, even though the family had to move to a new apartment, they managed to stay afloat last year — with the help of $1,000 a month from the city of Los Angeles, in one of the nation’s largest experiments with a “guaranteed income.”

Gutierrez was one of 3,204 people randomly selected for a one-year pilot program that gave Los Angeles families living in poverty monthly cash payments, with no restrictions.

The payments, Gutierrez said, helped her find a new home, lowered her stress and gave her time with her children.

“It impacted me personally in every way,” she said, “mentally, emotionally, in every sense.”

It was one of dozens of similar experiments that municipalities and nonprofits across California have launched in recent years. Like the one in Los Angeles, many of the experiments are publicly funded, often using COVID relief dollars from the federal government.

The payments in Los Angeles ended in December. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Southern California are studying the effects on the recipients’ physical and mental health and financial stability.

“I said to myself, this (program)

would be for me an opportunity to offer my children a better lifestyle, to have more time for them.”

-CLAUDIA GUTIERREZ, LOS ANGELES PARENT IN A GUARANTEED INCOME PROGRAM

Of the more than 40 guaranteed income pilot programs that CalMatters identified as operating or preparing to launch across California, roughly a third are like Los Angeles’: targeting low-income families with at least one child in the home.

Families with children have long been the subject of policy debates about how to best alleviate poverty and improve social mobility for future generations. Studies show cash transfers to low-income families — especially when children are young — are associated with improved child development, better performance in school, stronger health outcomes and increases in the children’s future earnings.

But most safety net programs restrict spending to specific items, such as food, and the nation’s primary program for cash aid to families with children — welfare — has long had work requirements and other criteria to receive assistance.

A 1996 federal law aimed at reducing welfare enrollment eliminated what used to be a guarantee of aid for families who qualify based on income, precipitating steep declines in those re-

ceiving assistance. The policy’s work requirement was intended to reduce dependence on welfare, but anti-poverty advocates have criticized it as too rigid, given the barriers poor people face finding well-paying, stable employment.

Now cities like Los Angeles, and several others in California, are testing guaranteed income programs as a new, unrestricted form of assistance, in the hopes that the flexibility will allow families to address the myriad challenges of poverty themselves.

A difficult choice

Unlike other aid programs, LA’s guaranteed income pilot had no mandates.

Gutierrez didn’t have to prove that she had worked a set number of hours. There were no restrictions on how she could spend the money. She didn’t even need to be a U.S. citizen.

To be eligible, Gutierrez just had to be a city resident meeting certain poverty measures, and she had to have at least one child or a college-aged dependent living at home.

The money came every month; it didn’t go up or down depending on how much she earned on her jobs.

Shortly after payments began last January, the family was notified that their building was being sold. Gutierrez saved the first few guaranteed income checks as she apartment-hunted in

one of the tightest housing markets in recent history.

Between the first month’s rent, the security deposit and moving costs, the payments covered the nearly $6,000 it took to get them into a new apartment, she said, a sum she had never had all at once before.

The rest of the year, the payments went toward rent and other expenses. Each month, she set aside $100 for her children to spend as they wished. She took her 14-year-old daughter to a beloved Thai restaurant in Hollywood. A video on Gutierrez’s phone shows the girl beaming over a bowl of soup.

Gutierrez kept working part-time. Last year, sky-high gas prices made commuting to the second job hardly worth her time and money, she said; the cash payments helped supplement the loss of income. Since they’ve ended, she hasn’t gotten the hours back at the second job yet, so her family has cut back on expenses again.

In the past year Gutierrez noticed her anxiety, which had built so high she once saw a doctor for vertigo, had begun to ease.

The most consequential thing the money bought, Gutierrez said, was freedom from a difficult choice. For years multiple jobs kept her away from watching her children grow up; the thought still brings her guilt.

“Either I gave them food and I could have money, or I could just be there with them,” she said. “But what was I going to do being with them if I didn’t have money?”

Some of her older children didn’t finish high school. This year, her 18-year-old son is on track to graduate, she said, and the 14-year-old is planning her classes with college in mind.

Gutierrez takes it as a sign she has been “staying on top of them.”

“I would never leave my job, because I am not a person who wants to be at home doing nothing,” she said. “I said to myself, this (program) would be for me an opportunity to offer my children a better lifestyle, to have more time for them.”

Generational impact

Critics of guaranteed income programs say they discourage work and stretch the government’s safety net beyond what’s feasible.

Proponents argue giving unconditional cash to people in poverty grants them flexibility when wages, welfare and charity aren’t enough. In particular, the payments can help those who need time for a valuable, uncompensated job: raising children.

“There’s so much academic research that shows that stabilizing the home a child lives in gives a generational impact for 10, 20 years,” said Aly Bonde, manager of a guaranteed income pilot program in Oakland.

The city and a nonprofit called Oakland Thrives are testing an 18-month run of guaranteed income two ways: One 300-person group includes randomly selected families with children, who take home less than half the area’s median income and who live in east Oakland. The second cohort, also a 300-person group of even lower-income families, was randomly selected from across the city and they will be compared to a control group in the study.

“There’s so much academic research that shows that stabilizing the home a child lives in gives a generational impact for 10, 20 years.”

-ALY BONDE, MANAGER OF A GUARANTEED INCOME PILOT PROGRAM IN OAKLAND

Blue Meridian Partners, a New Yorkbased private philanthropic organization, is funding the payments of $500 a month for both cohorts. The first cohort, after finishing its 18-month run, recently was extended for six months with a donation from the San Francisco Foundation.

A 2018 Oakland city report found white households in the city have three times the income of Black households and more than 1.5 times that of Latino households.

Program managers picked the neighborhood of the first cohort because its residents are predominantly people of color; city leaders said it’s an area of “prime importance and high racial disparities,” and it was hit hard by the pandemic, Bonde said.

Researchers will be studying how guaranteed income affects recipients’ health, employment, financial stability and wellbeing, as well as children’s educational outcomes and families’ housing stability.

Bonde said the hope is the program can improve children’s social mobility. While parents have reported using the money to pay for basic necessities, she said, unrestricted cash could free up their time in ways that can have longterm benefits — such as allowing parents to miss an hour of work to attend a school meeting or to pay for child-care so they can take a night class or receive job training.

Noé Salgado, a 38-year-old warehouse worker, was a recipient in the first cohort. In 2021 he was living with his wife and two small children in a one-room apartment attached to his mother’s house.

His work hours had been reduced during the pandemic and the family had fallen behind on bills, he said.

The first few payments from Oakland went to catching up on bills and moving his family into an apartment of their own — a two-bedroom for him, his wife and their now four daughters.

After that, the checks allowed Salgado to buy the children clothes and supplies, and himself power tools to start a car alarm installation business.

Unable to afford childcare for the girls, all under the age of 6, Salgado’s wife stays with the children at home, and Salgado works the equivalent of two jobs at the warehouse to make ends meet.

He said he hopes the installation business takes off and, with more flexible hours, he can bring in enough income to replace some of his time at the warehouse.

“I was trying to use the money in ways where it can produce more money for me,” he said.

He also splurged on the occasional treat for the family, like a trip to the Gilroy Gardens amusement park.

“It felt really good to see my kids happy,” he said. “It was a feeling I’ll never forget.”

CON PROGRAMAS DE INGRESO GARANTIZADO SE PUEDE TENER MÁS TIEMPO CON LA FAMILIA , ASEGURAN ALGUNOS PADRES

Los padres de Los Ángeles y Oakland que recibieron efectivo mensualmente sin restricciones de los nuevos programas piloto dijeron que dichos programas hicieron más que ayudarlos a pagar las cuentas. Lo que ganaron, aseguran, no tiene precio: más tiempo con sus hijos.

Jeanne Kuang

CalMatters

de la pandemia, Claudia Gutiérrez trabajaba turnos diurnos en un autoservicio de comida rápida y turnos nocturnos en otro, sin ganar nunca más que el salario mínimo.

Antes

El coronavirus incluso cortó esas horas a la mitad.

Gutiérrez, de 51 años, vive con sus dos hijos adolescentes, una hija adulta, el novio de su hija y su hijo de 8 años en un departamento en el sur de Los Ángeles. Su hija y el novio de su hija también trabajaban en restaurantes.

La pandemia puso a la familia en peligro financiero. En un momento, toda la familia se enfermó menos ella. Recibieron alguna ayuda estatal para el alquiler durante la pandemia, pero como inmigrante, Gutiérrez no califica para muchas otras formas de ayuda.

Aún así, a pesar de que la familia tuvo que mudarse a un nuevo apartamento, lograron mantenerse a flote el año pasado, con la ayuda de $1,000 al mes de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, en uno de los experimentos más grandes del país llamados como un “ingreso garantizado”.

Gutiérrez fue una de las 3,204 personas seleccionadas al azar para un programa piloto de un año que les dio a las familias de Los Ángeles que viven en la pobreza pagos mensuales en efectivo, sin restricciones.

Los pagos, dijo Gutiérrez, la ayudaron a encontrar un nuevo hogar, redujeron su estrés y le dieron más tiempo con sus hijos.

“Me impactó personalmente en todos los sentidos”, dijo, “mentalmente, emocionalmente, en todos los sentidos”.

Fue uno de docenas de experimentos similares que los municipios y organizaciones sin fines de lucro de California han lanzado en los últimos años. Al igual que el de Los Ángeles, muchos de los experimentos están financiados con fondos públicos, a menudo utilizando dólares de ayuda para el COVID que otorgó el gobierno federal.

Los pagos en Los Ángeles terminaron en diciembre. Investigadores de la Universidad de Pensilvania y la Universidad del Sur de California están estudiando los efectos sobre la salud física y mental y la estabilidad financiera de los beneficiarios.

“Me dije, este (programa) sería para mí una oportunidad de ofrecerles a mis hijos un mejor estilo de vida, tener más tiempo para ellos”.

-CLAUDIA GUTIÉRREZ, DE LOS ÁNGELES Y PARTICIPANTE DE UN PROGRAMA DE INGRESOS GARANTIZADOS

De los más de 40 programas piloto de ingresos garantizados que CalMatters identificó como operativos o que se preparan para lanzar en California, aproximadamente un tercio son como los de Los Ángeles: están dirigidos a familias de bajos ingresos con al menos un niño en el hogar.

Las familias con niños han sido durante mucho tiempo objeto de debates políticos sobre cómo aliviar mejor la pobreza y mejorar la movilidad social para las generaciones

futuras. Los estudios muestran que las transferencias de efectivo a familias de bajos ingresos, especialmente cuando los niños son pequeños, se asocian con un mejor desarrollo infantil, un mejor desempeño en la escuela, mejores resultados de salud y aumentos en los ingresos futuros de los niños .

Pero la mayoría de los programas de red de seguridad restringen el gasto a artículos específicos, como alimentos, y el principal programa nacional de asistencia monetaria para familias con niños, el bienestar social, ha tenido durante mucho tiempo requisitos de trabajo y otros criterios para recibir asistencia. Una ley federal de 1996 destinada a reducir la inscripción en asistencia social eliminó lo que solía ser una garantía de ayuda para las familias que califican en función de los ingresos,

lo que precipitó fuertes descensos en los que reciben asistencia. El requisito de trabajo de la política tenía como objetivo reducir la dependencia del bienestar, pero los defensores contra la pobreza lo han criticado por ser demasiado rígido, dadas las barreras que enfrentan las personas pobres para encontrar un empleo estable y bien remunerado.

Ahora, ciudades como Los Ángeles, y varias otras en California, están probando programas de ingresos garantizados como una nueva forma de asistencia sin restricciones, con la esperanza de que la flexibilidad permita a las familias abordar los innumerables desafíos de la pobreza por sí mismas.

Una elección difícil

Los Ángeles no tenía mandatos específicos. Gutiérrez no tuvo que demostrar que había trabajado un número determinado de horas. No había restricciones sobre cómo podía gastar el dinero. Ni siquiera necesitaba ser ciudadana estadounidense.

Para ser elegible, Gutiérrez solo tenía que ser residente de la ciudad y cumplir con ciertas medidas de pobreza, y tenía que tener al menos un hijo o un dependiente en edad universitaria viviendo en casa.

El dinero llegaba todos los meses; no subía ni bajaba dependiendo de cuánto ganaba en su trabajo.

Poco después de que comenzaran los pagos en enero pasado, se notificó a la familia que su edificio estaba a la venta. Gutiérrez ahorró los primeros cheques de ingresos garantizados mientras buscaba apartamento en uno de los mercados inmobiliarios más ajustados de la historia reciente.

Entre el alquiler del primer mes, el depósito de seguridad y los costos de mudanza, los pagos cubrieron los casi $6,000 que les costó alquilar un apartamento nuevo, dijo, una suma que nunca antes había tenido de una sola vez.

El resto del año, los pagos se destinaron al alquiler y otros gastos. Cada mes, apartaba $100 para que sus hijos los gastaran como quisieran. Llevó a su hija de 14 años a su restaurante tailandés favoritoen Hollywood. Un video en el teléfono de Gutiérrez muestra a la niña sonriendo con un plato de sopa.

Gutiérrez siguió trabajando medio tiempo. El año pasado, los altísimos precios de la gasolina hicieron que viajar al segundo trabajo apenas valiera la pena ni su tiempo ni su dinero, dijo; los pagos en efectivo ayudaron a complementar la pérdida de ingresos. Desde que terminaron, todavía no ha recuperado las horas en el segundo trabajo, por lo que su familia ha vuelto a recortar gastos.

El año pasado, Gutiérrez notó que su ansiedad, que había aumentado tanto que una vez vio a un médico por vértigo, había comenzado a disminuir.

Lo más importante que compró el dinero, dijo Gutiérrez, fue librarse de una elección difícil. Durante años múltiples trabajos la mantuvieron alejada de ver crecer a sus hijos; el pensamiento todavía le trae culpa.

“O les daba comida y podía tener dinero, o simplemente podía estar allí con ellos”, dijo. “Pero, ¿qué iba a hacer yo estando con ellos si no tenía dinero?”.

Algunos de sus hijos mayores no terminaron la escuela secundaria. Este año, su hijo de 18 años está en camino de graduarse, dijo, y la joven de 14 años está planeando sus clases pensando en la universidad.

Gutiérrez lo toma como una señal de que ha estado “manteniéndose al tanto de ellos”.

“Nunca dejaría mi trabajo, porque no soy una persona que quiera estar en casa sin hacer nada”, dijo. “Me dije, este (programa) sería para mí una oportunidad de ofrecerles a mis hijos un mejor estilo de vida, tener más tiempo para ellos”.

Q&A: BEYOND THE STARS WITH KATYA ECHAZARRETA

Arturo Hilario El Observador

February is National Women Inventors Month, a time when women innovators in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are commemorated for their contributions to the world.

Katya Echazarreta is a perfect example of someone to celebrate for her efforts in her field, electrical engineering, and for bringing a spotlight to Latinos in STEM.

Echazarreta is most known for making history last year as the first Mexican-born woman in space, traveling with a Space for Humanity flight as a citizen astronaut on June 4th, 2022. Beyond this incredible first, Echazarreta has a resume built of a strong work ethic and perseverance that began in childhood.

From immigrating to the US at 8, to working towards the goal of becoming and electrical engineer and being in space, her development into a woman in STEM and an inspirational icon for Latinos everywhere is commendable.

As an advocate for engineering education for all, Echazarreta knows all too well the barriers and lack of diversity in the engineering fields, and with her story hopes to be an active and vocal inspiration for all those that want to reach their goals. Beyond being involved in STEM work, she works in science and engineering communication, and has a presence on YouTube on her own channel KatVoltage, as well as hosting duties on Netflix IRL.

Recently we had an opportunity to speak with Echazarreta, who teamed up with Marvel Studios on the eve of the re-

lease of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, to talk about her own story of reaching for the stars, what her newfound spotlight means to her, and how she relates to a certain female engineer in Marvel’s latest.

The newest Ant-Man film continues the story of the loveable thief Scott Lang, who by chance steals a suit that can make him shrink and grown on command. He eventually becomes one of the Avengers, and is thrust into a world of engineering, science and superpowered technology. In the newest installment, Lang’s daughter Cassie (Played by Kathryn Newton) creates a device that can communicate with the quantum realm, but its power is greater than the protagonists could have expected, which leads to adventurous superhero hijinks.

Since it’s Women's National Inventors Month, I was wondering why you personally think it's important to highlight the women creators and inventors in STEM fields.

It's no secret that representation is and will continue to be incredibly important for the generations in the years to come. And a very big reason for this is there's that phrase

It was always very important to have that leader factor, but also that humanitarian, giving back factor to everything that I was doing. Because I understood even then that if I'm going to be the first, I certainly do not want to be the last. And the way that we do that is by extending that hand out.

which says, "you can't be what you can't see." And although I don't believe in it 100%, I do believe that for the vast majority, it is very true.

I know that there are still going to be a few people that do things anyway, such as my case where I became the first Mexicanborn woman in space. But I also understand that it was so, so difficult for me to even get here. And 40 years have passed since the first Mexicanborn astronaut before I came along. And so even though it did happen, still for 40 years, that is a very long time for people to feel like something like this is not possible for them.

And had this come sooner, how many more potentially could we have had, from people growing up and seeing this as more of a possibility? So representation is and will continue to be one of the most important ways that we have at the moment to be able to increase the amount of people in different fields and in different positions in general.

Like you said, the last Mexican-born person in space was 40 years ago. As you yourself progressed in your career, did you at times feel like you were paving a path

that hadn't been done for many Latinos, much less ever for a Mexicanborn woman?

I think that has always been a very natural leader, and it's never really scared me to hear the words "it's never been done." Actually, it's the opposite. I get very excited about it because I've always really loved reading and watching movies about explorers. “We're exploring something new. We're doing something for the first time.” I've always been very attracted to that.

So even as a child, I remember in elementary school, I would go back to kindergarten and tutor them, mentor them, and help them out. And then in middle school, I would go back to elementary school. So for me, it was always very important to have that leader factor, but also that humanitarian, giving back factor to everything that I was doing. Because I understood even then that if I'm going to be the first, I certainly do not want to be the last. And the way that we do that is by extending that hand out.

How does it feel like to be an inspiration, knowing that there's a lot of not only children but people from all walks of life that are looking at you as inspirational for what you've achieved as a Latina and a woman?

I think it's been very strange because I'm an engineer. Engineers don't usually get this kind of attention. It's always been very common for me to see, for example, children and little boys, little girls dressing up as marvel characters. That's something that we see as more normal. But for me to see last Halloween, little girls dressing up as me, that is something that I don't really fully think I can grasp yet, and I'm not sure if I ever

The Mexican-American Electrical Engineer and First Mexican-born Woman in Space Talks About Being a Role Model, Representation in STEM, and Why She Relates to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

will, because it's just not something that you expect out of your life.

You grow up thinking that it's going to be very hard to even just make it to an ounce of what it is that you're dreaming of, especially as a Latina and especially seeing the history of how little amounts of people that come from your backgrounds have been able to achieve what you want.

And so you kind of just get put in survival mode where you're trying to create this life for yourself. You're trying to change the life that your family has been living for so many years. You're trying to get an education; you're trying to make those sacrifices your parents made worth it. And really the last thing on your mind is that you're going to end up as a figure for others.

But I understand why. I understand the reason. I know that in me doing something that, for me was just something I really, truly wanted to do, and it was my dream. But in achieving it and actually going out, achieving it is so inspirational for so many people from our background, because they have never seen this before. They have never seen somebody so young that comes from their same communities, that looks just like them achieve something in this way. And so I understand that it's a great responsibility that I have to them right now.

Who or what was your inspiration while you were growing up to go into engineering?

I think it's one of the reasons why I'm so excited to be partnering up with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, because I have a very similar story to Cassie Lang, who is Ant-Man's daughter. She grew up watching her dad and all the things that he does, and he also happens to be an electrical engineer, which is the same type of engineer that my dad is and that I also am as well. And so I can really relate to her story of seeing her dad and all the things that he was working on, because that was me. That was my story growing up.

I would come home and my dad had his office in the garage, and so I would go in the garage. That's where all of us had our offices as well. We had kind of like a homeworking area way before it was cool! My brother had his little desk here, my sister here, then me here, then my dad had half of the garage, and I would go in there to get help on my homework, and I would see a soldering iron, and I would see a circuit board, and I would see all these different components, and I would ask about them.

“What is that? What is this?” And so to be able to have had that exposure since I was a little girl was really important for me because so many little girls, especially Latinas, do not get access to any of these

things or even answers to what this field even is. So to be honest with you, if I hadn't had that exposure from childhood, I don't know whether I would have followed this career because I probably wouldn't even have known what it was.

So I heard you identify with Cassie Lang, the talented teenage engineer and daughter of Ant-Man?

I think that the scenes that I've seen with her have really spoken to me a lot because it is definitely that experience that she goes through of having this invention and having this thing that she's really proud of, but it ends up being the reason why they get stuck in this other realm. She accidentally opens up a portal.

I think that aspect is really important because engineering is not always going to be beautiful. It's not always going to do the right thing. It's not always going to do the thing you're expecting that it will do. And especially as a female character, to be able to show that aspect of a female engineer is really important because female engineers throughout history have not been allowed to make mistakes.

They're not forgiven so much for their mistakes, and they're not really given that freedom to grow as much as male engineers. And so even though that side of it is not very obvious to any female engineer that is like a breath of fresh air, to be able to see that female engineer, that is not a super genius, not perfect.

Thank you, Katya, last question. If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice as a child wanting to reach the stars, what would it be?

I would probably say to keep going because I am just so proud of the child that I was. I have always been a very confident and secure child, not in my own self, because I was very shy, but in what I wanted and in what my dreams were. That was one thing that I wouldn't compromise on. I always knew that I would achieve it.

Even back then, the words that I was saying were, “I'm going to go to space, I'm going to be an engineer, I'm going to get to NASA. If you're telling me that they're only opening up one position for the type of engineering I want a year, then there's my shot. I'm going to be that one.”

And even though when you're little, it's so much easier to say a lot of these words because you don't truly understand the reality of real life yet, I think that it's so important to be able to be that child that is just so sure, because you can go back and think about those moments when you're now an adult and you're realizing, “oh, you know what? It's actually not as easy as just saying, ‘I'm going to do it.’"

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is now in theaters.

Q&A: MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS ESTRELLAS CON KATYA ECHAZARRETA

La ingeniera eléctrica mexicoamericana y la primera mujer nacida en México en el espacio habla sobre ser un modelo a seguir, la representación en STEM y por qué se relaciona con Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Arturo Hilario El Observador

Febrero es el Mes Nacional de las Mujeres Inventoras, un momento en el que se conmemora a las mujeres innovadoras en STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas) por sus contribuciones al mundo.

Katya Echazarreta es un ejemplo perfecto de alguien a quien celebrar por sus esfuerzos en su campo, la ingeniería eléctrica, y por llamar la atención de los latinos en STEM.

Echazarreta es más conocida por hacer historia el año pasado como la primera mujer nacida en México en el espacio, viajando con un vuelo de Space for Humanity como ciudadana astronauta el 4 de junio de 2022. Más allá de esta increíble primicia, Echazarreta tiene un currículum construido con una fuerte ética de trabajo y perseverancia que comenzó en la infancia.

Desde inmigrar a los EE. UU. a los 8 años, hasta trabajar con el objetivo de convertirse en ingeniera eléctrica y estar en el espacio, su desarrollo como mujer en STEM y un ícono inspirador para los latinos en todas partes es encomiable.

Como defensora de la educación en ingeniería para todos, Echazarreta conoce muy bien las barreras y la falta de diversidad en los campos de la ingeniería, y con su historia espera ser una inspiración activa y vocal para todos aquellos que quieran alcanzar sus metas. Más allá de estar involucrada en el trabajo STEM, trabaja en comunicación de ciencia e ingeniería, y tiene presencia en YouTube en su propio canal KatVoltage, además de ser anfitriona en Netflix IRL.

Recientemente tuvimos la oportunidad

de hablar con Echazarreta, quien se asoció con Marvel Studios en la víspera del lanzamiento de Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, para hablar sobre su propia historia de alcanzar las estrellas, lo que significa su centro de atención recién descubierto para ella, y cómo se relaciona con cierta ingeniera en lo último de Marvel.

La última película de Ant-Man continúa la historia del adorable ladrón Scott Lang, quien por casualidad roba un traje que puede hacer que se encoja y crezca cuando se le ordene. Con el tiempo se convierte en uno de los Avengers y se ve inmerso en un mundo de ingeniería, ciencia y tecnología con superpoderes. En la película más reciente, la hija de Lang, Cassie (interpretada por Kathryn Newton) crea un dispositivo que puede comunicarse con el reino cuántico, pero su poder es mayor de lo que los protagonistas podrían haber esperado, lo que lleva a aventuras de superhéroes aventureros.

Dado que es el Mes Nacional de las Mujeres Inventoras, me preguntaba por qué personalmente crees que es importante destacar a las mujeres creadoras e inventoras en los campos STEM.

No es ningún secreto que la representación es y seguirá siendo increíblemente importante para las generaciones venideras. Y una gran razón para esto es esa frase que dice, "no puedes ser lo que no puedes ver". Y aunque no lo creo al 100%, sí creo que para la gran mayoría, es muy cierto.

Sé que todavía habrá algunas personas que hagan cosas de todos modos, como mi caso en el que me convertí en la primera mujer nacida en México en el espacio. Pero también entiendo que fue muy, muy difícil para mí llegar hasta aquí. Y

La ingeniera eléctrica mexicoamericana, astronauta y defensora de la educación STEM Katya Echazarreta se convirtió en la primera mujer nacida en México en viajar al espacio en 2022.

pasaron 40 años desde que apareció el primer astronauta nacido en México antes de que yo llegara. Y aunque sucedió, aún durante 40 años, es mucho tiempo para que las personas sientan que algo así no es posible para ellos.

Y si esto hubiera llegado antes, ¿cuántas más potencialmente podríamos haber tenido, de personas que crecieron y vieron esto como una posibilidad? Entonces la representación es y seguirá siendo una de las formas más importantes que tenemos en este momento para poder aumentar la cantidad de personas en diferentes campos y en diferentes posiciones en general.

Como dijiste, la última persona nacida en México en el espacio fue hace 40 años. A medida que tú misma avanzabas en tu carrera, ¿Sentiste que en ocasiones estabas abriendo un camino que no se había hecho para muchos latinos y mucho menos para una mujer nacida en México?

Creo que siempre he sido un líder muy natural, y nunca me asustó mucho escuchar las palabras "nunca se ha hecho". En realidad, es todo lo contrario. I Me emociona mucho porque siempre me ha gustado mucho leer y ver películas sobre exploradores. “Estamos explorando algo nuevo. Estamos haciendo algo por primera vez”. Siempre me ha atraído mucho eso.

Entonces, incluso cuando era niña, recuerdo que en la primaria, volvía al kinder y los instruía, los asesoraba y les ayudaba. Y luego, en la secundaria, volvería a la primaria. Entonces, para mí, siempre fue muy importante tener ese factor de líder, pero también ese factor humanitario, de devolverle todo a lo que estaba haciendo. Porque comprendí incluso entonces que si voy a ser el primero, ciertamente no quiero ser el último. Y la forma en que lo hacemos es extendiendo esa mano.

¿Cómo se siente ser una inspiración, sabiendo que hay muchos no solo niños sino personas de todos los ámbitos de la vida que te ven como un modelo a seguir por lo que has logrado como latina y como mujer?

Creo que ha sido muy extraño porque soy ingeniera. Las ingenieras no suelen recibir este tipo de atención. Siempre ha sido muy común para mí ver, por ejemplo, niños y niñas pequeños disfrazadas de personajes de marvel. Eso es algo que vemos como más normal. Pero para mí ver el último Halloween, niñas pequeñas disfrazadas de mí, eso es algo que realmente no creo que pueda entender todavía, y no estoy segura de si alguna vez lo haré, porque simplemente no es algo que esperas de tu vida.

Creces pensando que va a ser muy difícil lograr siquiera una pizca de lo que estás soñando, especialmente como latina y especialmente viendo la historia de cómo pocas personas que provienen de tus orígenes han podido lograr lo que quieres.

Y entonces simplemente te ponen en modo de supervivencia en el que estás

tratando de crear esta vida para ti. Estás tratando de cambiar la vida que tu familia ha estado viviendo durante tantos años. Estás tratando de obtener una educación; Estás tratando de hacer que esos sacrificios que hicieron tus padres valgan la pena. Y realmente lo último que tienes en mente es que terminarás siendo una figura para los demás.

Pero entiendo por qué. Entiendo la razón. Sé que en mí hacer algo que, para mí, era algo que realmente quería hacer, y era mi sueño. Pero lograrlo y salir, lograrlo es

con Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, porque tengo una historia muy similar a la de Cassie Lang, que es la hija de AntMan. Ella creció viendo a su papá y todas las cosas que él hace, y él también es ingeniero eléctrico, que es el mismo tipo de ingeniero que es mi papá y que yo también soy. Y realmente puedo relacionarme con su historia de ver a su padre y todas las cosas en las que estaba trabajando, porque ese era yo. Esa fue mi historia mientras crecía.

Llegaba a casa y mi papá tenía su oficina

haber tenido esa exposición desde que era una niña fue muy importante para mí porque muchas niñas, especialmente las latinas, no tienen acceso a ninguna de estas cosas o incluso respuestas a lo que es este campo. Entonces, para ser honesta contigo, si no hubiera tenido esa exposición desde la infancia, no sé si hubiera seguido esta carrera porque probablemente ni siquiera hubiera sabido de qué se trataba.

¿Escuché que te identificas con Cassie Lang, la talentosa ingeniera adolescente e hija de Ant-Man?

Creo que las escenas que he visto con ella realmente me han hablado mucho porque definitivamente es esa experiencia por la que ella pasa de tener este invento y tener esta cosa de la que está realmente orgullosa, pero termina siendo la razón por la que se quedan atrapados en este otro reino. Accidentalmente abre un portal.

Creo que ese aspecto es realmente importante porque la ingeniería no siempre va a ser bonita. No siempre va a hacer lo correcto. No siempre va a hacer lo que esperas que haga. Y especialmente como personaje femenino, poder mostrar ese aspecto de una ingeniera es realmente importante porque a las ingenieras a lo largo de la historia no se les ha permitido cometer errores.

muy inspirador para muchas personas de nuestra cultura, porque nunca antes habían visto esto. Nunca han visto a alguien tan joven que viene de sus mismas comunidades, que se parece a ellos lograr algo de esta manera. Entonces entiendo que es una gran responsabilidad que tengo con ellos en este momento.

¿Quién o qué fue tu inspiración mientras crecías para estudiar ingeniería?

Creo que es una de las razones por las que estoy tan emocionada de asociarme

en la cochera, así que entraba a la cochera. Ahí es donde todos nosotros teníamos nuestras oficinas también. ¡Teníamos una especie de área de trabajo en casa mucho antes de que fuera cool! Mi hermano tenía su pequeño escritorio aquí, mi hermana aquí, luego yo aquí, luego mi papá tenía la mitad de la cochera, y yo entraba ahí para que me ayudara con mi tarea, y veía un soldador, y veía una placa de circuito, y veía todos estos diferentes componentes, y preguntaba por ellos.

No se les perdona tanto por sus errores, y en realidad no se les da la libertad de crecer tanto como a los ingenieros varones. Y así, aunque ese lado no es muy obvio para cualquier ingeniera que es como un soplo de aire fresco, poder ver a esa ingeniera que no es un súper genio, que no es perfecta.

Gracias, Katya, última pregunta. Si pudieras volver atrás y darte a ti misma un consejo cuando eras una niña queriendo alcanzar las estrellas, ¿Cuál sería?

Probablemente diría sigue adelante porque estoy muy orgullosa de la niña que fui. Siempre he sido una niña muy confiada y segura, no en mi misma, porque era muy tímida, sino en lo que quería y en lo que eran mis sueños. Esa era una cosa en la que no me comprometería. Siempre supe que lo lograría.

Incluso en ese entonces, las palabras que decía eran: “Voy a ir al espacio, voy a ser ingeniera, voy a llegar a la NASA. Si me estás diciendo que solo están abriendo un puesto para el tipo de ingeniería que quiero por año, entonces ahí está mi oportunidad. Voy a ser ese”.

Y aunque cuando eres pequeño, es mucho más fácil decir muchas de estas palabras porque todavía no entiendes la realidad de la vida real, Creo que es muy importante poder ser ese niño que está tan seguro, porque puedes regresar y pensar en esos momentos en los que ahora eres un adulto y te das cuenta, “oh, ¿sabes qué? En realidad, no es tan fácil como decir: 'Voy a hacerlo'".

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ya está en los cines.

Entonces, para mí, siempre fue muy importante tener ese factor de líder, pero también ese factor humanitario, de devolverle todo a lo que estaba haciendo. Porque comprendí incluso entonces que si voy a ser el primero, ciertamente no quiero ser el último. Y la forma en que lo hacemos es extendiendo esa mano.

Arturo Hilario El Observador

Dancer, Singer and choreographer Zoey Lytle is a multi-talented performer who is on her first national tour after graduating from San Jose State with a BFA in Dance. One of the stops in her multicity tour will be bringing her back to her hometown and to the same theater where her dreams of the stage originally began as a child watching a show, the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

Actor,

She is touring with My Fair Lady, which runs from February 21-26 at the aforementioned Center for the Performing Arts, and tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a working-class flower vendor and Henry Higgins, a high society linguistic professor who believes he can turn Eliza into a “proper lady”. With classic hit songs like “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live”, the musical and its hit 1964 film adaptation have become iconic cultural milestones.

The revival version, which is adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s original play Pygmalion and Gabriel Pascal’s motion picture based off it, premiered in 2018 and has been delighting audiences ever since.

Lytle recently spoke with us about her experiences on being part of a national tour, what it’s like to come back to the stage where her own ambitions were born, and how the show continues to stay relevant and feminist in its themes.

For more information visit broadwaysanjose. com.

I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about how you yourself got started in your career and what that was like. What was your inspiration to get into the performing arts?

I actually started pretty young, and I saw The Sound of Music before I was raised in San Jose, which is obviously, you know, which is why I was calling you. So I saw The Sound of Music tour at the San Jose Center for Performing Arts and I remember telling my mom, I was like, "that's what I want to do. I want to be on that stage someday. I want to do that for a living.” I was so inspired by it.

And so from there, I just started training. Most of my training actually did happen in San Jose. I went to Dance Academy USA, which is in Cupertino, and then also went to San Jose State and I got my BFA in Dance and then moved to New York City and started auditioning right after I graduated and have been pretty much working ever since.

Great. It's really nice to talk to people in the arts that are from the Bay Area, but specifically, what does it feel like to be coming back to the South Bay as a stop on your tour?

It's honestly really special because, like I said, the musical that I saw that inspired me to do this in the first place happened at the theater that we're going to be performing at. So honestly, it's really exciting. It's really special, and I honestly feel, like, super honored to be coming back. I'm really excited, like, all of

my family and friends are going to be there. I feel very lucky to be able to return to where I came from.

That's great. So could you tell me a little bit about your role(s) in My Fair Lady?

Yeah, absolutely. So basically, as far as being a swing, what that means is I cover the entire ensemble, so I know all of the ensemble, all of the female ensemble I know all their roles. So I also have my own tracks. I have my own part that I play in the show every single day, but I also know everyone else's role, and my role is designed so that it can be cut very easily. So basically, like, I'm on the end of formations and things like that. So if I need to go on to someone else, my normal role can basically be cut from the show. So I've been on for a lot of people, because obviously COVID

is a thing and also, we're human beings, and things happen.

So, it definitely keeps me on my toes, playing a lot of different roles. The thing is, it's really challenging, but really fun. And for me, honestly, I get bored easily as a person, so I honestly really enjoy swapping around and getting to play a lot of people's roles. I enjoy my role, and it's been a good challenge.

In your view, what is the show about?

On the on the surface level, the show takes place in about 1912 England and it's about a flower girl, and she kind of becomes the subject of a bet between two men, and they're both, like, very upper class, and they think they can transform her into, like, a duchess, basically. And so it starts with just them basically having a bet and trying to make this happen, and then it's kind of how that falls out.

But also, I feel like the show is actually really a commentary on class and what defines class, and it's also kind of a shift of power dynamics in a really interesting way, where it's like, she starts out with no power, but then kind of finds it. And so it's interesting because it's a very old musical, but it's actually very feminist and progressive for when it was written. And I think that's something that people miss all the time. And our show actu-

ally, in the movie, it ends with Eliza and Higgins getting together at the end, or implies that they do in the movie. But in our play, Eliza actually leaves at the end, which is accurate to the book.

So that's what happens in the book and how it was originally written, with a feminist viewpoint in mind. And so they brought that back in the musical. I personally just think it is really important and really cool and makes the show have actually a very neat commentary and message to it that I don't really feel like the movie has. So, I feel like it's a really beautiful, fresh take.

It honestly kind of shocking considering how long ago it was written, how relevant it still is today, and perhaps honestly, even more so in some ways, especially with the recurring climate. It's very interesting how it applies to today.

For you specifically, what would you say is your favorite aspect of the show, from a dance number or experience from working on it?

My favorite dance summer is probably "Get Me to the Church on Time", which is like this huge dance number. It's kind of midway through act two. And it's really fun because in my normal track, I'm usually a can-can dancer and it's really fun. We just get to have a great time and just kick our faces and run around. That one is really fun, it's just high energy. It's very much like the kind of showstopper number of the production, that's always really fun to do.

And then experience wise, honestly, I've really enjoyed traveling. It's so fun to get to see a lot of parts of the United States that I really never would have gotten to just because, honestly, I never would have had a reason to, for example, come to Kansas City. And it's gorgeous here, you know, it's such a fun city. There's a lot of great culture.

Like, “wow, how lucky am I to be here?” It's somewhere I never would have thought to visit. So it's definitely been very informative, we've learned a lot. And then also, I think the rehearsal process I really enjoyed too, because we got to work with so many great people and we got to briefly work with Bartlett Sher, the director of this production and he's an absolute Broadway legend. So it's just such an honor to get to collaborate with him.

Overall, why would you recommend people see My Fair Lady?

Well, I think it's a very relevant show for a lot of people. And I think it's a show that everyone can enjoy, which I don't think is true for a lot of things. I think there's a lot of shows that are very specific to an age group or a type of person. But I feel like this show is very accessible to everyone.

I think it's not incredibly theoretical or anything. It's funny, anyone who goes is going to have a great time. You could bring your grandma and your kid and everyone will have a good time. It's just very friendly and accessible for everyone. And I feel like that's like a nice thing a lot of people and whole families can come to.
