Thank you. My mom - a child immigrant from Mexico to Iowa - and I used to clean houses together in my small town. This really hit home for me. 🙏🏻🦋🏆 Adelante.

Thank you for sharing that memory, Emily. There’s an entire family history in the image of you and your mother cleaning houses together. One of the things I wanted to capture in this chapter is how readily immigrant labor can be welcomed while the people providing it aren’t always afforded the same respect. It means a great deal to know the story connected with you. Adelante, siempre. ❤️
