I believe that my hero Gaby Pacheco is 40 y.o. today. She was the advocate/catalyst who brought about #DACA. She's now the President and CEO of TheDream.us that gives scholarships to undocumented students because they are locked out of most financial aid options. If any friend of mine is a friend of yours, so to speak, please consider making a donation of $40 to their scholarship fund. That would not just be an act of resistance, it would genuinely be spreading hope. To donate: https://lnkd.in/gZ82t_-D
关于我们
The Undocumented GC Network was established to provide guidance to undocumented GC students and GC's as they navigate throughout their genetic counseling journey. We also aim to inform the GC community about barriers faced by undocumented students and GCs. We plan to achieve our vision by drawing awareness of and advocating for issues that impact the undocumented population.

Our founding members had the opportunity to meet in person at the National Society of Genetic Counselors annual conference this past September 2024 in New Orleans. Our small group kicked off the conference with 2 poster presentations by new graduates Stephanie Soto Mangandi, MGC and Beatriz Diaz-Reyes. We enjoyed attending various networking events put on by the NSGC Spanish SIG and the Alliance for Genomic Justice. Our members also enjoyed spending time at the Minority Genetics Professional Network lounge in between attending lectures. Speaking of lectures, Jean Yasis was especially excited to see the Philippines representation on center stage. Lastly, we finished out the conference with Daniela Diaz Caro receiving the Leader in Diversity Award and Stefania Alastre, MSPH, CGC receiving Leader in Cultural Advocacy Award. Special thanks to Alicia Lewis, MHA for traveling from New York City to spend time with us, and for being by our side throughout all of our endeavors. Overall, it was a wonderful experience filled with many adventures around the city, laughter, and amazing Cajun food. We can’t wait to go back!
