“Representation matters deeply, especially in education and media, where visibility impacts self-worth, ambition and societal perception,” said Enrique Murillo Jr., executive director of Latino Education & Advocacy Days (LEAD). "If we don't tell our own stories, others will. … And they may not get it right. Chances are they won’t get it right.”
