I am honored to support Marisela Barbosa-Cortez as she brings to life the stories of Hispanics and Latinos in Vallejo. She is uniquely qualified to write this book having lived, raised her family, and developed her professional career in Vallejo. Her book movingly highlights that, from the day they set foot in Vallejo many years ago, the Hispanic and Latino community continues to accomplish great things today!
