In this Spanish-language author talk, educator Francisco Estrada reflects on his youth in East Los Angeles during the 1970s and 1980s and the challenges faced by young Chicanos. He shares stories of hardship, perseverance, and the search for opportunity. His book - De Cartolandia a Disneylandia: Ráfagas De Mi Vida - is dedicated to the resilience and determination of so many young people who overcame difficult circumstances, and it aims to pay tribute to those who were left behind along the way.
