“When I think about belonging, I think about the moments when I see myself reflected in the spaces and places that I’m engaged in. I think about when I can create a sense of familia within the spaces that I occupy and when I can truly be myself in those spaces.”

Hector Mujica (he/him) Economic Opportunity Lead, Americas, Google.org
