Adelita is a passionate and radical Chicana student at UCLA. She grew up in Barrio Quien Sabe and, with the guidance of El Profe, earned multiple scholarships and grants to make her college dreams a reality. Now a junior, she’s majoring in Political Science with a minor in Chicano Studies.  Her nickname comes from the legendary Adelitas—the fearless women soldiers who fought alongside men during the Mexican Revolution, immortalized in corridos. True to her name, Adelita is dedicated to the fight for education, working hard to inspire Chicana and Latina high school students to pursue higher learning.  When she graduates, she plans to return to her community and continue the struggle—helping her Homies find their own paths to success.
