When I was a kid growing up in Guatemala, I used to stutter, I didn't have a voice.

Then as a teenager my family emigrated undocumented to Chicago and I became a bilingual stutter, plus I didn't know the language and couldn't vote, I truly didn't have a voice.

Fast forward a couple of decades, I overcame my stuttering, I learned to speak English with a sexy Latinx accent, and I became a storyteller and an American citizen. I found my voice.

But I never imagine that my writing would be quoted by people and organizations that I admire.

I feel honored and grateful for this blessing.

Sinceramente

Nestor "the Boss" Gomez
