Graduadas amparadas por DACA reflexionan y se preguntan si el sueño Americano sigue siendo para todos.

America Castillo is the winner of last month’s WIA Work From Home Drawing Challenge and was given the opportunity to speak with Becki Tower of Pixar Animation Studios for a one-on-one Q&A session. In speaking with America, though, we were struck by her life’s story, her talent, and her love for the medium of animation. So much so that we wanted to highlight her in a spotlight of her own. Below, we talk with America about how animation helped her relate to other kids, who in the industry inspires her, and her passion and talent for fine art, animation, journalism, and much more.

Voices and chants coincided with one another, as fists were raised in a rhythmic pulse that flowed throughout a crowd on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Bystanders watched from the surrounding homes and businesses as people waved signs and Mexican flags. One of the many protestors was a young woman named after America itself, and fighting for her right to stay.
