Acknowledgements
I am so grateful to the Laidlaw Scholars Foundation for providing me with the means and support to participate in this experience. If it were not for these past two summers with the Georgetown University Laidlaw Scholars Programme, I do not believe I would have ended up in the borderlands, which have been so transformative on my worldview and drive moving forward.
I am also grateful to Amy Tice, my Border Community Alliance internship supervisor, for organizing the program, driving us around, and creating such an impactful and memorable experience. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to meet so many incredible people and hear a wide variety of stories and perspectives on the border region.
Finally, I would like to thank Colleen Dougherty for her patience, advice, and for giving me the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful program.
