Councilor Mejia emphasizes, 'I remember one time [a] case manager was being really mean spirited, and even though I was nine years old, I still felt that because we were poor and Hispanic.' This comment reflects her early experiences with societal barriers and the need for representation.
Mejia stated, 'We wanted to be super intentional about some of the specific communities that we wanted to uplift, like women, elders, and the small businesses.' This approach showcases her commitment to inclusivity during Hispanic Heritage Month.
