About Yajaira Garcia Meza

I grew up in Soledad and Greenfield for most of my life, my love for my community drives my passion to bring change and justice across different systemic and institutional racism. I graduated from Greenfield High School in 2016. I am about to finish my Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and minor in Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley.
