Being a Los Angeles native, Alyah has always been passionate about social justice stemming from witnessing the barriers faced by Latino communities and the reliance with which they navigate them. While her interests center on immigrant rights, Latinx identity, and community empowerment, Alyah is especially passionate about expanding voter registration and civic participation among underrepresented populations.
