Meet Des—Border-Hopping Intern, Poet, & Future Lawyer! (Story 13/40)

My name is Destenie, but I prefer Des.

I was born in Orange, California, and raised in Tijuana/San Diego. I was a 4th grader when my family moved to Tijuana following my stepdad’s deportation, a move that impacted the core of who I am today.
