Greisa Martinez Rosas, the keynote speaker of the 31st annual All Peoples Celebration, is a woman who needs no introduction. She is a strong, thoughtful leader, poetic in her speech, and wise beyond her years. Alliance San Diego was able to sit down with Greisa for a quick Q&A, and hear Greisa’s thoughts on her work, her experiences as an undocumented woman and youth organizer and the ways the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., help her grow in her work.

Read our interview with Greisa below, and to see Greisa speak, make sure to purchase your tickets to the All Peoples Celebration which will be held on January 21st, 2019!
