A Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
Join us at San Jose’s City Hall Rotunda for an evening of poignant conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, National Book Award finalist and one of the first undocumented immigrants to graduate from Harvard. Karla’s new novel, Catalina, is a powerful coming-of-age story inspired by her experiences navigating life as an undocumented immigrant. She’ll be joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist José Antonio Vargas, author of Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen. Together, they’ll dive into stories of resilience, identity, and the realities of living undocumented in America.
This is more than a book talk—it’s a space for us to connect, share, and celebrate the power of our stories. Karla will sign books after the discussion. Whether you’re undocumented yourself, come from a mixed-status family, or are an ally, this event is for you.
Event is free and open to all. Registration Required.
