Rafael Romero habla con su padre, Rafael Romero Vejar, Subre su vida de trabajo en el campo, su experiencia de migración, y lo que quiere para su familia.
Rafael Romero and his family came to the US from Jalisco, Guadalajara, as agricultural workers when he was fourteen years old. He is the eldest son in his family and he has always worked in the fields. He attended school in Prosser, Washington, and worked part-time after graduating on the ranch where his parents worked. He also contributes his communication skills and experience working as a presenter of a public access television program, director of music videos, and, for the past ten years, as a local radio host for a station in the Tri-Cities. He has lost family members, including his brother and his grandparents. Rafael’s mission is focused on letting people know that their lives are important and finding and developing resources that could not exist without hearing and seeing the needs of others. Rafael currently works at the same vegetable farm he worked at upon arriving from Mexico in addition to his work in radio and with Oregon Rural Action.
