A singer, former newscaster, community activist and attorney, I called Erica a chameleon. “At my core, I am a story teller. If I just say, ‘Who am I?’, and I have to, you know, narrow it down, I really think its about story telling. Because even in the fighting, even in the advocacy work that I do, even in the reason in coming back to El Paso, and being a volunteer for the immigration work and working in the County Attorney’s office, which is all about advocacy and helping the community, it’s still, ‘Let me get this story from these people and explain it in a way that will try to make a difference.’ Like how can I move you, how can I compell you to help this effort or to be a part of it.”
