Editor s note: This is a first-person narrative from young UC Berkeley alum Bryan Osorio Trujillo, the new mayor of Delano, who took office on Dec. 7.
My parents are Mexican immigrants who came to California as teenagers. Back in Mexico, they had lived in poverty within their home states Dad is from Guerrero; Mom is from Oaxaca. They met working at a Taco Bell in Santa Ana and have worked in the fast-food industry for many years. I was born in Garden Grove, and we moved to Delano when I was 7. My family likes to stick close, so I have two aunts in Delano, as well.
