Hi, my name is Diana Quintana! I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. I’m a soon-to-be sophomore at Arizona State University, I enjoy painting, and going to coffee shops a lot!

DACA 7th Year Anniversary

June 15, 2019 marks the 7th year anniversary of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Instead of celebration we hold heavy hearts and a bittersweet taste. While current applicants can continue to renew, due to Trump’s decision to rescind the program, we see many young people who are being left undocumented because they were too young to apply.
