“Mariposas Women’s Collective helped me feel more secure and confident about being a first-generation first-year student, especially as a Hispanic woman. Because of them I was able to enter college knowing that I had a group of people who had my back. Throughout this whole time they have been cheering me on and guiding me through any obstacles I possibly encounter. They have provided extra support and shown me that there truly are people out there besides your family that want to see you succeed. The Mariposas Women’s Collective team are incredibly selfless people who go beyond and above for everyone. I feel extremely blessed to have them.”
