  • 356 - Remix: How Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio Maintains Control of Her Narrative

    This week, we continue with one of our most beloved conversations with members of the new literary canon.

And that's a promise that I couldn't guarantee that I could keep,” she tells Alicia in this searing conversation about not wanting to be a political tool, being among the first undocumented immigrants to graduate from Harvard University, and not thinking too much about herself to avoid “going into dark places.”
