There used to be these popular cruises on El Camino in Santa Clara in the early ’90s. The first time I really got in trouble was cause I went cruising there in my mom’s car and I got pulled over. I was driving with the high beams on. I was only 12 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One day when we were teenagers, we were in downtown Sunnyvale playing hooky, and we were looking through an old-school magazine that had advertisements. I saw a ’65 Impala for sale on Fair Oaks in Sunnyvale. That was close to where we lived. We called the number and the owner was a lady, and she confirmed that it was still available. We pulled up and I immediately fell in love with the car. It was all original and needed some work — the paint was scratched and it was on stock wheels — but I fell in love. It was cameo beige with original fawn interior, even though it was all ripped up. I was too scared to drive it, so my sister test-drove it. She pushed me to buy it, and later, to paint it. I’ve had it for 21 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13923205']That car is my true baby. Anyone who knows me knows about that ’65 Impala. My sister is on her sixth or seventh lowrider now. But I’ve only had that one. When I took it home, I immediately showed my momma. She absolutely loved it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, we didn’t see a lot of women driving lowriders. People would joke that the lowrider was my boyfriend’s or Daddy’s ride. My mom had a jumpsuit she kept with her, and if something happened with her car, she would work on it. We got into this lifestyle and culture very differently from most people. It wasn’t our dad or a male role model who taught us about cars. It was our mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965358\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965358\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angel Romero has owned her 1965 Impala, nicknamed ‘Saturday Love,’ for over 20 years. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Angel Romero)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>My mom passed away in 2019. Nowadays, lowriding is even more near and dear to my heart. It’s always a big reminder of her. My mom always instilled hard work and respect in us. She was doing things back then that weren’t really being done by women — going back to college to get her degree, and working full-time while raising three kids as a single mom and fixing up her lowrider. Meanwhile, my grandparents were working at a bar they purchased when they retired. They made a life for themselves in Sunnyvale. They worked hard their whole lives and always pushed us to earn what we’ve got. I think that’s something that we don’t see as much these days. We forget our struggles and where we came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nine years, I kept my ’65 all stock. One time, my brother Junior drove it during a Cinco de Mayo cruise and blew the rings. So I rebuilt the motor. Got a new interior, a new paint job. I wanted purple, since that’s my mom’s favorite color, and I wanted everyone to know it was a woman’s car. Then I joined my first car club, Aztec Creations, about a decade ago. A cousin on my dad’s side was the president. I didn’t know much about car clubs, and I learned the basics — the do’s and don’ts. But it seemed a little bit like a disconnect for me. I love my family and the car club was great, but I went back to being a solo rider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965363\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1242px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965363\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465.jpg 1242w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-1020x553.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-160x87.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angel Romero’s 1965 Impala as it looked in 2003, when she bought it from the classified ads in a local paper in Sunnyvale. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Angel Romero)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few years later, I missed the whole camaraderie and unity of a car club, just riding with other people. So I reached out to a friend who was in the Str8 Riders. I became the first lady of that club, and I hoped to take it to a whole different level. More community, more things we could do like fundraisers and drives, bigger events. Giving back. My mom always told us from a young age that when she didn’t have much, other people helped her. Sunnyvale Community Services helped pay our bills and helped us on Christmas when we didn’t have much. Later on, when my mom got a better-paying job, she would always donate things and help people. My mom was very giving and loving, always helping the less fortunate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wanted to honor her sense of giving and take the car club in a new direction, but it didn’t feel like a good fit for me at the time, so I decided to leave. After that, I started to help with the\u003ca href=\"https://ulcsj.com/\"> United Lowrider Council of San Jose\u003c/a>. In 2018, me and another girl helped to get the council started. Even then, lowriding still seemed to be male-dominated. Sometimes it felt like a woman’s voice wasn’t being heard. Nowadays, it’s great to see so many women on the council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I always dreamed of having an all-female car club — \u003cem>how badass would that be?\u003c/em> — so me, my sister, my niece and some friends got together and said “Let’s do this. We’ve been in the scene for years, it’s our lifestyle. We cruise and go to car shows already. We might as well put a name on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965357\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1462px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965357\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1462\" height=\"1949\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39.jpg 1462w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1462px) 100vw, 1462px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A member of Dueñas lowrider club parked in a strip mall in Sunnyvale, close to the childhood neighborhood of group founder Angel Romero.

We put things together. The hardest part was coming up with the name. We wanted people to know we were female owners of these cars. We were tired of the whole, “It’s your man’s ride.” Dueña means “owner” in Spanish. And we’re the proud female owners of all these cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I told my mom, she was so excited. When we used to go out to events, I would be in the hallway bathroom getting ready, and my mom would always say I looked so beautiful. We’d wash our cars, polish them, and my mom would stand in the garage doorway cheering us on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the beginning everyone was like, whatever. We were just more cars on the road, people didn’t really pay attention. But eventually when we passed through, people were like, \u003cem>wait\u003c/em>. We knew people on the scene and everyone started to get excited. It’s all females, so we didn’t know what to expect. But we’ve been happy with how much support we’ve gotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the ’65 was involved in an accident, I wanted to get a ’63 Impala convertible to dedicate to my mom, since she was born in ’63. I kept looking around for one. They’re very pricey. I decided to sell the ’65 to my brother. When I told her I was getting the ’63, she said “Those are effing ugly.” It broke my heart. We talked about it, but we didn’t get to finish our conversation, because we were in a rush, getting ready to hit a cruise. My mom stayed home. That night, she had a complete heart block and ended up on life support. She didn’t make it. That was one of the hardest times of my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965360\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 645px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965360\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_4090.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_4090.jpg 645w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_4090-160x144.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mural of Angel Romero’s mother, Maricela Rodriguez, on the back of Romero’s purple Chevy Impala.

One thing is that I feel like lowriding isn’t just lowriding. It’s something I did with my mom, a love we shared. After that, me and the girls in my club, maybe five or six of us at the time — all of us close family friends for 30 years, sisters, nieces, cousins — we wanted to do something. It was our first year as a car club, and my mom was so big on giving back. We decided to do a toy drive. We got in contact with the San Jose Earthquakes who allowed us to use their parking lot to have the toy drive. We had an outpouring of support from the lowriding community, and the community in general. We donated to some of the local shelters and camps for union workers, for farmers. That was amazing. We couldn’t believe it. We got to do what we love with lowriding, being with my sisters, but also got to do things for the community. Helping people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a good relationship with all the car clubs around here. The lowrider community is all about unity. What most people don’t realize about our lifestyle is the family aspect. If you look at these car clubs, it’s dads, moms, grandpas, grandmas, grandchildren. It’s truly our family. The women in the lowriding community were extremely supportive when we first came out. We weren’t being passenger princesses who only helped to cook and get the kids dressed. This was different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was growing up in Sunnyvale, people had classic cars here and there. There were more lowriders and more Chicanos in the area. Of course, that all started to change a little bit throughout the years with Google and Yahoo! and tech and all that stuff. People started to be driven out, or bought out. Neighbors could no longer afford those weekend cars, and maybe had to sell their rides or sell their homes. Sunnyvale changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, San Jose’s love for lowriding was growing. It felt like more people were buying cars, and more women became involved over the years. Now, I go cruising and there’s so many women with cars. Women in general have evolved. I think tech had something to do with that around here, too. There are women CEOs, women out there doing more and getting more education, not just being a housewife. Now with technology you go on Facebook or Instagram and you can see lowriders here, or over there, everywhere. So it’s easier to network. That technology had a big impact on lowriding and where it’s at today going worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965358\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965358\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angel Romero’s has owned her 1965 Impala, nicknamed “Saturday Love” for over 20 years. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Angel Romero)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I recently saw a video about two sisters who built their car in Texas. That’s badass. When I work on my car, I get help from my family and I use YouTube. I learn stuff. Technology and the internet has really impacted the lowrider community in many good ways. Google sponsored an event I attended that was put on by\u003ca href=\"https://blogs.sjsu.edu/newsroom/2023/ricardo-cortez-and-the-abcs-of-lowrider-culture/\"> Ricardo Cortez\u003c/a>. He’s known as “Mr. Lowrider Fever” and he has hosted a few of his workshops in the area. But tech also makes it hard to live here like we used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, I visit my family home in Sunnyvale, even though we had to sell it. The new owners rent it out for $800 a night on Airbnb. It’s sad. It’s crazy, what the neighborhood has become. We used to go cruising in the Bay every weekend. Now, I feel like you can’t buy a house and build a car, it’s too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all this money here, how can we not do more for the middle class? You have all these rich techies moving in. When I visit my friends who are still in Sunnyvale, it’s just so different. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Last Friday we hosted a bake sale at a local high school as a fundraiser to help kids on the football team to get their helmets and equipment. Where is Silicon Valley for that? These kids don’t even have the proper equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13965374']I would’ve loved, \u003ci>loved\u003c/i> to have stayed in Sunnyvale around my family and friends. It’s impossible. So here I am in Modesto — it’s okay, but it isn’t home. There should be another solution. I wanted to move back, but I can’t even afford an apartment with a garage for my car (laugh out loud).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I moved to Modesto, everyone asked if I was going to create a Dueñas chapter here in the Central Valley. But we feel that what works for us — as we celebrate our five-year anniversary — is quality over quantity. Keeping it small with close friends and family who really have the passion for this. My sister is in Hollister, a few of us are in San Jose, I’m out in Modesto and the rest are in Sunnyvale. Nine total members. We also started a lowrider bike club. Our daughters were interested and helped us in building it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They wanted to cruise with us, too. They enjoy it just as much as we do, and it reminded us of growing up with our moms, aunts and older sisters. Let’s do something for them, for our girls. Something they can build and be proud of.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I didn’t have money to get my own when I was younger, but my cousin had a mini truck with hydraulics. He would pick me up from high school in it and on weekends we would go cruising. There used to be these popular cruises on El Camino in Santa Clara in the early ’90s. The first time I really got in trouble was cause I went cruising there in my mom’s car and I got pulled over. I was driving with the high beams on. I was only 12 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One day when we were teenagers, we were in downtown Sunnyvale playing hooky, and we were looking through an old-school magazine that had advertisements. I saw a ’65 Impala for sale on Fair Oaks in Sunnyvale. That was close to where we lived. We called the number and the owner was a lady, and she confirmed that it was still available. We pulled up and I immediately fell in love with the car. It was all original and needed some work — the paint was scratched and it was on stock wheels — but I fell in love. It was cameo beige with original fawn interior, even though it was all ripped up. I was too scared to drive it, so my sister test-drove it. She pushed me to buy it, and later, to paint it. I’ve had it for 21 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Nowadays, lowriding is even more near and dear to my heart. It’s always a big reminder of her. My mom always instilled hard work and respect in us. She was doing things back then that weren’t really being done by women — going back to college to get her degree, and working full-time while raising three kids as a single mom and fixing up her lowrider. Meanwhile, my grandparents were working at a bar they purchased when they retired. They made a life for themselves in Sunnyvale. They worked hard their whole lives and always pushed us to earn what we’ve got. I think that’s something that we don’t see as much these days. We forget our struggles and where we came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nine years, I kept my ’65 all stock. One time, my brother Junior drove it during a Cinco de Mayo cruise and blew the rings. So I rebuilt the motor. Got a new interior, a new paint job. I wanted purple, since that’s my mom’s favorite color, and I wanted everyone to know it was a woman’s car. Then I joined my first car club, Aztec Creations, about a decade ago. A cousin on my dad’s side was the president. I didn’t know much about car clubs, and I learned the basics — the do’s and don’ts. But it seemed a little bit like a disconnect for me. I love my family and the car club was great, but I went back to being a solo rider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965363\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1242px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965363\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465.jpg 1242w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-1020x553.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-160x87.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_9465-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angel Romero’s 1965 Impala as it looked in 2003, when she bought it from the classified ads in a local paper in Sunnyvale. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Angel Romero)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few years later, I missed the whole camaraderie and unity of a car club, just riding with other people. So I reached out to a friend who was in the Str8 Riders. I became the first lady of that club, and I hoped to take it to a whole different level. More community, more things we could do like fundraisers and drives, bigger events. Giving back. My mom always told us from a young age that when she didn’t have much, other people helped her. Sunnyvale Community Services helped pay our bills and helped us on Christmas when we didn’t have much. Later on, when my mom got a better-paying job, she would always donate things and help people. My mom was very giving and loving, always helping the less fortunate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wanted to honor her sense of giving and take the car club in a new direction, but it didn’t feel like a good fit for me at the time, so I decided to leave. After that, I started to help with the\u003ca href=\"https://ulcsj.com/\"> United Lowrider Council of San Jose\u003c/a>. In 2018, me and another girl helped to get the council started. Even then, lowriding still seemed to be male-dominated. Sometimes it felt like a woman’s voice wasn’t being heard. Nowadays, it’s great to see so many women on the council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I always dreamed of having an all-female car club — \u003cem>how badass would that be?\u003c/em> — so me, my sister, my niece and some friends got together and said “Let’s do this. We’ve been in the scene for years, it’s our lifestyle. We cruise and go to car shows already. We might as well put a name on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965357\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1462px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965357\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1462\" height=\"1949\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39.jpg 1462w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-800x1066.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/CanonPNS_Aug25-39-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1462px) 100vw, 1462px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A member of Dueñas lowrider club parked in a strip mall in Sunnyvale, close to the childhood neighborhood of group founder Angel Romero.

We were just more cars on the road, people didn’t really pay attention. But eventually when we passed through, people were like, \u003cem>wait\u003c/em>.

But we’ve been happy with how much support we’ve gotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the ’65 was involved in an accident, I wanted to get a ’63 Impala convertible to dedicate to my mom, since she was born in ’63. I kept looking around for one. They’re very pricey. I decided to sell the ’65 to my brother. When I told her I was getting the ’63, she said “Those are effing ugly.” It broke my heart. We talked about it, but we didn’t get to finish our conversation, because we were in a rush, getting ready to hit a cruise. My mom stayed home. That night, she had a complete heart block and ended up on life support. She didn’t make it.

One thing is that I feel like lowriding isn’t just lowriding. It’s something I did with my mom, a love we shared. After that, me and the girls in my club, maybe five or six of us at the time — all of us close family friends for 30 years, sisters, nieces, cousins — we wanted to do something. It was our first year as a car club, and my mom was so big on giving back. We decided to do a toy drive. We got in contact with the San Jose Earthquakes who allowed us to use their parking lot to have the toy drive. We had an outpouring of support from the lowriding community, and the community in general. We donated to some of the local shelters and camps for union workers, for farmers. That was amazing. We couldn’t believe it. We got to do what we love with lowriding, being with my sisters, but also got to do things for the community. Helping people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a good relationship with all the car clubs around here. The lowrider community is all about unity. What most people don’t realize about our lifestyle is the family aspect. If you look at these car clubs, it’s dads, moms, grandpas, grandmas, grandchildren. It’s truly our family. The women in the lowriding community were extremely supportive when we first came out. We weren’t being passenger princesses who only helped to cook and get the kids dressed. This was different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was growing up in Sunnyvale, people had classic cars here and there. There were more lowriders and more Chicanos in the area. Of course, that all started to change a little bit throughout the years with Google and Yahoo! and tech and all that stuff. People started to be driven out, or bought out. Neighbors could no longer afford those weekend cars, and maybe had to sell their rides or sell their homes. Sunnyvale changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, San Jose’s love for lowriding was growing. It felt like more people were buying cars, and more women became involved over the years. Now, I go cruising and there’s so many women with cars. Women in general have evolved. I think tech had something to do with that around here, too. There are women CEOs, women out there doing more and getting more education, not just being a housewife. Now with technology you go on Facebook or Instagram and you can see lowriders here, or over there, everywhere. So it’s easier to network. That technology had a big impact on lowriding and where it’s at today going worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965358\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965358\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-scaled.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_2733-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angel Romero’s has owned her 1965 Impala, nicknamed “Saturday Love” for over 20 years. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Angel Romero)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I recently saw a video about two sisters who built their car in Texas. That’s badass. When I work on my car, I get help from my family and I use YouTube. I learn stuff. Technology and the internet has really impacted the lowrider community in many good ways. Google sponsored an event I attended that was put on by\u003ca href=\"https://blogs.sjsu.edu/newsroom/2023/ricardo-cortez-and-the-abcs-of-lowrider-culture/\"> Ricardo Cortez\u003c/a>. He’s known as “Mr. Lowrider Fever” and he has hosted a few of his workshops in the area. But tech also makes it hard to live here like we used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To this day, I visit my family home in Sunnyvale, even though we had to sell it. The new owners rent it out for $800 a night on Airbnb. It’s sad. It’s crazy, what the neighborhood has become. We used to go cruising in the Bay every weekend. Now, I feel like you can’t buy a house and build a car, it’s too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all this money here, how can we not do more for the middle class? You have all these rich techies moving in. When I visit my friends who are still in Sunnyvale, it’s just so different. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Last Friday we hosted a bake sale at a local high school as a fundraiser to help kids on the football team to get their helmets and equipment. Where is Silicon Valley for that? These kids don’t even have the proper equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Raised in East Palo Alto, he moved to Mountain View to finish high school. At the time, our neighborhood marked the southeasternmost edge of the city, bounded by a confusing mix of U.S. Highway 101, former orchard fields, tech offices, motels, Section 8 housing, an RV park and an active military base. It’s where I once saw Gary break a grown man’s nose during a neighborhood boxing tilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between the family of eight Samoan brothers in a two-bedroom home at the end of the block, Mexican kids like Pollo and Darby across the street, and football players like Gary in the nearby apartment complex, our neighborhood had no shortage of friendships — and fights. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, our corner of Scrillacon Valley felt like an actual community where everyone knew each other.

Been doing nonprofit youth development for a while. I oversee the digital music lab for \u003ca href=\"https://devmission.org/\">Dev Mission\u003c/a>, a free enrichment program in San Francisco, focused on getting more people of color and women actively working in the tech industry. As Bay Area natives, it’s so difficult to break into that field, and people are being pushed out. So we focus on education around tech skills and opportunities, especially for those youth and folks from underserved areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>That’s important. Especially since we grew up in the part of that Bay where tech work has really changed the affordability for local families.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes back to gentrification. To think that Mountain View and EPA [East Palo Alto] are so different from what they were growing up. Those pockets of culture that used to exist have dissipated. Back in the day, you could walk down to the club in Mountain View, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mv-voice.com/morgue/2003/2003_08_29.limelt.html\">Limelight\u003c/a>, do whatever the fuck you wanted to do, and walk the fuck home, bruh. They had those little clubs out in Sunnyvale, we would go down there. I remember my homie Nicar, when he got his very first car, we pushed that little thing down to the club and all over, just rolling down 101. That’s the type of shit you don’t really see anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unaffordable. The culture has changed. So many of us have been pushed out, unless you were lucky enough to get a form of housing, or worked in the tech industry to sustain yourself. It’s just hard to keep up. It’s sad that it’s all dripped away. That sense of community leaves when the culture starts to fade. And we’re seeing it in the larger cities, too. Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco. You see that shit when someone new walking around and I’m like, hold on bruh, I ain’t never seen you before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965167\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 324px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965167\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"324\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8220.jpg 324w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8220-160x237.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Though Gary Bizer was born in the Bay Area, his mom migrated from Arkansas to East Palo Alto to live with relatives.

That’s the reality living in the Bay now, sadly. Where are you at these days?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I live in Oakland, been based here for the past 13 years. I moved to the East Bay around college. Still trying to figure out how to stay in the area and afford it. It’s ridiculous trying to make it. But it’s lively here; it’s where the action is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What’s your connection to Silicon Valley?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m originally from East Palo Alto. My mom came out from Arkansas when she graduated high school and moved to EPA with her auntie and uncle. I had four great aunties and uncles. Two of them still live there; they’re the last ones living. I was born and raised there, but we always went to school in Mountain View, starting in kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Education was always important in my home. My mom made sure that no matter what, we had access to it. Compared to EPA during that time, which was known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2024-01-10/how-east-palo-alto-went-from-u-s-murder-capital-to-murder-free-essential-california\">the murder capital\u003c/a>, Mountain View had better schools. We moved to Mountain View later on and lived there with my aunt and a few of my cousins. It made it easy during middle school and high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got to develop a good understanding that a lot of folks don’t necessarily get. Lot of my family and friends in my old hood didn’t know how to interact with white people. I got to go to school and connect with all kinds of different people. That was extremely useful for me. But it wasn’t no easy walk in the park either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What brought your family to this region from Arkansas? And how have you seen it change?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom worked at Hewlett-Packard growing up. One of the biggest tech companies, the grandfather of what Apple is today. Having that insight, from her literally being in the tech industry, was major. I remember her talking about stuff in the ’90s that folks were just catching onto in the 2000s. I was able to see it continue to develop and grow firsthand, not realizing how massive it was getting. I remember when we finally got a computer at the house, that was big shit. From the days of dial-up internet to the first days of viruses and Napster and Limewire. We were that first generation that got to grow up with it and see the boom and impact. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View and what it looks like now, you don’t even recognize parts of the city anymore. The astronomical prices. When I drive back to EPA, bruh, \u003ca href=\"https://localnewsmatters.org/2022/05/18/east-palo-altos-battle-to-thrive-the-growing-pains-of-a-young-majority-minority-city/\">I don’t even recognize the streets I grew up on\u003c/a>. Now you got three of the largest tech companies in the world within a few miles’ radius. Amazon, Facebook, Google. Humongous hubs, all near each other. They’ve taken over and pushed the living rate up. \u003ca href=\"https://stanforddaily.com/2018/11/28/east-palo-alto-median-home-price-to-reach-1-million/\">EPA is a million-dollar city now\u003c/a>. You can’t buy a house under a million. My dad is like, what? He bought his house for $200,000 (laughs). When the property value was low, people came through and bought it off for cheap. People sold off in mass in the early 2000s, moved out to Tracy and those areas. That happened from EPA to Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How have your experiences of traveling all over the Bay Area reshaped the way you see Silicon Valley now?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With KMEL, I’m going hood to hood. From the Crest to Hunters Point. I have an understanding of those places. At the same time, I’m able to rub shoulders with folks in Santa Row, Danville, Blackhawk. I do a lot of work in different neighborhoods, and you can see that divide and who is under-resourced. There are people down the street with all the tools they need, but I’m over here working with kids who barely have running WiFi. As I’ve grown older, that divide has only gotten bigger and bigger in the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley was ground zero for all of that. We saw it happen here first. Now we’ve seen that ripple in Frisco, Oakland, Richmond. The Black population in SF is now around 5%, bruh. That’s ridiculous. Black, Asian, Latino folks have lived here for hella long. Earlier in the 20th century this is where you could get port jobs, working at the docks and offloading for the ships. Now that shift, from industrial to technological, has absolutely changed the makeup of folks who live here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965165\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 880px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965165\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216.jpg 880w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216-800x931.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216-160x186.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216-768x894.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Bizer and his mother, who worked at Hewlett-Packard and raised her sons to value work and community. \u003ccite>(Courtesy G-Biz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Silicon Valley isn’t geographically listed on any map. It’s more of an idea than it is an actual place. But how would you define where it is for people who don’t know?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the Peninsula and South Bay is Silicon Valley. The true heart of it is San Jose. San Jose has been the hub for these mega companies. How many acres does Apple have out in Cupertino? Google is in Mountain View. Of course we know X [formerly Twitter] has been in Frisco for so long [and is now \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998860/x-reportedly-closing-san-francisco-office-amid-elon-musks-anti-california-turn\">reportedly moving to San Jose\u003c/a>]. Lyft and Uber have hubs in Oakland. Tesla has a huge factory down in Fremont. And you can’t forget about San Bruno [with YouTube]. It’s sprinkled all over, but the most centralized part of Silicon Valley is definitely the San Jose area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>I’ve heard people say things like “San Jose isn’t part of the Bay Area.” Why do you think this part of the Bay doesn’t get the same kind of love as our neighbors up north?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folks just talk out the side of they neck. Unless you have family in these other parts of the Bay, you might not travel here. My first time at KMEL when I was younger was my first time in Richmond. People were like, you ain’t never been to Hilltop? Hell no. What I’mma do there, breh? My family wasn’t traveling like that. So imagine someone in Vallejo, a place with a namesake, where you got 40, Mac Dre, all them. Same with SF, Richmond, Oakland. People who grew up out there don’t always have business going down to San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of it ties into the music, too. Folks show love to other places because they got Dru Down, San Quinn, Rappin 4-Tay, JT the Bigga, Too $hort. All them held it down for their cities hella hard. San Jose doesn’t have that [name recognition in rap]. But what people don’t understand is that Shark City is the source of some of the most influential and historic Bay Area songs ever made, by none other than The Slapp Addict himself. Rest in peace to the good brother, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13907735/remembering-traxamillion-whose-beats-defined-the-bay-area-sound\">Traxamillion\u003c/a>. He was from San Jose, and he had so much reach and pull and love around the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easy for folks to not know that some of their favorite anthems came from San Jose, made by a guy from San Jose. Folks might not know about \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9wXMkmmapg\">Sean T out of EPA and what he produced [including Mac Dre’s “Feelin’ Myself”]\u003c/a>. Folks forget about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/10840192/hoodstarz\">Dem Hoodstarz\u003c/a> being some of the biggest hyphy stars. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13936387/east-palo-alto-rap-tapes\">Totally Insane\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13936387/east-palo-alto-rap-tapes\">Neva Legal\u003c/a>. That’s history. Folks might not know that. It’s funny because Pittsburg got rappers like Mob Figaz, so people say that’s the Bay, but then they turn around and say Antioch ain’t the Bay, even though it’s the next city over. Same thing happens with San Jose. There’s a separation of generations that contributes to it all. They might not know the musical history here. But they need to put some respect on this area.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Been doing nonprofit youth development for a while. I oversee the digital music lab for \u003ca href=\"https://devmission.org/\">Dev Mission\u003c/a>, a free enrichment program in San Francisco, focused on getting more people of color and women actively working in the tech industry. As Bay Area natives, it’s so difficult to break into that field, and people are being pushed out. So we focus on education around tech skills and opportunities, especially for those youth and folks from underserved areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>That’s important. Especially since we grew up in the part of that Bay where tech work has really changed the affordability for local families.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes back to gentrification. To think that Mountain View and EPA [East Palo Alto] are so different from what they were growing up. Those pockets of culture that used to exist have dissipated. Back in the day, you could walk down to the club in Mountain View, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mv-voice.com/morgue/2003/2003_08_29.limelt.html\">Limelight\u003c/a>, do whatever the fuck you wanted to do, and walk the fuck home, bruh. They had those little clubs out in Sunnyvale, we would go down there.

That’s the type of shit you don’t really see anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unaffordable. The culture has changed. So many of us have been pushed out, unless you were lucky enough to get a form of housing, or worked in the tech industry to sustain yourself. It’s just hard to keep up. It’s sad that it’s all dripped away. That sense of community leaves when the culture starts to fade. And we’re seeing it in the larger cities, too. Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco.

I moved to the East Bay around college. Still trying to figure out how to stay in the area and afford it. It’s ridiculous trying to make it.

My mom came out from Arkansas when she graduated high school and moved to EPA with her auntie and uncle. I had four great aunties and uncles. Two of them still live there; they’re the last ones living. I was born and raised there, but we always went to school in Mountain View, starting in kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Education was always important in my home. My mom made sure that no matter what, we had access to it. Compared to EPA during that time, which was known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2024-01-10/how-east-palo-alto-went-from-u-s-murder-capital-to-murder-free-essential-california\">the murder capital\u003c/a>, Mountain View had better schools. We moved to Mountain View later on and lived there with my aunt and a few of my cousins. It made it easy during middle school and high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got to develop a good understanding that a lot of folks don’t necessarily get. Lot of my family and friends in my old hood didn’t know how to interact with white people. I got to go to school and connect with all kinds of different people. That was extremely useful for me. But it wasn’t no easy walk in the park either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What brought your family to this region from Arkansas? And how have you seen it change?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom worked at Hewlett-Packard growing up. One of the biggest tech companies, the grandfather of what Apple is today. Having that insight, from her literally being in the tech industry, was major. I remember her talking about stuff in the ’90s that folks were just catching onto in the 2000s. I was able to see it continue to develop and grow firsthand, not realizing how massive it was getting. I remember when we finally got a computer at the house, that was big shit. From the days of dial-up internet to the first days of viruses and Napster and Limewire. We were that first generation that got to grow up with it and see the boom and impact. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View and what it looks like now, you don’t even recognize parts of the city anymore. The astronomical prices. When I drive back to EPA, bruh, \u003ca href=\"https://localnewsmatters.org/2022/05/18/east-palo-altos-battle-to-thrive-the-growing-pains-of-a-young-majority-minority-city/\">I don’t even recognize the streets I grew up on\u003c/a>. Now you got three of the largest tech companies in the world within a few miles’ radius. Amazon, Facebook, Google. Humongous hubs, all near each other. They’ve taken over and pushed the living rate up. \u003ca href=\"https://stanforddaily.com/2018/11/28/east-palo-alto-median-home-price-to-reach-1-million/\">EPA is a million-dollar city now\u003c/a>. You can’t buy a house under a million. My dad is like, what? He bought his house for $200,000 (laughs). When the property value was low, people came through and bought it off for cheap. People sold off in mass in the early 2000s, moved out to Tracy and those areas. That happened from EPA to Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How have your experiences of traveling all over the Bay Area reshaped the way you see Silicon Valley now?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With KMEL, I’m going hood to hood. From the Crest to Hunters Point. I have an understanding of those places. At the same time, I’m able to rub shoulders with folks in Santa Row, Danville, Blackhawk. I do a lot of work in different neighborhoods, and you can see that divide and who is under-resourced. There are people down the street with all the tools they need, but I’m over here working with kids who barely have running WiFi. As I’ve grown older, that divide has only gotten bigger and bigger in the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley was ground zero for all of that. We saw it happen here first. Now we’ve seen that ripple in Frisco, Oakland, Richmond. The Black population in SF is now around 5%, bruh. That’s ridiculous. Black, Asian, Latino folks have lived here for hella long. Earlier in the 20th century this is where you could get port jobs, working at the docks and offloading for the ships. Now that shift, from industrial to technological, has absolutely changed the makeup of folks who live here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965165\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 880px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965165\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216.jpg 880w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216-800x931.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216-160x186.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/IMG_8216-768x894.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Bizer and his mother, who worked at Hewlett-Packard and raised her sons to value work and community. \u003ccite>(Courtesy G-Biz)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Silicon Valley isn’t geographically listed on any map.

The true heart of it is San Jose. San Jose has been the hub for these mega companies. How many acres does Apple have out in Cupertino? Google is in Mountain View. Of course we know X [formerly Twitter] has been in Frisco for so long [and is now \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998860/x-reportedly-closing-san-francisco-office-amid-elon-musks-anti-california-turn\">reportedly moving to San Jose\u003c/a>]. Lyft and Uber have hubs in Oakland. Tesla has a huge factory down in Fremont. And you can’t forget about San Bruno [with YouTube]. It’s sprinkled all over, but the most centralized part of Silicon Valley is definitely the San Jose area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>I’ve heard people say things like “San Jose isn’t part of the Bay Area.” Why do you think this part of the Bay doesn’t get the same kind of love as our neighbors up north?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folks just talk out the side of they neck. Unless you have family in these other parts of the Bay, you might not travel here. My first time at KMEL when I was younger was my first time in Richmond. People were like, you ain’t never been to Hilltop? Hell no. What I’mma do there, breh? My family wasn’t traveling like that. So imagine someone in Vallejo, a place with a namesake, where you got 40, Mac Dre, all them. Same with SF, Richmond, Oakland. People who grew up out there don’t always have business going down to San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of it ties into the music, too. Folks show love to other places because they got Dru Down, San Quinn, Rappin 4-Tay, JT the Bigga, Too $hort. All them held it down for their cities hella hard. San Jose doesn’t have that [name recognition in rap]. But what people don’t understand is that Shark City is the source of some of the most influential and historic Bay Area songs ever made, by none other than The Slapp Addict himself. Rest in peace to the good brother, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13907735/remembering-traxamillion-whose-beats-defined-the-bay-area-sound\">Traxamillion\u003c/a>.

Then they get older, their businesses get older, and maybe their kids don’t want to run a family business or do their own thing. They’re not as connected to the homeland as their parents are, and things start to fade, assimilate, move on. It’s natural for the ebb and flow of any diaspora.

When scooped on top of an order of cabbage rice, it smacks harder than just about any dish I’ve ever had. You can pair that with koofteh Tabrizi, a delectable meatball bigger — and meatier — than my balled up fist. The saffron and cinnamon mingle with fresh herbs, onions and prunes, while a massive walnut stuffed at its core awaits. Unlike the average American meatball, which usually functions as a sidekick to pasta, the Iranian koofteh is a meal unto itself. Served in its own juices, it needn’t be accompanied by much more than your appetite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you’ll want to add more anyway: ghormeh sabzi (a zesty, lemony stew of kidney beans and tender beef), kalam polo (rice and cabbage fried to a golden, auburn hue), tabouli salad, tahdig (crisp, pan-burnt rice), and the showstopping varieties of kebab plated in a to-go box with a generous side of traditional Persian lavash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These items won’t just fill an empty stomach. They’ll bring you closer to enlightenment, reminding you of all things good and holy about our corporeal existence. In that sense, Rose Market is about timelessness, and perhaps that’s why it has lasted for nearly 40 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965494\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965494\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pistachios are a favorite at Rose International Market.

He sees the art and culinary scene in Tehran as eclectic, worldly, experimental — on par with other major cities in the world. In Northern Iran, known for its food and especially sour flavor profiles, Gorjestani experienced things he didn’t even know existed like “Chanar,” distinctly regional dessert shops focused on creating pomegranate-only concoctions of shaved ice, slushies and regional lavashak (“fruit roll-ups”) that he’s never seen.

They had this energy to create something for the diaspora here and for themselves to deal with being homesick. Then they get older, their businesses get older, and maybe their kids don’t want to run a family business or do their own thing. They’re not as connected to the homeland as their parents are, and things start to fade, assimilate, move on. It’s natural for the ebb and flow of any diaspora. But I’m so grateful for places like Rose Market who kept us connected to our Vatan [motherland]. ”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dinner at Rose Market might begin with fesenjan, a sweet pomegranate stew bathing thick, uneven chunks of chicken and mixed with ground walnut. When scooped on top of an order of cabbage rice, it smacks harder than just about any dish I’ve ever had. You can pair that with koofteh Tabrizi, a delectable meatball bigger — and meatier — than my balled up fist. The saffron and cinnamon mingle with fresh herbs, onions and prunes, while a massive walnut stuffed at its core awaits. Unlike the average American meatball, which usually functions as a sidekick to pasta, the Iranian koofteh is a meal unto itself. Served in its own juices, it needn’t be accompanied by much more than your appetite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you’ll want to add more anyway: ghormeh sabzi (a zesty, lemony stew of kidney beans and tender beef), kalam polo (rice and cabbage fried to a golden, auburn hue), tabouli salad, tahdig (crisp, pan-burnt rice), and the showstopping varieties of kebab plated in a to-go box with a generous side of traditional Persian lavash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These items won’t just fill an empty stomach. They’ll bring you closer to enlightenment, reminding you of all things good and holy about our corporeal existence. In that sense, Rose Market is about timelessness, and perhaps that’s why it has lasted for nearly 40 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965494\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965494\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/20240923_IranianMarket_GC-25-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pistachios are a favorite at Rose International Market.

But in San Jose, particularly throughout the massive East Side, colors mattered. “If you ain’t bangin’, you ain’t hangin’” was the saying back then, says Fresco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had to survive in East Side culture, which is gang culture,” says Justin Engel, from the back seat of the car. “It’s only so many times you’re gonna get punked on the 71 [bus] before you clique up. And then you have to protect your section.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “protection” wasn’t just from people in their own area. It also came from people in neighboring turfs — most notably East Palo Alto, which was dubbed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11610493/murder-rate-in-east-palo-alto-so-far-this-year-zero\">the “murder capital” of the United States in 1992\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People think San Jose is a suburb,” says Laze from the back seat, adding the nickname of “Scrill-a-con Valley.” He theorizes that’s why some violent conflicts and robberies that happen in the community don’t hit the news: “They want to protect the tech companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just the tech companies, but the entire San Jose brand — and the investment in major construction projects and sprawling new neighborhoods instead of the neglected East Side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965430\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13965430 size-medium\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38%E2%80%AFAM-800x959.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38 AM-800x959.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38 AM-1020x1223.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38 AM-160x192.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38 AM-768x921.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38 AM-1281x1536.png 1281w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-17-at-7.14.38 AM.png 1416w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A makeshift street sign inside San Jose Blue Jeans displays prominent intersections and neighborhoods from San Jose’s unseen sides. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Just outside the north side of the city is Levi’s Stadium, home to the 49ers, and the upcoming 2026 Super Bowl – its second Super Bowl since it opened 10 years ago.

Before going into the shop to get a quick lineup, Stretch lists all the hurdles he faces as an artist — and as a working adult — trying to stay above water in San Jose. “You need a job to fund the art, and to live,” he says. He uses his fingers to count on the steering wheel: “The cameraman, the producer, the studio time, all that shit costs. It takes a lot financially and mentally.

He uses his fingers to count on the steering wheel: “The cameraman, the producer, the studio time, all that shit costs. It takes a lot financially and mentally. It’s draining.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965427\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1616px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965427\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1616\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905.jpg 1616w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSC08905-1536x1027.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1616px) 100vw, 1616px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">ProTribe Stretch sitting in the chair at Pro Styles Barbershop in San Jose. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On top of the cost of living, it’s hard for a rapper to get a foothold out of the shark tank.

We’re an actual team now, but I started off doing pop-up events, table events, just selling vintage jewelry. That was back in 2012 when vintage wasn’t a major thing like it is today. I remember getting comments from people freaking out that everything [we sold] was used and worn. But now we’re a shop in Japantown, and we’ve been here for seven years. Everything blossomed from selling vintage clothing to handmade goods and art, to brand new stuff. It’s just a collection of everything I think is dope. And I’m honored to have a great team, girls who are a lot younger and know all the trends and cool things happening. They recommend what we should have, and then we get it.

I attended the San Francisco Art Institute for graphic design. Over there, people talk down on [Silicon Valley], like our fashion is lame, or whatever. During that period, there wasn’t social media quite yet, so people [outside of San Francisco] didn’t always get the same recognition. But because of social media nowadays, you can really be anywhere and be the dopest kid. It doesn’t matter where you’re from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I moved back to San Jose after graduating. I became a graphic designer for a while, freelancing and doing commercial real estate. It was boring and terrible, but it paid the bills. Actually, I would never change it for anything, because what I learned professionally, I apply it to Classic Loot to this day. But I didn’t like to work for “the man.” So I went to a garage sale and started buying stuff and selling it on Instagram. I quit the day job I had and moved into my mom’s house and started hustling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>There’s a popular opinion that Silicon Valley is fashion-less.

But we have the coolest kids who come here and we get to see how they express their fashion sense. Because of the markets and events we go to, we get to see that type of crowd all over this area. The scene is small and niche, but once you’re tapped in, you really appreciate everyone’s way of expressing themselves differently through clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The girls who work [at Classic Loot], they’re really an inspiration for me and the customers.

It’s not just thrifting, we deal with artists, too. I was in their shoes at one point, making stuff to sell at other stores. Starting off on eBay or Etsy, you sometimes just end up with 5 cents after paying all the fees. I wish I had a mentor back then. So we want to provide that opportunity, and to help newcomers with the process. A lot of artisans are great but don’t necessarily know the business side of things. Price points, materials, marketing.

We’re an actual team now, but I started off doing pop-up events, table events, just selling vintage jewelry. That was back in 2012 when vintage wasn’t a major thing like it is today. I remember getting comments from people freaking out that everything [we sold] was used and worn. But now we’re a shop in Japantown, and we’ve been here for seven years. Everything blossomed from selling vintage clothing to handmade goods and art, to brand new stuff. It’s just a collection of everything I think is dope.

Where do you feel most rooted, especially in terms of fashion?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I definitely spend more of my time in San Jose, but most of my adult life has also been inspired by San Francisco. I attended the San Francisco Art Institute for graphic design. Over there, people talk down on [Silicon Valley], like our fashion is lame, or whatever. During that period, there wasn’t social media quite yet, so people [outside of San Francisco] didn’t always get the same recognition. But because of social media nowadays, you can really be anywhere and be the dopest kid. It doesn’t matter where you’re from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I moved back to San Jose after graduating. I became a graphic designer for a while, freelancing and doing commercial real estate. It was boring and terrible, but it paid the bills. Actually, I would never change it for anything, because what I learned professionally, I apply it to Classic Loot to this day. But I didn’t like to work for “the man.” So I went to a garage sale and started buying stuff and selling it on Instagram. I quit the day job I had and moved into my mom’s house and started hustling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>There’s a popular opinion that Silicon Valley is fashion-less.

It shoots right through the heart of EPA, passing by an Amazon office complex, Silicon Valley’s only IKEA, and a ritzy Hilton Four Seasons hotel. But that’s not the EPA I remember. You’d never know that there used to be hella corner stores, family-owned shops, and a downtown community hub. Much of that local identity was replaced to cater to Silicon Valley’s corporate image.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating high school, I attended Bowdoin College, a small liberal arts school in Maine. Whenever I’d tell my peers where I was from, they’d often fixate on the perception of tech companies founded in garages, or of Stanford and James Franco. That’s not the case for us. EPA breeds our own kind of history and innovation. If Palo Alto represents the Bay Area as Silicon Valley in its most suburbanized affluence, then East Palo Alto is an extension of the Yay Area’s rugged shortcomings, operating in the shadows of tech’s unreachable power. That contradiction is what makes EPA special, and arms us with an unbreakable resilience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965338\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965338\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An abuelita tenderly waters her garden in The Mid.

This stripped down bike felt like a symbol of what — and who — gets left behind around here. \u003ccite>(Darius Riley/HOUR VOYSES)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13964464\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13964464\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"a Latino family stands outside of their home with a dog in East Palo Alto\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/G3012546-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While riding through The Mid on my skateboard, I always pass by a lot of dogs and families.

It shoots right through the heart of EPA, passing by an Amazon office complex, Silicon Valley’s only IKEA, and a ritzy Hilton Four Seasons hotel. But that’s not the EPA I remember. You’d never know that there used to be hella corner stores, family-owned shops, and a downtown community hub. Much of that local identity was replaced to cater to Silicon Valley’s corporate image.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After graduating high school, I attended Bowdoin College, a small liberal arts school in Maine. Whenever I’d tell my peers where I was from, they’d often fixate on the perception of tech companies founded in garages, or of Stanford and James Franco. That’s not the case for us. EPA breeds our own kind of history and innovation. If Palo Alto represents the Bay Area as Silicon Valley in its most suburbanized affluence, then East Palo Alto is an extension of the Yay Area’s rugged shortcomings, operating in the shadows of tech’s unreachable power. That contradiction is what makes EPA special, and arms us with an unbreakable resilience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13965338\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13965338\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/DSCF8185-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An abuelita tenderly waters her garden in The Mid.

By all accounts — from stories I’ve heard and photos I’ve unearthed — he was a marijuana-loving, laissez-faire artist who rocked a Mexican afro and wore a leather vest. A man who’d wandered off from a family of 12 siblings in Veracruz to chase something — anything — somewhere else. He’d never used or seen a computer before. In a recent conversation, when I asked what his plan had been upon reaching California, he told me he didn’t have one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That all changed in Silicon Valley. Due to the fateful intersection of time, place and skills, my dad landed a gig in the early tech workforce as someone who could sketch detailed computer parts by hand. (He worked for a company that no longer exists, inside a building that has since been converted into Facebook’s headquarters). Back then, computer parts were drafted by pencil as illustrations. If there’s one thing my dad could do, it was drawing. Nearly four decades later, he does similar work, though he uses a computer now. It pays the bills, he enjoys it, and he never complains. I admire him for being able to plug into the system and reap the rewards of his immigrant scrappiness. By those metrics, he crushed it in life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plus, his life in tech has provided me and my older brother with invaluable tools. I remember when my dad got a computer at our first apartment, back in the days of floppy discs and MS-DOS in the mid-’90s. At the time, I thought it was part of normal childhood. Looking back, it’s clear I grew up with immediate access to technologies that my peers would later come to depend upon and even worship. It was a perk of being inside Silicon Valley, if only on the cultural fringes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Try to imagine an unqualified Mexican immigrant waltzing into Silicon Valley for a lifelong career in tech these days.

By all accounts — from stories I’ve heard and photos I’ve unearthed — he was a marijuana-loving, laissez-faire artist who rocked a Mexican afro and wore a leather vest. A man who’d wandered off from a family of 12 siblings in Veracruz to chase something — anything — somewhere else. He’d never used or seen a computer before. In a recent conversation, when I asked what his plan had been upon reaching California, he told me he didn’t have one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That all changed in Silicon Valley. Due to the fateful intersection of time, place and skills, my dad landed a gig in the early tech workforce as someone who could sketch detailed computer parts by hand. (He worked for a company that no longer exists, inside a building that has since been converted into Facebook’s headquarters). Back then, computer parts were drafted by pencil as illustrations. If there’s one thing my dad could do, it was drawing. Nearly four decades later, he does similar work, though he uses a computer now. It pays the bills, he enjoys it, and he never complains. I admire him for being able to plug into the system and reap the rewards of his immigrant scrappiness. By those metrics, he crushed it in life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plus, his life in tech has provided me and my older brother with invaluable tools. I remember when my dad got a computer at our first apartment, back in the days of floppy discs and MS-DOS in the mid-’90s. At the time, I thought it was part of normal childhood. Looking back, it’s clear I grew up with immediate access to technologies that my peers would later come to depend upon and even worship. It was a perk of being inside Silicon Valley, if only on the cultural fringes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Try to imagine an unqualified Mexican immigrant waltzing into Silicon Valley for a lifelong career in tech these days.
