Bowling Green, Kentucky video of the six high school students (Thalia Dominguez, Lucia Green, Ana Mendoza, Martha Morales, Rosa Paz, and Teresa Santos) who traveled to Bowling Green, Kentucky in mid-September to be the keynote presenters at Kentucky's State Migrant Conference. The six girls shared their personal stories with hundreds of conference attendees, then facilitated smaller breakout sessions focused on the healing power of personal stories. This all-expenses-paid speaking engagement was a product of the student's work on the book, DreamFields, published last year.
