Join UCLA Alumni Diversity Programs & Initiatives (DPI) and the UCLA Latino Alumni Association (ULAA) for an intimate book talk event with Bruin author Mike de la Rocha ’00 at Tepito Coffee in Pasadena. De la Rocha is the co-founder of Revolve Impact, an award-winning creative agency merging art and activism, and Tepito Coffee, a social enterprise creating jobs for formerly incarcerated individuals in partnership with Homeboy Industries. Named one of GOOD Magazine’s top 100 people changing the world and recognized as a pioneering innovator by Stanford Social Innovation Review, Mike’s USA Today Bestselling memoir, Sacred Lessons: Teaching My Father How To Love (Regalo Press / Simon & Schuster), is a powerful reflection on masculinity, generational healing, and the courage it takes to transform. Come and enjoy a facilitated conversation and Q&A session with de la Rocha and build community with other Bruins over refreshments provided by Homegirl Café.
