About this audiobook
Judy Baca overcame poverty and discrimination in East Los Angeles to follow her dream of becoming an artist. Inspired by her Mexican heritage, Judy Baca uses art to bring young people together. Her murals appear across the city of Los Angeles, and she continues to work with the community to create art that represents the voices that are heard least in society.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great story! Judy Baca and her work are inspiring. I would have preferred the book was read by a bilingual person who could pronounce the Spanish words and names correctly.
