Tonantzin Esparza
Tonantzin Esparza, a Mexican-American community organizer, was so mean to me, like black coffee.
But I didn't know she had been through many past lives.
She is impatient, hot-headed, and outspoken.
The eldest of three siblings, she enjoys boxing and gardening but dislikes bureaucracy.
She has survived a major car accident.

I met them 8 years ago after finding out I’m adopted. They told me they were my foster parents before. It took me a while but I finally accepted it.
