This is the pure essence of 'don't judge a book by its cover'. The pages in this dudes story runs deep and his ability to communicate his experiences are well beyond what most humans can verbally contextualize. I don't have any tattoos, but I'm now a fan!

This young man is articulate and very well spoken. I could not stop listening to him tell his story. Also in my opinion, he told many of our stories , (as far as our culture goes. ) Growing up in the early 60’s , when we entered public school, it always felt like we were expected to make a choice on how to identify ourselves We were only allowed to check one box- I always checked two American and Hispanic😂I have always stood my ground, I was proud to be both. Chuco has a very rare gift - he is an old soul and is very passionate about what he believes in. One thing for sure is he is on a completely different level. I’m definitely sharing this video and buying his book. Thank you for sharing his story- much respect.
