“As poverty and violence worsened in Honduras, Darwin Murillo escaped the country with his older brother 16 years ago to join their mother in the United States. Now an undergraduate student at George Mason University in Virginia, Darwin has received DACA status and is working towards becoming an immigration attorney. SRL Homegrown Fellows interviewed Darwin and his mother, Yunia Rivera, on the challenges and opportunities they’ve encountered in the United States.

This year, we worked with six fellows to produce a broadcast story of their choice.”
