Hello again, my name is Sofia Moran and I had the honor of being one of your Co-Chairs this past academic year. When I was thinking about what I wanted to say today, to reflect on what this year has been, I couldn't help but think about what these past 4 years have meant to me. In all honesty, before coming to hermanas, I never could have imagined that I would be standing up here in front of you all like this. From my first meeting in Fall of 2015 to this, one of my last events as an undergraduate, the love and support this space has given me has been constant. Being able to serve as one of your Co-Chairs has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my time here at UCLA, my second will probably be graduating in a few weeks. I can't say that Co-Chair was the easiest and happiest all the time but it was always worth it and I couldn't have done it without my amazing Co. Gaby and I did a lot of stuff this year. From taking 40+ hermanas to big bear for retreat(twice), taking 40 hermanas to San Francisco and back for conference, and even getting this banquet together. There were times where things got really hard, but between me and gaby, things were always handled and I am so thankful to have had her as my Co. Gaby, even though I am hurt that you officially have a new steering and a new role, I am so excited to see what this coming year will bring for you because I know you're going to do great things. However when reminiscing on what this year has meant I have to take a minute to thank our steering. I am very serious when I say that you all have been a dream team, and it is a really beautiful experience to know that you have at least 13 other powerful mujeres that got your back. Getting to watch you all develop into the leaders you are was an honor and I know you're all going to do amazing things from here on out. Our team was so solid this year and it really showed with our involvement this year. This was the first year where we had a waitlist for retreats. Our meetings had consistent and strong turnout all throughout the quarter. Even this banquet is an accomplishment since we have never hosted a banquet of almost 100 people. Being able to see so many new hermanas fall in love with this space the way I did was the most beautiful part. You are all the future of this organization and I know it is in good hands. But we also have to recognize those of us who have done our work here and are soon to leave, class of 2018!! Most of us were in the same rookie class and now that we are finally here at our senior banquet I just feel old but also so proud of how much we have accomplished. I know we all have our post grad plans and life may take us far from Westwood, but just know I will carry you all in my heart no matter where we go. Lastly I need to say something to my parents. I know you both could have never imagined your little Feffie doing the things she does now, but here I am and having you here with my hermanas makes my heart so full. These people, these stories, they are the reason I couldn't come home on certain weekends and had to stay up late on different nights. They made that all worth it because if I could not go back to Long Beach to be with family, I was always surrounded by familia here. With graduation just weeks away, I have to admit that this year, my last year, has been my absolute favorite. So I thank you all for making that possible and for allowing me to serve as your Co-Chair, I wouldn’t have traded this experience for the world. Thank you. The End...During zero week of my first quarter here at UCLA I was roaming around the Chicana Chicano Studies Open House. As I was walking around I saw that one of the tables had Mexican Candy. I made the decision to walk up to that table just to get some candy. Out of courtesy, of coarse, I asked the person there what this was, but to be completely honest with you I paid zero attention to what that person even told me. That was the moment I had my first interaction with an Hermana, and little did I know that this organization would come to define my college experience in the most beautiful, loving, and empowering way possible.
With just having attended a couple of events I quickly began to fall in love with this organization and it became, as I am sure most of you can relate, a home away from home. Hermanas Unidas has and continues to give me the space and support that I need in order to navigate this institution that was not built for working-class, first-generation, Latinas like many of us to excel at. I am beyond grateful for what this org has given me, which is why I strive to give that same thing to others. Serving this year as co-chair has been a huge honor. Although it was very stressful and a lot of work, it was an experience I truly enjoyed. Being a part of steering the past two years has pushed me to become the leader that I am today. Hermanas has empowered me to become a better version of myself. And I wanna give a huge shoutout to My CO Sofia because I think she has pushed me to grow more than anybody else I’ve ever interacted with, I know we had our ups and downs but overall I think we did an outstanding job together, and I’m glad we were able to experience this together. But above all else I am grateful for Hermanas for allowing me to grow so many beautiful relationships with so many badass mujeres. The friendships I have created within this space I know are ones that I will cherish for the rest of my life. To the Class of 2018, I wanna give you a huge congratulations for all the amazing things y’all have accomplished. As some of you may know half of my closest friends are days away from graduating, and that is something that has been making me feel very sad because I know how much I’m gonna miss having y’all here. I am not ready to walk into Monday meeting and not see your beautiful faces there. But at the same time I am very happy and excited to see all the great things that the future has in store for each of you. And leave knowing that I am grateful for all the beautiful moments we were able to spend together. Y’all better come back and visit that’s all I gotta say! And for those of us not graduating just yet, I am very excited to see all the great things that next year has in store for us. Thank you.
