Exploring social issues through individual experiences
Sonia Nazario won a Pulitzer Prize for the feature that became Enrique’s Journey, the story of a Honduran boy searching for his mother in the U.S. Her book has become a popular choice for book groups and civic discussions. Nazario recently published a young adult version to include a younger audience in the national conversation about immigration.
Nazario is a projects reporter for the Los Angeles Times, specializing in social issues like hunger, drug addiction and immigration. She also serves as an advocate for unaccompanied immigrant children and Latino college students.
