"My second semester I took Scriptures 1 with Dr. Ngan. One of our assigned readings was Daisy L. Machado's ‘The Unnamed Woman: Justice, Feminists, and the Undocumented Woman.’ When I read this article I began to cry. I kid you not, I was literally crying as I was reading! This specific moment in my time at Truett embodies what Truett means to me because Truett gave me hope for the future. That article was not only the first Hispanic theologian article I had read, it was the first time I had ever heard from a Latina theologian. In all honesty, I didn't even know Latino, none the less, Latina theologians existed. I was crying because in that moment Truett gave me hope. I realized that I could be Daisy L. Machado. I could, can and will be a Latina theologian. How exciting is that?! I thank Truett for the support and aid they have given me as not only a woman but as a minority." #BearsofTruett with Nataly Mora​
