"Well, there they are, and they are nothing more than balls. They are people. We are people and we do not need to understand them, but only recognize them," Gerardo Herrera told me when I asked him how we should think about people from different cultures.
Gerardo Herrera comes from Mico, the state of Mico, to be precise, where he earned a bachelor's degree in communication and pedagogy. His main job is as a supermarket manager here in Redwood City, but in his spare time he works as a journalist. Before coming to the United States in 2015, he worked as a reporter and photographer in Mico.
