About the Author: JR Holguin

El Paso native Manuel Holguin is passionate about covering important issues affecting marginalized communities, and is dedicated to reporting on the many challenges that immigrants face in Dallas and the United States, including cultural and linguistic diversity in education and healthcare disparities and access to mental healthcare for Latino and Hispanic communities. Holguin recently moved back to DFW and finds it extremely important “to have the opportunity to shed light on important issues and give a voice to those who are often unheard. Seeing the impact that my reporting can have, from raising awareness about injustices to inspiring action and change, is what keeps me going day after day.”
