Paulina Olvera Cáñez is the director and one of the founders of Espacio Migrante, a migrant shelter and nonprofit in Tijuana.
Cáñez is also working on getting her master's degree in Latin American Studies at UC San Diego.
In a new episode of KPBS’ border podcast “Port of Entry," Cáñez talks about her life on both sides of the border and how and why she’s helping bring the Black Lives Matter movement to Tijuana.
Her story kicks off the first episode in “Border Voices,” a new series of shorter episodes spotlighting people who identify as transborder, fronterizx or simply have an interesting relationship with the U.S.-Mexico border. “Port of Entry” will be back with a new season of cross-border love stories soon.
