Yoo! My name is Adil and my pronouns are he/they. This is my first year at Solano after transferring from South Florida where I was raised most of my life. I was born in my country of Honduras and immigrated to the States at a young age.

Writing is one of my biggest passions, it can be both productive and therapeutic to put feelings into words. One of my earliest memories was winning a poetry contest in 5th grade and having my work featured on the school news. From that point on, I fell in love with articulating thoughts and emotions into carefully crafted words to evoke a reaction from an audience.

Over the past two years, I’ve been really inspired by the journalists on the ground covering the war on Gaza. People like Bisan, Motaz and Plestia made a huge impact in my life and made me realize how many voices still deserve to be amplified.

Apart from writing, I’m addicted to my Spotify account and listen to music every chance I get. Discovering up and coming artists, deepdiving into a group’s discography, finding new sounds, copping more vinyl, all mean alot to me. I’m also a huge Barcelona fan, I fell in love with the team during the Ronaldinho era and been following them ever since.

I’m grateful that the Journalism program has been revived to help students pursue their writing. I’m excited to join the Solano Pulse team and hope I can contribute to the great work they’ve been doing.
