He continued his education at Seattle Central College and completed an ESL program, GED, and an associate degree in Global Studies. His struggles escalated because he did not have a social security number, which resulted in poorly paid jobs and homelessness. Due to this and lack of opportunity, Nahum immigrated to the US in search of a better life at the age of 19. He was thrown out of the house, which only magnified his fear and insecurity. Since childhood, he faced bulling, discrimination, and rejection due to his sexual orientation. Nahum Yanez was born in Mexico to a family with ten siblings. After Princeton, John intends to go to law school with dreams of eventually becoming a public servant and representing his respective communities. In the fall of 2021, he will begin studying at Princeton University, where he plans to major in Public Policy. John leads by example and he will continue to empower those around him wherever he goes. From 2019 to 2021, he worked with the National Hispanic Institute to educate the next generation of Latinx leaders as a Head Coach. During his time at Yes Prep Southeast, John took up leadership positions in the school’s dance and ambassador programs, striving to represent his school and make it a more inclusive and artistic place. He wondered, how was he supposed to thrive in a country where leadership opportunities did not seem to exist for people with his identity? He decided to become the representation he wanted to see in the world. However, as he learned more about his identity as a gay Latinx man, he realized that there was not much representation of Hispanic and LGBTQ+ leaders. Being the son of Mexican immigrants, he has always been motivated to do the right thing by his parents’ sacrifices and take advantage of every opportunity available to him. John Venegas Juarez was born and raised in Pasadena, Texas, a predominantly Hispanic city in the Greater Houston area.
