In this episode of Café con Pam, Pam chats with Abigail Vera, a super inspiring 17-year-old from Imperial, California, who turned her struggles with mental health and bullying into something totally unique—a board game all about navigating the ups and downs of high school.
Abigail opens up about what it was like being the eldest daughter in a Mexican American family, why talking about mental health matters (especially in Latino households), and how creating “High School: The Game” has helped her—and others—start real conversations about what teens actually go through.
This episode is all about breaking stigmas, finding confidence, and celebrating creativity in the Latinx community.
