🌟 Presented by Inclusive Excellence (Campus Community Book Project) and City of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs Program

This free, public forum with author Javier Zamora brings us together to discuss belonging in our Davis public education systems and communities.

Panelists will include:

• Javier Zamora, author of Solito: A Memoir
• Kate Snow, Coordinator of School Climate, Director of Anti Bias Education Program, and Director of Native American Education and Title VI Program, Davis Joint Unified School District
• Daniela Telles, Director, UC Davis Undocumented Student Resource Center
• Megan Macklin (moderator), Director of Campus Climate and Inclusion Initiatives, Office of Campus and Community Relations/Inclusive Excellence

Participants will have an opportunity to pick up a special edition YOU BELONG silkscreened print, created by local artist Elyse Doyle-Martinez (weareseeds.co) with support from the City of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs Program and TANA (Taller Arte de Nuevo Amanecer). 

The Campus Community Book Project thanks the City of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs Program and educators and administrators from Davis Joint Unified School District for their partnership in planning this event.

In 2025-2026, the UC Davis Campus Community Book Project will focus on the theme of belonging and will feature Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora. Solito narrates the author’s 3,000-mile journey at the age of nine from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border to reunite with his parents. What was anticipated to take two weeks expands into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.
