Discovering the power of words

Alejandra Alarcon has been journaling since she was eight years-old.  Amidst experiences of abuse, writing was a constant, keeping her sane when she felt she couldn't communicate with anyone else.  "I know how it feels to be unheard. But when I began to write, I learned I had the power to change this."  She tells her story and describes how the power of words has shaped her identity, on Coachella Unincorporated.
