Bio
My name is Yasmín Parra Codina. I was born and raised in San Antonio and I am excited and honored to be the Community Liaison for the Democratizing Racial Justice Project at UTSA.
I received my double major undergraduate degrees in Mexican American Studies and Anthropology and a Master’s in Bicultural-Bilingual Studies at The University of Texas at San Antonio. I have over 15 years of experience working with multicultural families, collaborating with local government, and community organizations to advocate for social change through education.
I am a proud daughter and granddaughter of migrant farmworkers and generations of educators, with roots from Michigan and the Texas Rio Grande Valley. It is my family’s humble beginnings and dedication to investing their lives’ work through education that moves me to continue to serve my community.
I advocate for amplifying young leaders of color, and centering community input in spaces that foster mentorship, equality, and dismantling unfair social conditions. I look forward to being part of a collaborative project dedicated to a just future that all generations deserve.
