Lorena Aviles is TED’s Curation Strategist and Special Projects Researcher for Sincerely, X, the podcast. Prior to joining the TED team, she graduated from Harvard with an honors degree in Sociology, a secondary in Ethnicity, Migration and Rights, and a certificate in Latin American Studies. While there, she researched the Mexican-American migrant smuggling system and its policy implications, exploring the ethics of illegal work and its relation to human rights. When she’s not doing research, she can be found dancing, blasting music, or playing competitive UNO! games with her cousins. She dreams of a far more equitable world and hopes to contribute to its realization.

equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Immigrant rights are human rights.
