About this listen
In this episode, host Sophia Layne joins Kique Bazán at the Saturday morning food distribution event of the local nonprofit Ayudando Latinos a Soñar (ALAS) in Half Moon Bay. Kique shares his journey from Peru to California’s San Mateo County Coastside, the formative experiences that inspired his lifelong commitment to education and human rights, and the powerful role of human connection in creating true belonging.
As they walk through the food pantry, Kique shares stories from his mother’s courageous work sheltering homeless children in Peru, the solidarity that ended systemic violence there, and how his work with ALAS continues that legacy locally – creating spaces where people don’t just receive help, but help shape the solutions. From forging partnerships with organizations like Second Harvest to training migrant families as cultural tour guides, Kique shows how collaboration, creativity, and a shared rhythm can transform a community.
Whether you want to get involved, learn more about Kique’s work, or simply be inspired by the idea that walking together can change lives, this conversation will leave you hopeful—and ready to take that next (or first!) step towards community.
