Sonia Nazario is an award-winning journalist best known for Enrique's Journey, her story of a Honduran boy's struggle to find his mother in the U.S. Published as a series in the Los Angeles Times, Enrique's Journey won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 2003 and is now available in an edition for young adults and in multiple languages.
When a national crisis erupted in 2014 over the detention of unaccompanied immigrant children at the border, Nazario returned to Honduras to report an article that was published in The New York Times in July. In her piece, she detailed the violence causing the exodus and argued that it is a refugee crisis, not an immigration crisis. After the article was published, she addressed the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and gave many interviews to national media, including The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, NBC's Meet the Press, Anderson Cooper 360, and Al Punto with Jorge Ramos (Spanish).
In this interview with Colorín Colorado, Sonia describes how she met Enrique and why she decided to retrace his journey despite dangerous and difficult conditions. She also offers tips for schools serving unaccompanied children and youth who have traveled north from Central America in recent years.
