Yota, a 20-year-old student at UC Berkeley, is an intern with the MCC on campus. “Honestly, I just like to play with dirt. I like sand. I like just being in community with other people who actually know how to do stuff like this. I think Im just happy to be in a space where its so community-centered. And its also just recognizing that were all part of this larger ecosystem,” Yota said. (Amaya Edwards / Xpress Magazine)
