Social justice activist, playwright, performer and lawyer Irma Herrera was the featured performer at the non-profit Tennessee Justice for our Neighbors' (TNJFON) fundraiser Thursday in Nashville. Her performance and interview will also be featured on the organization's Oye Vecino podcast, hosted by TNJFON staff attorney Alvaro Manrique Barrenechea. Since its founding in 2008, TNJFON has assisted thousands of low-income clients in a variety of immigration matters, with a focus on individuals who are eligible for humanitarian forms of relief. Herrera earlier this year performed her one-woman show, "Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?" at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
