Niome was raised in a small, predominantly white, conservative town in Oregon. As the daughter of Mexican immigrant parents, she experienced the political divide firsthand during her senior year of high school in 2016. Niome faced ridicule from her high school classmates for calling out Trump’s racist rhetoric. Further complicating matters, she has family members who are immigrants from Mexico but support Trump’s immigration policies.
