DALLAS -- Erica Flores, 40, used to hate when people asked her where she went to college.
Growing up in south Irving, Flores and her peers didn’t talk much about college. Many of them finished high school and headed straight into the workforce. That’s what Flores did, along with becoming a young mother.
And though she pursued a successful career in economic development, it still nagged at her when someone new would ask, “Where did you go to college?”
