Meet Ana Victoria Espino, the Latina making history as the first lawyer with Down Syndrome

Several people with Down Syndrome have been achieving milestones for the community over the past years. Among those making Latino history is Mexican Ana Victoria Espino de Santiago, a 25-year-old woman from Zacatecas who reached for the moon and got the stars.

With the support of her parents and her own determination, Espino de Santiago has become one of the few people with Down Syndrome to graduate from college. In her case, it was law school. While some men in the same circumstances have achieved the same milestone, she may be the first female to do so, according to a thorough search by the Latin Times.
