Concha's early background shaped her career. She immigrated with her family to California from Chihuahua, Mexico when she was seven years old. From them, she learned the love of family, the value of education, and rigorous work.
By living the struggles in her family and the community, she understood the meaning of social justice. Community activism led to her positions as a classroom teacher, school principal, and later an ethnographic researcher. She earned her Ph.D. at Stanford University, focusing on sociopolitical cultural change in underrepresented communities.
Concha lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area with husband, Dudley Thompson, and their four cats.
