Huge thanks to my supervisors @fernandapirie.bsky.social and Dennis Rodgers, to the amazing Anthropology Editor at NYU Press & to the anonymous reviewers whose feedback helped me reach this stage. Finally, my most profound gratitude goes to the youth who welcomed me into their lives.

Thanks to @oxfordcsls.bsky.social & @gvagrad-ccdp.bsky.social for hosting this research, @udea.bsky.social & @vriunal.bsky.social for welcoming me during critical research periods in Medellín, and to the ESRC and Swiss Confederation for their financial support.
