For forty-two years I have been in education. My area of expertise is instruction and curriculum for children in poverty. I have founded Herencia because for decades there has not been an educational approach to release children and families from the generational trauma of poverty. The core values brought by the Virgin of Guadalupe to the downtrodden indigenous of Mexico in 1531 can bring the needed hope. It is my dream that those values of dignity, mercy, justice, and inclusion can unite all those of the same kindred spirit to step up and make vital changes to education for the future of all the children being lost to poverty.
