- Why I’ll Always Honor Teachers
In partnership with
I hold a deep respect for teachers. They shape futures, nurture potential, and carry the weight of guiding the next generation. Their dedication often goes unseen, but the impact of their work lasts a lifetime…for students, families, and communities.
Over the past ten years, I’ve grown into this role myself, evolving into a teacher and mentor thru Social Sofrito project and now thru Siembra Connect. The experience has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
I love being in spaces where I can guide, support, and witness the growth of others. Teaching has become not just my profession, but a calling that continues to inspire and fulfill me every day.
I do this for you.

Pause & Breathe
Square Breathing has been very helpful for me to reset during my day.
Exercise Take 60 seconds to inhale deeply, hold, and exhale slowly. Small resets protect big dreams. Thank you to GrassRootsSSP for this video.
