My feelings about the role Hispanic women play today in society

  • As a Hispanic woman I feel compelled to make my mark on the future of my children, grandchildren and offspring, I feel a mission in my heart to continue my legacy and to be able to continue educating society on the subject of disability, lack of sensitivity are issues that ennoble my heart.

“Without education, sensitivity to disability will remain a disability itself “
