Tell Us Your Good Deed

I help students, families, staff in the organizations, groups I’m part of and my community feel seen, valued and included.

Why are you participating?

Labels prevent people from seeing a multi-racial Puerto Rican person like me as being part of multiple communities.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I smile and say hello to strangers, random people I meet day to day and I have met and heard so many happy, sad, hard, and inspiring stories from complete strangers. I give people an inviting space to share their stories with a smile and a quick "hello".

Why are you participating?

I appreciate and love breaking stereotypes. How I carry myself, how I speak and dress is always meant to challenge societal norms. Being "normal" or "fitting in" is overrated.
