Support Newcomers in their Educational Journey

Help me give my students items they need to ease motherhood. To celebrate their multiple identities and remove the stigma of shame of being a teen mom. We support them by providing food and diapers.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Each year my students write a version of Joseph Campbell's Hero Journey. We refer to it as the Shero Journey. They tell the story of becoming a mother. Crossing the threshold from maiden to mother. Each story is unique, but they share one commonality. Shame and poverty. The shame they feel around becoming a teen mom, the shame they feel they brought their families, and overall societal shame around becoming pregnant compounded by the difficulties of being newcomer and the struggles of poverty.

Lift the burden of shame and help us celebrate their resilience.

We celebrate their motherhood, we value their motherhood, and we embrace who they are today.Help us provide the items they need and remove some of the weight of poverty. Diapers, backpacks, snacks for the classroom helps encourage my students to continue.

We want to uplift our students and continue to encourage them to keep going. We want them to finish high school and move into the next stage of their growth. We want to celebrate who they are today. Meet them where they are, and find ways to instill hope to have them continue their journey.
