Edu Cat
I’m an EduCat. When I was a youngster, I became conscious of issues of equity, and the severe lack of diversity in American education.
My family emigrated from Cuba a country that was torn apart by Communism and war caused by government corruption and inequities.
Being Latino and studying English in the American public educational system in different states allowed me to experience how equity impacts students. With our family’s moves, I went from attending a school that was predominantly students of color, to a school with mostly White, to high school which was White.
