Estela Fuentes

Community Development Worker/Trainer/Facilitator

In my story, power is not a force that commands, it’s a presence that resonates in the humility of learning, the strength of shared experiences, and the transformative impact of positive connections within and beyond cultural boundaries and life experiences, collective minds, dreams and aspirations. I think of the power of community education and relational learning. The power of diversity.

As someone with a learning barrier, I understand the importance of inclusive education, and it’s my goal to contribute to the development of programs that cater to everyone. Being a community trainer in suicide prevention programs tailored for diverse communities is my passion.
