Introvert Turned International Speaker

I do not strive to be a keynote speaker. I strive to speak from my heart. Each of us has our own story. Our struggles. Our victories. Our purpose. My purpose is to serve, encourage, and empower others. Ideals that have been passed on from generation to generation, redefined by my experiences, and cemented in my heart from the joy of triumphing over adversity.

Contributing Author

Oscar is a former English Language Learner (ELL) student turned contributing author to “Hispanic Stars Rising Volume II: The New Face of Power”, where his story, I AM A MINORITY, highlights the importance of embracing the struggle, valuing our identity, and the power of vulnerability.

Oscar and Angelica's take on telling your story as a BIPOC professional is refreshing and reassuring. Often students may feel that they have to lose their identity or culture to acclimate or "fit in" in the workplace, but Oscar and Angelica help students navigate the road to self-discovery and give them tips to finding their own voice and USING IT! I will continue to work with them and partner on other projects as I know that our students are benefitting greatly from their sessions!

Jennifer Merchant Director, Educational Programs and Partnerships, Guided Pathways at Fullerton College

Oscar helped our team at Pueblo Community College take our career development skills to the next level! We are more equipped to serve Latinx and first generation students in helping them accomplish their academic and career goals. He brings such a unique perspective to career development that is impactful and practical. I look forward to continue working with Oscar.

RaeAnn Gutierrez Higher Education Change Agent

Oscar and his team were asked to host professional development for our faculty at the start of the school year. Their positive attitude, ability to make everyone feel included in the conversation and their delivery of possibly the most difficult topic in a multicultural setting was outstanding. This dynamic organization is making waves and we are happy to not only be a part of it but also to support their work and recommend to anyone who is looking for that new spark within their team! Parabéns meu irmão!
