The more we show each other respect, the more unity there will be.
Lorena Meza Lara is originally from a small town in Mexico where the culture was rich and the community small but tight. When Meza Lara’s family moved to the U.S, they were split up into different states and lost their sense of unity.
Meza Lara found herself seeking that same unity she had before. She found this through connecting with the local Latinx community at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. No matter which country the church members came from, Meza Lara felt that connection and sense of belonging amongst them.
Hoping to foster that same community for local children, Lorena continues to advocate and participate in efforts that build bridges between different people.
