"Somos Escritoras is a culturally sustaining, affirming, and necessary program. Dr. Flores leads an amazing team of mentors, and they all make this world a braver space for the Escritoras. This is life-changing and life-saving work, and we are so thankful that we were able to participate."

"Gracias Dra. Flores por exponer a las jóvenes escritoras a escribir sus historias con su voz y a conocer a otras escritoras como Carmen que hablan y escriben con el corazón en la pluma que queda en el papel."

"There have been so many invaluable gifts Somos Escritoras has given my daughters, but the most important one, to me, has been replacing the shame felt about their culture with gratitude and pride. Somos Escritoras exposed them to art and writing of other Latinas. For my daughters, this was the first time they saw women who looked like them centered for sharing their voices through art and writing. They realized that their culture and experiences were not only unique, but also worth celebrating. Somos gave them the ability to love and embrace their latinidad and use it as another powerful gift to move forward."

"My daughter wrote a persuasive essay
to her principal regarding [period poverty]. It was so insightful. The statistics she found were surprising and so sad to read about.
I’m so proud of her. She participated in your summer program last yr. [Summer 2022]."

"[M]y girl tends to be shy around new people, [...] she would perk up when it was "time for her meeting" even though it may not have come across the screen. Her sessions became a topic of conversation around our dinner table. From my struggles of being an English Language Learner to my parents' hustle to make sure we "made it." This experience was so much more than a camp for our family. We found ourselves reminiscing about my family's experience growing up as a first-generation family to immigrant parents. It also made me beyond proud to share all that my humble parents accomplished for us and through us, and I am forever grateful for that. Then my heart exploded when she decided to
write about it."
