Episode Synopsis
Description:In this pilot episode of Empathy & Success: Stories, we feature Orlando Carreón—a first-generation Mexican American scholar, educator, and poet whose work bridges education, identity, and resistance. From teaching middle school in Napa Valley to earning a Ph.D. from UC Davis and becoming an Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership at Sonoma State University, Orlando has spent over 15 years challenging exclusionary systems and uplifting marginalized voices. His leadership in bilingual education, district inclusivity, and the Acosta Educational Partnership exemplifies how culturally sustaining practices and community-rooted advocacy can redefine success for immigrant and Latinx students. Join us as we celebrate the voices that inspire, challenge, and connect us
