Legacy is a thread of possibility we weave for future generations.
We carry the stories, wisdom, cultura, and dreams of those who came before us. Their courage shaped what became possible for us. Now, it’s our turn to add our thread, our dreams.

"When Elaine and I started LatinxEd, we believed in the power of education to change what is possible for our communities. We also knew that talent and ambition have never been the problem. It’s been access to opportunity. We wanted to create more pathways for people in our community to learn, lead, and build the future they envision for themselves and their families. I’m proud of what we’ve built together, but most of all, I’m grateful that this work continues to create opportunities for people across our community to thrive."
“LatinxEd has been the doorway to professional and social pathways in my community. It was through LatinxEd that I met student and professional leaders who looked like me, and allied statewide leaders like former Governor Roy Cooper. I hope LatinxEd continues raising our community to the highest standard, as they have for my cohort and me.”
“LatinxEd made it possible for me to see my story differently; not as a barrier, but as a source of power, purpose, and possibility for others. It has strengthened my voice to challenge barriers and create pathways to opportunity. I hope the next generation continues that work of opening doors, dismantling barriers, and knowing - We Belong: Our story is powerful, Our voice matters, and Our future is possible.”
“De antemano agradezco la oportunidad que les brinda a nuestros estudiantes de participar en este tipo de programas que en un futuro los beneficiarán. Mi esperanza es que todos nuestros hijos tengan la oportunidad de sobresalir en lo que a ellos les guste y que sean el futuro para este país y la comunidad.”
“As a first-gen Latina and the eldest daughter, I’m part of a legado built on resilience and dreams for a better future. The legado I’m helping create at LatinxEd is one where the doors I helped open for my siblings and family lineage become doors I can hold open for the generations and communities across North Carolina.”
Bring their voices and leadership into classrooms, communities, institutions, and decision-making spaces across North Carolina.
