I am co-director of Afra and a founding member along with Concha Álvarez.
I feel happy to have been able to create a space where people can grow and develop with security and confidence. It's satisfying to see how what helped me know myself, grow, and gain greater confidence in my own abilities is also helping others have the same experience, to feel like they're capable of facing their lives with greater confidence and a kinder outlook on themselves. This is what I call "making friends with yourself" and becoming your own unconditional support.
I believe that social change is possible through people who know and treat each other better. When we feel better, we want those around us to feel better too. It's this idea that primarily motivates me to work in this profession, a way to do my part by trying to improve my environment.
