Public Speaking
I love sharing my work with others! It's typically a family ordeal, sharing and talking about what is important to us as a family, as artists and as community members. We share about building deliberate communities through art and music and the important role staying connected to history and culture plays in living meaningful lives. I've shared my work professionally for several years, working independently and through Humanities Washington across Washington State.

Here are just a few of the comments I've received about my work:
"I loved how the program brought together music and community and kids!"
"A great experience to value parents, and she will be an example to her children, too. Well done."
"I'm grateful for this program, one with themes that teach our kids about their roots."
She was such a warm and engaging public speaker!
“The music and dance were highly engaging, particularly when rhythm instruments were passed out to the audience members. There were some very strong points on community, dialogue, and acceptance of self and others.”
"A really important presentation- showing the importance of a unique Hispanic tradition for building community."
"This is one of the most thoughtful, brilliant, holistic presentations I have ever attended-anywhere!"
"Excellent and engaging presentation. Yesenia conveys warmth, knowledge and confidence."
“The history of the dance combined with the examples of music, the linguistic components and the very warm and inviting participatory presentation made this experience a sparkling memory!”
I am available for speaking to your organization and group, no matter how big or small. I can cater a presentation to intergeneration audiences and can present in both or either English and Spanish. Contact me for more details and a fee schedule.
