Alexander Youth Network’s Post

🌟 It's Hispanic Heritage Month: Sept 15 - Oct 15 🌟 At Alexander Youth Network, we take pride in celebrating the cultures, voices, and stories that shape our community. Today, we honor Sandy Pizarro, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, MBA, our Chief People & Culture Officer, for her reflections during Hispanic Heritage Month. ✨ A guiding quote Sandy lives by: “Preservation of one’s own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.” – Cesar Chavez ✨ What Hispanic Heritage Month means to her: “In keeping with my favorite quote above, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time for reflection, not only for reflecting on the pride instilled in me about my culture since childhood, but also reflection on current societal events that remind us of the importance of valuing and respecting all cultures and communities.” – Sandy Pizarro For Sandy, this month is both personal and purposeful. It is a reminder of the strength she draws from her heritage and the responsibility to ensure others feel seen, valued, and respected for who they are. As a leader, she carries that belief into every aspect of her work, creating spaces where differences are celebrated and diversity becomes a source of connection. Thank you, Sandy, for sharing your journey and for your unwavering commitment to uplifting our staff, children, and families. Your leadership embodies the true spirit of inclusion and compassion. #HispanicHeritageMonth #AlexanderYouthNetwork #Inclusion #Culture #Leadership
