SPEAKING TOPICS:
“In my 25 years, this is the best program I have ever seen.”Seton Hall University
“When Julia opened our organization's largest event of the year, she proved to be much more than a speaker. She lit up the room as well as our imaginations. When she agreed to perform at our event, she spent a lot of time getting to know our organization and work that we do. And it showed in the authenticity and passion that came through. Julia's talent, dedication, presence, and delivery undoubtedly elevated the experience for all of us.”Steven Erickson, Teach for America
“We’ve had a terrific response from the students already. Our students and staff were completely engaged with her story and presentation.”Caitlin Eby, Mount St. Mary College
“Today at work, our curriculum team created a list of 10 people that our students should be studying, focusing on strong character and overcoming obstacles. They chose Jackie Robinson and a variety of other famous people. The third name on the list was Dr. Julia Garcia. Need I say more?”Amy Perhamus, Principal
