Impact

Proven Results Rooted in Practice

Every aspect of our work is intentionally designed and research-based, centering on an asset-based approach to ensure we meet the particular needs of Latina girls and women and accomplish results.

Sentipensante Connections draws from real-world success, particularly from a creative writing program designed and led by our founder, which became a model for culturally sustaining, arts-based empowerment for Latina students.

In just 12 weeks, participating middle schoolers experienced:

📈47% increase in self-confidence
🗣️84% of students reported improved public speaking skills
🎨58% became more willing to take creative risks, even when it felt challenging or scary

What Students Are Saying

“My confidence has changed dramatically and I think this is because everyone is incredibly nice and supportive. One moment that really stood out to me was when I had to share in front of the group and the “love notes” were passed back to me. This made me feel not so scared and more confident.”
— Mia, program participant

What Parents Are Noticing

“Working directly with a group of amazing Latina artists helped boost my daughter’s confidence. It helped that she was also pushed out of her comfort zone. I was amazed to watch her go up to the podium to recite her My Name [poem], so clear and proud.”
— Parent of participant

These results are not isolated—they reflect what’s possible when students feel seen, supported, and creatively engaged. At Sentipensante Connections, we help schools and colleges replicate this impact through professional development, immersive workshops, and strategic coaching.
