"It was an incredible day for both the adults and students; truly one of the top educational experiences I have had the pleasure to be a part of. To see our ESL students flourish in such expressive ways was moving, inspiring, and insightful. As an English-only speaker/teacher, I have imagined the difficulties of being an English language learner, but never fully appreciated the struggles and richness of our ESL students' individual experiences; it has allowed me to see me practice, and pedagogy as a whole, in a new light."
-Karen L. Barbosa, Director of ELO, Woonsocket High School, RI
"Never less than fascinating."
-Orange County Weekly
"Thank you Magdalena, for being a lightning bolt of energy in defiance of the dark night."
