Connecting Through Our Shared

EXPERIENCES

Readings, Workshops & Events

In public events it is important for me to connect with you and your audience in a way that is meaningful and insightful. My presentations have been described as “timely, relevant, and captivating.”

I have done readings, performed as a storyteller, and led workshops and trainings for private and non-profit organizations across various sectors including Harvard University’s Latina Empowerment (LEAD) Conference, Boston University Center on Forced Displacement, Latinas in Tech, Boston Children’s Hospital Trust, Tech Together, RIA House, Bunker Hill Community College, Boston College, Arlington Author’s Salon, Corporeal KHÔRA Salon, GrubStreet Creative Writing Center, and Boston Bar Association. I have appeared on Stories From The Stage, a nationally televised program produced by WORLD Channel in partnership with GBH and Stellar Story Company, and have been a featured storyteller on the International Institute of New England’s Suitcase Stories, a traveling storytelling program featuring immigrant stories.

Testimonials

Lorena gave a talk at the TechTogether Boston hackathon. The attendees resonated with the talk focused on mindfulness and bringing intentional attention to your body and mind. We all took away great breathing exercises to help us feel strong in the presence of stress and anxiety. Lorena taught us about grit and creating the opportunity for growth within ourselves.

As the Director of Workshops and Speakers for the Harvard Latina Empowerment and Development (LEAD) Conference, I invited Lorena to host a workshop on Resilience Building. This was a wonderful decision — days after the conference, attendees were still talking about how impactful and grounding it was. Even after her session ended, she went out of her way to connect with attendees and the LEAD team. She truly is a wonderful speaker and motivator, it was a pleasure to work with her to arrange this workshop.
