Mariel Reyes-Galvez

My Name is Mariel Reyes-Galvez. I am a passionate disruptor of the status quo, the work I do within and outside of YEBO strives to decolonize the Eurocentric patterns that we have learned through an education system that consistently erases our identities. I inspire youth to raise their voices and use their power against a system that belittles and overlooks their talents. I am a peoples’ person; like my ancestors, I work through song, art, and play. I believe in my generation, and although I battle with unlearning the toxic cycles we have gotten stuck in as a society, I am determined to create a better tomorrow.
