    Crossing Borders and Building Bridges with Freedom Writer Brenda
    Jul 23 2025
    In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Erin Gruwell sits down with Original Freedom Writer Brenda Zambrano to explore a story of survival, generational healing, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children. Brenda bravely recounts her journey as an undocumented child crossing the border from Mexico, navigating life in a new country with fear, silence, and a sign around her neck because she couldn’t speak English. From nights spent sleeping on park benches to finding her voice in the classroom, Brenda shares how education, motherhood, and forgiveness helped her break free from the trauma of her past. Now a proud parent of two thriving students—one of whom is a Freedom Writers Scholar—Brenda reflects on her path to healing, honoring her late mother, and creating the kind of home she never had. This episode is a tribute to resilience, compassion, and the quiet strength of a woman who turned pain into purpose.
