Rooted in Representation: María Alonzo’s Fight for DMPS Students

María Alonzo is committed to giving every student a voice. She opens up about her family’s journey from Mexico and how she created a soccer club that brings the community together — a space where the Latinx community speaks soccer, our love language.

With Latinx students now making up 36% of the district, María shares why representation matters and how her experiences shape her vision for inclusive, equitable schools.

This episode is a heartfelt look at leadership, community, and the difference one voice can make — and don’t forget to vote on November 4th!
