Lili Velo
Bilingual Author and Trauma-informed Speaker
Lili grew up in a country that was foreign to her parents. She experienced a lot of uncertainty at home, so school became her 'home away from home.' She went on to become a high school teacher and administrator, working with immigrants students for more than 15 years.
