Founder/ President
RAFAEL M. TORRES
Founders
In one capacity or another, Rafael and I have always been engaged in our respective communities.
We realized that we encountered similar situations when trying to help someone, or even when we personally needed to access a resource.
Our approach changed from just wanting to lend a helping hand to actively encouraging and reminding people of the potential they already possess.
