Renee Rivera came on the show to talk about growing up with Latinx in the midwest, motherhood, and the reason she became an educator. Renee retells the tragedy that struck her family 15 years ago when her 6-month-old son, Issak, was murdered by her boyfriend.
Our conversation was powerful, and I want to thank Renee for being brave enough to share her story with us. This discussion may be difficult for some to process, and if you think that, imagine what it felt like to live through it. We can learn from Renee's strength and how to find the will to go on even after the unthinkable.
