Many of our neighbors navigate health, legal, and school systems in a language that is not their own. My work is to turn complicated information into clear options, and to do it with warmth. When people leave our events feeling informed and less afraid, I know we are doing something right.
Maria Camila Vera Cepeda
Health and Economic Development Coordinator
Reunifying families after twenty years apart is hard, detailed work—paperwork, appointments, logistics—but behind every form there is a story of love and survival. Watching parents embrace their children again reminds me why binational organizing matters and why every small step in the process counts.
Maria Elizabeth Medina-Kremer
Co-Executive Director
What moves me about AMEXCAN is how we refuse to choose between roots and future. We honor our traditions, language, and culture while building real pathways to education, health, and civic power. My work is to help families feel that North Carolina is home without ever losing who they are.
Rodrigo Efraín Hernández Hebrard
Binational Director of Communication and Public Relations
When a parent understands their rights at school or a farmworker gets connected to care, that moment changes more than one life. It sends a message that our community matters. I see leadership not as a position, but as the daily practice of standing up for each other.
Rodolfo Martinez Barron
Director of Advocacy & Civic Leadership
Every program we run starts with a simple question: what would make life more dignified for our community right now? From health clinics to voter outreach to binational work in Mexico, my job is to listen, remove barriers, and make sure people feel seen, respected, and accompanied.
Bianca Samantha Perez
Director of Community and Cultural Affairs
