Bilingual Author and Trauma-informed Speaker

Lili Velo

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.

Testimonials

Lili has successfully developed teachers, families, and leaders in education.

"As a result of the trauma-infomred training our educators received, we were not only able to build our students' resiliency, but also empower our educators to create their own in-house Child Protection Policy to protect their rights."

- Carolyne Owala

Founder of Kenya Big Picture Learning

“This is what I was missing! This was the key to understanding why my son was not academically succeeding! I feel like I can breathe. Thank you.”


- Mr. Leon

Father of a High School Student

“...I am just amazed with everything you have shared with all the parents of HUSD. I am so grateful I am learning so much about anxiety and depression. You are making a difference in the lives of so many of us. We are so fortunate to have you because we are not only helping ourselves but our children as well. You truly are making a change...”
