Lisbeth Reyna: A Story of Faith

Lisbeth Reyna, 21, born in the United States and
grew up in San Francisco de Macoris,Dominican Republic.
She returned to New York at the age of 13th,
and struggle with what most immigrant go through:
cultural diffusion/ adaptation and language barriers.

Although a new culture and new friends seem like
an obstacle, she adopted to the new environment and
had faith that things might improve as the years go by.
And faith listened, Lisbeth graduated from high school
at the age of 16, making her one of the youngest
graduate from Walton High School.

What makes Lisbeth an exceptional women, is
not the fact that she overcame her cultural impediments,
but what she is currently doing now.

Ms. Reyna graduated from The City College of New York
this past May with a bachelor in Media and Communication:

Public Relations.She went on to do internships in Public Relations

companies such as IDPR and Footsteps. She helps out with events

such as My Black is Beautiful, which is spreading awareness about

African American beauty and cosmetics.

Nonetheless, Lisbeth's catholic faith brought her closer to
what she believe is every human's right and need.
This is specifically why Lisbeth, wakes up every single Saturday
to teach biligual children from the neighborhood, at a local
church call Saint Angela Merici, the world of wisdom, the word of God.

Lisbeth is always helping out in church, creating new ways to
engage churchgoers to do more for their church. She is always
positively providing a word of counseling to those young minds
that are going through the wrong path, and creating events
that provide teens with insight on how they can obtain and receive
God and Jesus Christ as their savior.

She is truly an inspiration to all of us!
