Meet the People

Manos Unidas was never meant to be built around one person. It has been built collectively by families, promotoras, staff, community partners, volunteers, interns, and leaders who believe deeply that Latino families raising children with disabilities deserve culturally responsive support and a true sense of belonging.

Today, I want you to meet some of those people: Celeste Marion, Manos Unidas founder and Executive Director, and Catalina Angel, Manos Unidas Board Chair

Why We Serve

In this video, I sat down with our Board Chair, Catalina Angel, to share what inspires our work and why we believe trust, relationships, and community are the foundation for lasting change. Together, we reflect on the families who have shaped us and the responsibility we feel to steward the future of Manos Unidas with humility, accountability, and hope
