Noemi Vega Quiñones shares several stories of her - and her family's - bravery in this week's episode. From her journey to the United States, to her launch into college life, to her leadership in campus ministry, to her continued pursuit of higher education ... she's daring.
But Noemi also shares honestly about the fears, anxieties, and obstacles she faced. Her story and insights serve as helpful guides as we navigate life in college and campus ministry as Latinos.
Noemi serves as a campus minister with InterVarsity's Latino Fellowship (LaFe). She earned a MTh from Fresno Pacific Seminary and is currently pursuing a PhD in religious studies with a concentration in ethic from Southern Methodist University.
Noemi also authored the award-winning book Hermanas together with Kristy Garza Robinson and Natalia Kohn Rivera.
