“Don’t let where you came from dictate who you are—let it be part of who you become.” —Dr. Robert Renteria
Have you ever felt like your past disqualified you from your future? Dr. Robert Renteria understands that struggle until he chose to rise and uplift entire communities.
This week on Corporate Cafecito, we share a story of grit, grace, and transformation that will leave you inspired to rewrite your narrative.
👉 From a troubled childhood in East LA
👉 To surviving gang life, drug use, and violence
👉 To becoming a U.S. Army veteran, corporate executive, award-winning author, and now… Lt. Governor pick for Illinois
Dr. Renteria is not just telling his story—he’s using it to change lives. His mission is simple: Replace violence with vision and hopelessness with healing.
His bilingual books and free curriculum—From the Barrio to the Board Room, Mi Barrio, and Little Barrio—are now impacting lives in over 25 countries, reaching classrooms, prisons, churches, shelters, and soon, the big screen, with the support of the World Boxing Council.
