Dear First Gens,
In this episode, host Sara welcomes guest, Emanuel Anzules, to The First Gen Madrina Podcast! This gives us a brand-new episode for this month's theme, Pride as a First Gen!
Emanuel was born and raised in Lima, Peru, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1993, at the age of 7, to join his parents and sister. He attended school in New Jersey and graduated from Rutgers University in 2007. Emanuel was an active leader on campus, particularly as president of his class, and co-chair of the Latino Student Council. Upon graduating, he began his teaching career as a 2007 Teach for America corps members in Los Angeles, California. He later relocated back to the east coast and worked as a Target stores executive for a year before returning to the classroom in the Bronx, where he has taught social studies and english across various grade levels, and currently works at Bronx Leadership Academy. Emanuel holds a Masters in Business Administration from Boston University as well as a Masters in the Science of Teaching from Fordham University.
Emanuel also started competing in pageants in 2012, and was Mr. Gay New Jersey in 2014, as well as Mr. United States 2017. Through pageantry, he has advocated for those living with HIV/AIDS, has raised awareness about the horrors of human trafficking, and more recently advocated for the rights of immigrants, creating a scholarship fund for undocumented college-bound 12th graders.
Emanuel lives with his dog, Cherry, enjoys working out, watching movies, listening to music, and hopes to one day become an entrepreneur and media mogul.
