One of our sage local leaders, Dr. Emma Violand-Sanchez, has released a memoir of her life: Dreams and Shadows: An Immigrant’s Journey.
A well-attended event featuring conversation and community, "Sueños y Sombras: A Bilingual Celebration," celebrating the book was held at Café Sazón on the Pike. The book was written in collaboration with David Bearinger. It follows Dr. Violand-Sanchez's life story from her origins in Bolivia, to her work as an educator, Arlington County School Board chair, and effective advocate for immigrant rights and opportunities.
