Leticia Barrera


Leticia Barrera is an education organizer. She helps in the Logan Square community. She has a family: 2 boys and 1 girl. Leticia is happy to be married because her husband supports her a lot in her work. She has spent six years working with LSNA. Leticia works with different groups to improve and help the community. The person that inspires Leticia the most is her mom because she inspired her to never give up, and to go through with her work in life. While she was living in Mexico, she was a teacher. She went to college, and she’s studying to be a bilingual teacher. She was an immigrant from Mexico, but came to the USA at early age. In 1991, she came to Chicago with no job and didn’t know how to speak English. I believe Leticia is a hero because she helps the community out.
