The Teaching Mom: Romina Buroz

As a first time mom and first generation Venezuelan American, Romina Buroz knows the importance of using her words to teach her young daughter Gianna. Romina wants her daughter to have a great balance of American and Venezuelan culture and is teaching her to be bilingual. "I speak to her in Spanish so she can learn the language, " says Romina.

Teaching Tradition

Growing up in the United States as a second generation Venezuelan may not be easy for Gianna, but Romina makes sure to spend lots of time with her daughter constantly teaching her, and familiarizing her with Venezuelan traditions. She says, "I want her to be proud to be Latina, I also want her to be able to share that with her kids one day. One day I will be gone and I look to her to keep our traditions alive." Romina Buroz is making sure her words are making a difference in raising her daughter from reading her books, to teaching her two languages. Romina explains, "My voice has been important to her ever since she's been in the womb."

Making Her Mouth Matter

Having plenty of mother-daughter time is important to create long-lasting memories with Gianna and gives Romina the ability to continue to teach her everyday. Romina says, "My mouth gives me the power to communicate with Gianna, to teach Gianna, and to just… LOVE. It's just the most powerful tool anybody could have"
