Robles-Alvarado went on to earn a Masters degree in Elementary Education and Bilingual Education.

Her current work continues to emphasize the value of words as they relate to healing and transformation. In the South Bronx, Robles-Alvarado helps young students hone the same skills that enabled her to surmount the difficult circumstances she faced as a young mother in an abusive relationship.

Robles-Alvarado is a staunch supporter of healing through the arts. Her work, her talent and her personal journey have made her an ideal candidate to participate in the celebratory event that is Casa Atabex Aché’s Womyn Warrior Banquet: “Rebirth of a Queen.” The messages eloquently and powerfully conveyed in her poetry align seamlessly with the mission of the award ceremony.
