Program Coach
David Emmanuelle Castillo (he/him/his) is from Los Angeles, CA, and his name in Nahuatl is Cualliyolteotl. He is passionate about anti-racism and culturally responsive pedagogy. He finds purpose in disrupting the carceral system that unjustly warehouses Black and Brown bodies by doing his part to support young people through mentorship, providing them access to opportunities and resources. He aspires to continue to do this through his role as Program Manager for We Will All Rise, and believes creating a more just and equitable world starts with servant leadership that centers the voices of those being served.
