Erin HowardLLCEC Director
Who am i?
Momma warrior. Educator-activist. Artist. Gymnast. Peacemaker. Community connector. The LLCEC is my favorite labor of love that I am grateful to direct, convene, nurture and build each year. In 2006, I was one of a team of two visionaries who imagined this program into being; many years later, I am awestruck to see how the LLCEC has blossomed into a beautiful familial network where all participants are mentored, affirmed and challenged to grow in their identities, their leadership and service to community, their goals and their understanding of social justice and liberation. I work as Latino Outreach and Student Support Director at Bluegrass Community and Technical College where I also teach as an adjunct in instructor. I have also taught courses in Immigration and Social Justice at EKU and through the Kentucky Institute for International Studies in Costa Rica. I spent three years as a board member for United We Dream; helped found the Kentucky Dream Coalition; and am still active with UWD’s educational justice work and the UWDN Action supporting campaigns to pass the DREAM Act and humane immigration reform.
