These events have united immigration attorneys, local public officials, subject matter experts, and like-minded organizations to support the immigrant community. Additionally, she has led impactful initiatives, including coat drives, distribution of ""know your rights"" pamphlets, and breakfast programs for day laborers.Anissa also created a children's Latino Heritage Month (LHM) curriculum, initially designed for her son to connect with their cultural heritage. This curriculum has now been adopted by at least two local schools as part of their LHM programming.Recently, Anissa has embraced a new passion: writing children's literature with a purpose. Her stories aim to educate, inspire, build empathy, and spark critical thinking among young readers.
