About Us

What gave birth to Chicanx Scholars was Danny’s own self-reflection on his experiences within the school system. To elaborate, Danny was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, attending schools throughout his life that were composed of a student body that was predominantly of Hispanic descent. However, even though having attended schools where most of the students were of Hispanic background, very little of the school curriculum and educational supplies were dedicated to students learning about our own Hispanic heritage and history. Danny realized that this needed to change, not only to connect the younger generations to the incredible individuals who have been part of our history but also to inspire the younger generations to continue moving our culture forward. Chicanx Scholars is excited to be on this journey with ambitious goals to make a significant impact within our current educational systems.
