    Keynote Speaker: Rebeca Chow

    Program Title: The Power of You: Embracing Your Brilliance to Shape Generations

    Date: Thursday, November 20th, 2025

    Room: Texas D-H

    Program Summary: Your nervous system is your superpower—it helps you adapt, connect, and empower across generations. Gen Z, Millennials, and beyond all need different things, and when you tune into your own regulation, you can show up with the presence, awareness, and energy to truly make an impact. Co-regulation, intuitive listening, and embodied awareness aren’t just buzzwords—they’re how you create safety, build trust, and model resilience. When you regulate, you don’t just support others—you inspire, lead, and shape the future. It's time to embrace your brilliance and step fully into the power of you!

    Keynote Speaker: Ernesto Mejia

    Program Title: “My Parents’ American Dream”

    Date: November 21, 2025 

    Room: Texas D-H

    Program Summary: 

    In this heartfelt and motivating keynote, Ernesto Mejia shares his powerful personal journey as the proud son of Mexican immigrants who believed in the promise of education and hard work. Diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome at 16 and temporarily paralyzed, Ernesto defied the odds to become a first-generation college graduate, a college dean, and a nationally recognized speaker.

    Through storytelling, humor, and deep reflection, Ernesto connects with families, students, and educators alike—reminding them that challenges don’t define us, but choices do. His keynote is a celebration of resilience, cultural pride, and the vital role families play in a child’s success. Above all, it’s a message of hope: that the American Dream is alive, achievable, and shaped every day by the decisions we make.
