Allison is a Spanish teacher on the East Coast who has a passion for her work. She also loves to write and to create products to bring authentic culture into the classroom and to make the lives of busy teachers easier. I first encountered Allison’s resources through her YouTube channel! Today, I wanted to highlight the videos and resources she has created for celebrating Afro Latinos in Spanish class.
