Originally from Venezuela, Meliana’s heritage has deeply influenced her work at the YMCA. Raised with a foundation of integrity and empathy, Meliana brings the same values into her role as a preschool teacher, helping shape young minds with the love and dedication she learned from her own family. For Meliana, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize the positive impact Hispanic contributions have on strengthening American society. At home, Meliana celebrates her Venezuelan culture by preparing traditional meals with her children, keeping their heritage alive through food and family traditions. Thank you, Meliana, for your contributions to our Y family! #hispanicheritagemonth #hispanicheritagemonth2024 #charlottenc #hispanicheritage #venezuela
