Maritza: Lead With Your Heart
Washington D.C. – 2021Soccer Showcase!
The next day is the day of the Soccer Showcase. The stands are full, and the area is full of excited energy. When Maritza’s father announces all of the team members on the DC Jaguars soccer team, everybody gets into their demonstration formation. And then, at the drop of a button, they all raise their signs to form the words FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER. Violeta introduces herself, and her family, and explains they’re raising money to help bring Uncle Andrés home. The entire crowd launches into applause.
After the showcase, an interviewer comes up to Violeta and Maritza and asks to interview them; they’re going to be on the news that evening!
