🚨MEET THE MENTORS 🚨

We’re excited to introduce a amazing individual take a moment to meet Mrs Cecilia Muñoz, and hear her WHY! 👏🏽🌹Cecilia Muñoz has dedicated over 15 years to working in education and supporting children and families.

Throughout her career, she has had the opportunity to work closely with students from many different backgrounds, and those experiences have strengthened her passion for helping young people recognize their worth, make positive choices, and understand that their circumstances do not have to determine their future.

Her passion for mentoring also comes from her own life experiences. Growing up, Cecilia faced challenges that taught her at an early age the importance of having someone in your corner someone who will listen, encourage you, hold you accountable, and remind you that you are capable of more.

That is one of the reasons she chose a career in education and why becoming a Rose in Concrete mentor means so much to her.

“I don’t care if I’m called a mentor, helper, supporter, or simply someone they can count to show up for them. I just want to help our youth do better and avoid some of the mistakes I made growing up. If my story, experiences, or encouragement can help even one young person choose a better path, that is a win for me.”

Our youth need people who are willing to show up, listen without immediately judging them, and remind them that where they come from does not determine where they are going. I’m excited and grateful to become part of the Rose in Concrete family and to continue doing what has always been close to my heart helping our youth grow, succeed, and become the best version of themselves.

Where Did Rose in Concrete Come From? 🌹
The Story Behind the Name, From RIC President Chelsia Jenkins

The “Rose” came from my grandmother, Gwendolyn Ann, known as “Ms. Ann.” 🕊️She was my rose.

She was living proof that even through the toughest concrete, a rose can still bloom.

My younger brother chose the name to connect with Tupac’s The Rose That Grew from Concrete, who my grandmother swore was her man.

She truly loved roses and her garden. Every child on the West Side of Bryan knew not to step in her rose bushes! 🌹 Lowe’s was one of our favorite places to go together to find them.

But her legacy was bigger than roses. She was always there for people, including children who weren’t hers by blood. She created a village and made people feel like family.

Right before she passed, she told me, “God is going to get the glory.” At the time, I couldn’t understand how that could be true.

Now I see it.

Through losing her, I created Rose in Concrete, a way to continue her legacy by helping young people grow through their own concrete.

That’s why our logo says:

“Long live the rose that grew from concrete.”

For me that rose represents her. 🌹

And in many ways, Rose in Concrete is her legacy continuing through me.

Who was your rose? 🌹

Who helped you grow through the concrete and become who you are today? ❤️
