My name is Irvin A. Magaña. I grew up in Echo Park, CA. Going to school wasn’t the best thing for me. In fact, I despised going. I was disruptive, bad mouth, didn’t care about my grades or anything. Unfortunately, this caused my teachers to react a certain way with me. The same way I treated them, they treated me. Without a care for my education, I was known as the “disruptive one” in all my classes. Teachers highlighted this and intentionally placed me as the center of what NOT to be. I used this as an excuse to not attend class and do my own thing. Little did I know, this was going to haunt me and ruin my educational career. I placed a lot of the blame on my teachers for not knowing how to deal with me and my behaviors. It was hard for me to see that the teachers I had, actually wanted to help me. None of them took the time to check in with me, none of them took the time to reach out and see if everything was ok at home. All but one teacher. After disrespecting him, he made me stay after class, in what I though was going to be a long lecture. Instead, he asked me what high school I was planning on attending. He also mentioned that if I played football, to let him know because he wanted to go see my games. Shocked?! Yes! I was. But we spoke and had a long conversation. Years later, I realized that it only takes a small amount of effort to try and engage with a child. I spent the last 10 years in a school setting either; coaching, training or leading a group of kids. My mission became clear. I wanted to work with Educators and help them find a greater purpose in what they do and who they serve by focusing on their development of influence. If I am able to help Educators go deeper than just teaching, I would be able to reach more students. I am a Motivational Speaker, Leadership Coach and Trainer. I want to give students another opportunity for success by motivating and training their Educators in schools, nonprofits and any other before or after school program setting. I have gained 4 core values in which I live by; 1) Faith 2) Family 3) Integrity 4) Development (myself and others) Recent presentations include Engaging Children and Building Connections.

Sonia Lewis is a native of California and since the age of 7 she has challenged systems that discriminate against people based on race and economic status when in the 2nd grade she refused to say the “Pledge of Allegiance.” A graduate of Spelman College of Atlanta, GA, Sonia holds a dual BA degree in History and Psychology. Sonia went on to further her education by earning a Secondary Teaching Credential and a Master’s degree in Education from San Francisco State University. Sonia spent more than 20 years in the traditional classroom teaching Social Studies and managing a small magnet program that focused on Criminal Justice. During her time with the Criminal Justice Academy, Sonia saw first-hand the flaws in law enforcement training and implicit bias interaction with the Black community. The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Sandra Bland led to Sonia joining and becoming a leader in the Sacramento chapter of Black Lives Matter. She is currently a lead community abolitionist with The Liberation Collective for Black Sacramento (TLC4BlackSac). At the height of the recession in 2009, Sonia left the traditional classroom and started ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, a business focusing on bridging the gaps of inequity for Black students. While on this journey, Sonia has been on a mission to marry education and what it means to be a social justice activist, with the goal of preparing future generations to advocate and fight for equity, representation, justice, and reparations. In pursuit of Black liberation, Sonia has been instrumental in Sacramento with organizing and leading the movement as a chapter lead with Black Lives Matter Sacramento, now TLC4BlackSac. Sonia is an extended family member of Stephon Clark and has been on the frontlines of efforts to hold law enforcement accountable and move for transparency and equity in Sacramento and throughout the state of California from the passing of local ordinances and state legislation to demanding a seat at the table with the intention of demanding respect for the Black community. In this moment of the movement, Sonia is striving to not only be a change agent but a moral witness as we abolish the old normatives of white supremacy while rebuilding humanity where Black lives actually matter. Her work in the community includes but is not limited to focusing on how to eliminate blatant/inherent racism and implicit biases, as they affect EVERYTHING including the school to prison pipeline, police brutality and murder, excessive bail and sentencing, gentrification, unemployment and the lack of health care access and so much more. Often compared to the speaking presence of Fannie Lou Hamer and direct actions of Harriet Tubman, Sonia will fight you literally and figuratively so that all of our places in places in American history are valued as important.
