Dalbin A. Osorio
Executive Director, Dyslexia Tutoring Program
Some leaders come to social change through ideology. Dalbin A. Osorio came through lived experience. Raised in a single-parent household as the son of immigrants who could not complete their own academic journeys, he grew up watching the distance between raw talent and realised opportunity widen into something that looked, from the inside, less like a gap and more like a canyon.
Rolando A. Hyman
Founder, XY Spark | Men’s Life Coach & Psychotherapist
There are professionals who choose their field, and there are those who are called to it. Rolando A. Hyman belongs to the second category. Approximately thirteen years ago, while conducting research as a graduate student, Hyman found himself immersed in a subject that most of his peers had little interest in: men who were survivors of intimate partner violence. What he encountered in that research did not just shape his academic thinking. It permanently redirected the course of his life.
Natalie Brooks
Founder | Dysleixa in Adults
Natalie Brooks founded Dyslexia in Adults from a personal need that she couldn’t find answers to. She was struggling at work, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of a fast-paced environment, and trying to balance the expectations of her role with her challenges as a dyslexic adult. While resources for children with dyslexia were abundant, she found little to support adults navigating the professional world. Initially, the idea behind Dyslexia in Adults was just to find a community that could understand her unique struggles, but it quickly became clear that there were many adults who shared similar challenges.
