It’s Hard to Kill a Bougainvillea
Sylvia A Alvarez, Author and Executive Director of Housing and Education Alliance
Speaker Description of The Discussion:
In this deeply moving memoir, Sylvia A. Alvarez tells the remarkable true story of her mother, a Cuban immigrant who endured unthinkable hardships, yet refused to be broken. Fleeing the turmoil of her homeland, she arrived in America with little more than her determination and an unshakable will to survive. A testament to the power of perseverance, It’s Hard to Kill a Bougainvillea is a tribute to all those who dare to dream beyond their circumstances and fight for a future greater than their past. Heart-wrenching yet inspiring, this is a true story of a woman who refused to wither—who bloomed brilliantly against all odds.
