Everyone has a story. People from all around the world of different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and religions. We all have a story to tell. Our stories are special. They connect us to one another. They unite us. They allow us to understand what all of our lives look like. Dynamic and inspirational women will be a part of HERstory on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at Les Amis Restaurant & Lounge (Lebanese/Latin American Fusion). Help make HERstory a memorable event by joining us and learning more!

MARIE NUBIA-FELICIANO, PH.D.Marie Nubia-Feliciano holds a Ph.D. in Education. She also has a master’s degree in Counseling, with an emphasis in student development in higher education, as well as a bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences. She is a lecturer at CSU Fullerton, and also teaching part time for UC Irvine and Chapman University. She instructs on such topics as leadership, ethics, feminisms of color, race and ethnicity, Ethnic Studies, and identity.
In addition to CSU Fullerton, UC Irvine, and Chapman, Dr. Marie has taught at CSU Long Beach, as part of their Ethnic Studies Initiative with Long Beach Unified School District. In this capacity, she taught Ethnic Studies courses to high school juniors and seniors on Saturdays at high schools in the Long Beach Unified School District. With AB 101, legislating an Ethnic Studies curriculum in the public K-12, and AB 1460 making Ethnic Studies a graduation requirement in the CSU, Ethnic Studies has become an increasingly important priority in education here in California. Dr. Marie was born in Vieques and raised in Culebra, Puerto Rico. Coming to New York, and later to California with her family in the late 1970s, she has developed a keen interest in public and private educational institutions. As an English Language Learner, she was supported all along the way by wonderful teachers to emerge with a high level mastery of English. This is where her love of education began. Having completed her K-12 in the public schools in California, she attended community college, then transferred to the University of California for her bachelor’s. She continued her education at California State University for her master’s, and eventually Chapman University for her doctorate. Her dissertation focused on the experiences of Afro-Puerto Rican women as they develop their racial and cultural identity while attending college. Her master’s thesis focused on the transition issues experienced by first- and second-year medical students as they move from life before medical school to life after medical school. Her area of research includes identity, race, multilingualism, AfroLatinidad, and ethnicity. Dr. Marie is an advocate for public education and is interested in research addressing the experiences of individuals and communities at the boundaries. She is a supporter of Ethnic Studies and advocates for its inclusion in the PreK-12. It is important that such conversations happen prior to students leaving high school. It is an essential component of being college and career ready. She also believes that Ethnic Studies, along with multilingualism, is a vital knowledge set for anyone looking to thrive in the 21st century. She is an advocate for full and unfettered access to education and considers it a human right. Finally, Dr. Marie is the Founder and CEO of the Colégas Group, a company that provides professional development and collaboration opportunities for scholars.
