Karina Hernandez

Karina Hernandez has learned to live in multiple worlds through the power of language. Born in Los Angeles and raised in San Pedro Yolox, allowed Karina to develop her identity as a Xicana, a person who is neither from here nor there. Her identity and experiences have propelled her to reach many milestones which she hopes will inspire others to pursue their dreams and aspirations.

World of Words by Ms. Hernandez is rooted in advocacy to empower folx to see the strength and beauty in learning a new language. The resources on the website are research-based strategies that she uses in her own classroom. These resources are curated for educators who are looking for new strategies to reach their linguistically diverse learners.
