Nominated by: Darlene Encomio
Marybeth Pena writes poems and stories and shares how they evolve. She worked at the KinDoo Family Center in Indiantown from 2015-2022, leading the Mind, Body, Spirit program. She says, “I was inspired by the women who worked tirelessly to learn, support and care for their children and persevere through obstacles that seemed insurmountable. Yet they had courage and faith. I wrote many poems and stories during that time that led to my writing two books, The KinDoo Journey and Healing Garden.
