Leslie Priscilla Arreola-Hillenbrand is a first generation non-Black Chicana mother to three biracial children. She is a descendant of Indigenous Tarahumara Rarámuri and Spanish lineages who has resided on occupied Tongva and Acjachemen land, also known as Orange County, CA, all of her life.

Over the years, Leslie has worked within mental health agencies in positions serving as Interim Director of Parent Education for the Child Abuse Prevention Center in Orange County, Youth & Professional Programs Manager for NAMI Orange County, and a Consultant for the Dads Matter Program of Children's Bureau.

Her vision is of a movement rooted in children's rights, social and racial justice, the individual and collective practice of nonviolence and reparenting, intergenerational and ancestral healing, cultural sustenance, and the active decolonization of oppressive practices in our families so we can collectively move towards liberation. Leslie founded Latinx Parenting, a bilingual organization, and the #EndChanclaCulture movement in support of this vision. 

You can find Leslie sharing her medicine through social media posts, workshops, courses, and partnerships that support and advocate for Latinx/Chicanx families locally, nationally, and internationally, and by spending lots of time with her kids.
