“I am my parent’s American dream!”
Speaker & Parental Engagement Expert
Ernesto Mejia, the proud son of Mexican immigrants, embodies the American dream with his unwavering commitment to empowering families, students, and educators across the country.
After overcoming the challenges of Guillain-Barré Syndrome at 16, which temporarily left him paralyzed, Ernesto defied the odds as a first-generation college student, earning a Master’s degree and rising to the role of College Dean of Students.
Ernesto’s deep-rooted belief in the power of education and communication has allowed him to travel across the country as a bilingual speaker and facilitator delivering engaging and impactful learning experiences to thousands of students, families, and educators.
His journey of resilience and perseverance fuels his work as a co-founder of CoolSpeak, where family engagement and student success are at the core of his mission, emphasizing the keys to achieving the American dream.
