Keynote Speaker & Quilt Maker Honoree
Delivering the keynote address at Children's Center Honors, Emmy Award-winning actress Sonia Manzano played Maria on Sesame Street for over 40 years. In so doing, she provided a valuable service to help children understand health, wellness, empathy, body safety, and family.
Sonia retired from Sesame Street in 2015 and published a memoir, entitled "Becoming Maria: Love & Chaos in the South Bronx" about growing up with an alcoholic father, witnessing violence and hope, and building resilience, ultimately becoming an inspiration to millions.
