WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2020 /Standard Newswire/ -- Rosi Orozco, internationally acclaimed human rights activist and author, releases her newest title today at an online event that connects speakers and attendees across an array of educational, activism, political, and entertainment spheres. The event will be hosted by international leadership consultant Dr. Miguel Angel Moreno and Lourdes Aguirre, the Hispanic leader for White House faith-based initiatives.
