Hey glimpsers and families! My name is Iris Munoz and I will be one of your Global Glimpse Leaders (GGL’s) along with Brian P. for our upcoming trip to Las Tablas, Panama!
Im super excited to meet you all, create life-long memories and experience a new country together! Just so you can get to know me better: I am a Program Coordinator and the Arts Facilitator at the Oyate Group, a non-profit organization in the South BX! I grew up and live in Jamaica, Queens but my family is Guatemalan and Surinamese.
I am passionate about youth development and social justice art education, but aside from my work, I am also a self-taught multimedia artist. I paint, draw, work with clay, do film photography and own my jewerly business! You’ll definitely be seeing my film camera and sketchbook everywhere we go!
Along with my million hobbies, I love to travel and learn about new cultures. I have visited most of the East Coast, Guatemala, Suriname, Belize, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, but I am most excited to visit Panama! I wouldn’t say I’m an experienced traveler but I truly hope to be a shoulder you can lean on during this trip. It is my priority to make sure you’re getting the most out of your trip while feeling your best self!
I’ll see you all soon and I can’t wait. Blessings!
