Saul Flores - From Where I Stand

Saul Flores is a philanthropist, photojournalist, and speaker who is nationally recognized for his social impact projects. Through his most recent project, Saul documents the amazing lives of thousands of Latin American immigrants to fundraise for an elementary school in his mother’s hometown.

From helping his mother scrub penthouse suites in Manhattan to learning broken English with his sister, Flores's humble beginnings started in Brooklyn, New York. Now, he wants to share his story to inspire students to persevere no matter the circumstance.

Growing up with little-to-no resources, Flores persisted through economic barriers that prevented him and his family from attaining the American Dream. As a high school senior, Flores spent his afternoons applying to universities and scholarships, knowing that it was going to take more than grades for him to attend college.

As the first person in his family to graduate high school, Flores received more than 20 scholarships from organizations like McDonald’s, Mercedes Benz, Walmart, BI-LO, and The Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and was offered a seat in the Caldwell Fellows Program at NC State.
