Fighting Racism with Education<\/em><\/h1>\n

By Lorna Oppedisano | Photography by <\/em>Alice G. Patterson<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

When YWCA executive director Fanny Patricia Villarreal Torres moved from her home country of Peru to the United States, she arrived with a sealed envelope from the U.S. Embassy in Peru.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, she handed the envelope to the customs officer. Remaining stone-faced, he looked through its contents. A few minutes later \u2014 what felt like an eternity to Fanny \u2014 he stamped the papers, and told her, \u201cYour name is Fanny P. Villarreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without any questions or discussion, he\u2019d shortened her name, changing her identity.<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, Fanny shared this anecdote during a group discussion she led about racism. When she received the invite, she started to think about the topic. People read about racism quite often, she thought to herself. It\u2019s a subject present in the media on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think it\u2019s more powerful when you actually tell your own story,\u201d Fanny said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finding community<\/h4>\n

Fanny moved to Syracuse when she was 25. It wasn\u2019t something she initially planned, but looking back now at age 52, \u201cGod has his own ways to do different things,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Once she realized she wanted to stay in the area for good, Fanny set out to find a job. Though she\u2019d earned a law degree in Peru, she wanted a job that would give her an opportunity to improve her English and familiarize herself with her new home. While she\u2019d learned English growing up, Fanny was surprised to find the English spoken in the States was slightly different than what she knew.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy ears needed to get accustomed to the way we speak here,\u201d she said. \u201cI could understand, but I was afraid to talk. So, I didn\u2019t talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fanny got a job as a cashier at Nojaim Brothers Supermarket on Syracuse\u2019s west side. Finding herself building connections with other Spanish-speaking people at the new job, she quickly realized she could help them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that there were a lot of people who needed a lot of education and a lot of support,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, I learned, myself, how to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fanny became a social worker of sorts for her coworkers. She quickly worked her way from cashier to manager.<\/p>\n

Her boss, Paul Nojaim, noticed her passion for helping the Latino community. One day, he told her, \u201cYou have a lot to offer to your own community, so I got you an interview at Catholic Charities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fanny was surprised \u2014 and initially not excited \u2014 about the prospect of a new job. She didn\u2019t want to leave the community she\u2019d built through her position at Nojaim. But Paul saw potential for Fanny to be of value at Catholic Charities. He urged her to take the interview.<\/p>\n

She did and was offered the job on the spot.<\/p>\n

Returning to Nojaim after the successful interview, Fanny was upset she\u2019d have to leave the job she\u2019d grown to love. Paul offered an alternative: she could work at Catholic Charities during the day and keep her position at Nojaim in the evening.<\/p>\n

She accepted his offer. Along with working the two jobs, Fanny also took classes to improve her English.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a lot of things I did in order to help my community and better myself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A mission of education<\/h4>\n

When Fanny first moved to Syracuse, people warned her to watch out for racism. Though she didn\u2019t encounter any racism while working at Nojaim, her fellow employees told her she would undoubtedly have to deal with it eventually and would have to be strong.<\/p>\n

After beginning to work for Catholic Charities, Fanny moved out of the city and to Chittenango.<\/p>\n

When she went to church, she could feel everyone\u2019s eyes on her. At first, she didn\u2019t understand why, but began looking around. Soon, she realized everyone else was the same except her, she remembered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I understood what everybody was saying to me [about racism],\u201d Fanny said.<\/p>\n

Then, she began to notice a pattern.<\/p>\n

At the grocery store near her home, employees followed her around the store until she confronted them. Not wanting to get into an argument, she told them, \u201cI\u2019m not buying anything in this store,\u201d and left. She drove from Chittenango to Syracuse, taking her business to Nojaim.<\/p>\n

While she was shopping for new clothes, Fanny noticed people talking about her. She realized they were suspicious she might steal something, when she was simply trying on clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd all these things that happened to me, I can assure you they happened to everybody else,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rather than internalize the way she was being treated and let it fester into anger and resentment, Fanny made it her mission to teach Central New Yorkers about Latino culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think education is very important \u2014 all kinds of education,\u201d she said, explaining that education about different cultures and traditions is equally important to an academic education.<\/p>\n

Fanny created Nosotros Radio, a not-for-profit dedicated to bridging the gap between the Latino and Central New York communities. She\u2019s celebrating 25 years of Nosotros Radio this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my first baby,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Fanny co-founded the Aurelia Crespo and Carlos Lavezzari Latino Americano Scholarship Fund, administered by the Central New York Community Foundation. She also co-founded the Syracuse Latino festival, creating another avenue of education for the public. This year\u2019s festival is planned for Aug. 11 in Clinton Square.<\/p>\n

In 1998, Fanny became the executive director of the Spanish Action League, continuing her role as educator and connector in that position.<\/p>\n

While she realizes no one person can change the entire world, Fanny stressed the importance of making an impact on your space in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can do is, I can change and educate people who are around me,\u201d she said, adding she strives to affect everyone from her two children to her coworkers to her community. \u201cThat\u2019s where I live. That\u2019s where I care. We all could do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her efforts to educate people, one of the most important and impactful tools Fanny utilizes is open and honest conversation.<\/p>\n

Everyone \u2014 herself included \u2014 makes assumptions and preconceived notions, she explained. When those ideas aren\u2019t questioned and explored, they can lead to prejudice, which, in turn, can lead to racist thoughts and actions, Fanny said.<\/p>\n

Letting yourself be vulnerable with open conversation can put a stop to the cycle, she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen your conversations make you feel uncomfortable of the topic, that\u2019s when you actually are opening up,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s when you are like, \u2018Oh, wait a minute, I feel uncomfortable because one time, I thought about this, and I was wrong.\u2019 That\u2019s when you open up your mind \u2014 your heart \u2014 to listen to the other person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leading the YWCA<\/h4>\n

After the Spanish Action League, Fanny worked as the family and community development director at P.E.A.C.E., Inc. Then, about six years ago, she accepted the position of executive director at the YWCA.<\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s mission \u2014 \u201celiminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all\u201d \u2014 fit perfectly with her own mission and the work she\u2019d accomplished so far in Central New York.<\/p>\n

Now, each day of work is different \u2014 from managing finances to programming to reports and more \u2014 but they all have one thing in common: collaboration with her passionate staff. Every member of the YWCA staff has the mission at heart, she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t believe in the mission, if you don\u2019t breathe the mission, if you don\u2019t think on the mission, then it\u2019s not worth it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that the YWCA staff are excited to wake up and go to work each morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat shows,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd when you\u2019re working with people, it\u2019s very important that you provide this love, this positive message, this great energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nonprofit offers programming for both girls and women, all centered around education in some way, Fanny said.<\/p>\n

The programs for girls range from the Girls Inc. program, aimed at helping girls ages 5 to 18 become smart, strong and bold, to STYA, also known as Successful Transition from Youth to Adolescents. Fanny and her team collaborate with a number of local organizations, including Upstate Medical University, REACH CNY, the Syracuse City School District, Syracuse University and National Grid.<\/p>\n

The YWCA also offers a women\u2019s residence program. They provide both temporary and permanent housing to 55 homeless women \u2014 some with children, some single \u2014 with the aim of helping them get back on their feet and be successful.<\/p>\n

Once the YWCA staff members ensure the women are ready and willing to make changes in their lives, the women are accepted into the program and assigned case managers. The case managers then work hand-in-hand with the women to establish goals and make plans to achieve those goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing,\u201d Fanny said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Choosing happiness<\/h4>\n

America really is the land of opportunities, Fanny said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know why? If you really want to do something here, you can do it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

For Fanny, that includes creating a Latino radio program and festival, owning her own home, establishing and growing a successful career and raising a family.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy kids are my world,\u201d she said with a smile.<\/p>\n

She emphasized the importance of one particular goal: making a conscious decision to be happy. Years ago, when she moved to Syracuse, Fanny made that decision herself. Every time she helps and educates another person \u2014 from her sons to community members to staff members \u2014 she reinforces her choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you wait to have a car to be happy, if you wait to have a husband to be happy, if you wait to have money to be happy \u2014 whatever it is that you might think \u2014 you\u2019re never going to be happy,\u201d Fanny said. \u201cYou\u2019re always going to look for something else to complete whatever it is that you\u2019re thinking. It\u2019s an individual decision.\u201d SWM <\/em><\/p>\n
