Brito wants to thank everyone who liked her picture, as well as her brothers, mom (who brought her to the New Futuro event), and best friends Chelsie and Lailonny for spreading the word about the contest.

Hispanic Access Foundation participated in the New Futuro college prep fairs because we know that for families a college education is very important but that Hispanics are still not graduating from college at the rates this country needs for its economic future and prosperity.
