Heart to Heart | Beyond the Pastelitos with Betty Williams

In this episode of Heart to Heart, I sit down with educator, creator & proud Miami Cuban Betty Williams for a conversation filled with heart, laughter & a whole lot of cafecito energy 🤍 We talk about growing up in Miami with an Argentinian father & Cuban mother, life in Westchester, marrying into a Dominican family & how culture shapes identity, family & the way we move through the world. Betty also shares her journey from dreaming of being on children’s television to becoming an early childhood special education teacher creating bilingual educational workbooks & content that support both children & parents. We dive into how her brother with Down syndrome deeply influenced her path as an educator & the full circle moments that brought her back into the classroom. And of course… we had to test her Cuban credentials with a hilarious round of “Like, Literally Cuban,” where Betty decoded iconic Cuban sayings complete with hand gestures, drama & all 😂🇨🇺 A conversation about purpose, identity, teaching the littles, embracing your roots & building a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
