Adnoris “Bo” Torres is an educator with a passion for the Latina/e/o/x Community. During his professional career he has served as an experienced program coordinator, manager, and executive director with a demonstrated history of working to remove existing barriers for all historically marginalized persons. Working in the city of Detroit for 15 year he honed his skills and developed a keen sense for working towards the greater good. Skilled in Community Organizing, Student Development, Policy Analysis, Comparative Politics, and Organizational Development, Bo utilizes his Political Science background and Chicano/Boricua studies focus to affect the issues of importance to the Latinx community.

Bo co-created the Padres Fuertes Initiative portion of the Strong Fathers/Padres Fuertes Program, a project within the National Healthy Start Program Strong Beginnings, which aims to affect the lives of Latinos Fathers /Father figures in Kent County. He has served as the Executive Director of the Hispanic Center of Western Michigan, forging an understanding of the importance of the organization in the community and impacting those in most need during the most crucial stages of the cov-19 pandemic.

Focusing on social determinants of health as a foundation, Bo has developed outreach and educational opportunities for the Latinx community of Western Michigan to engage with their community in new and dynamic ways.

For Bo equity is not just a concept, an idea, or some trend; it is a way of living life. Creating spaces for those in society to thrive and grow in a way that truly represents who they are, that removes barriers and amplifies the voices of those who have for too long not been allowed to be heard. As a member of the Latinx community he sees a profound duty to be of service to those who in his community do not share his privilege. An objective in this work for him is to be a voice from the chorus of Latinx peoples whose true representation is inaccurate, whose lives are not fully valued, and who are otherized to a caricature or a bowl of food. He envisions the opportunity to develop ideas and actively engage not only his racial ethnic community but all communities whose equity lenses are focused on systemic change.
