SAYRA CAMPOS
LATIN X COMMUNITY
“My joy is art, food, family and justice work for my community.”
Sayra’s lived experience is rooted in supporting Latinx families across Indianapolis who often navigate language barriers, unfamiliar systems, and cultural transitions. Having walked many of these paths herself, she understands the stress families feel when they are trying to access resources, communicate with schools, manage appointments, or advocate for their children in spaces where their voices are not always fully heard. Her personal journey gives her a deep awareness of the courage it takes to ask for help and the relief that comes when someone patient and compassionate stands beside you. Because she has translated for loved ones, guided friends through complex information, and witnessed the challenges families face, Sayra leads with empathy and clarity. She represents the Latinx community not by geography but by relationship. She meets people where they are, supports them across neighborhoods, and helps them feel a sense of home throughout the city. Her lived experience allows her to move between cultures with ease, giving families comfort, confidence, and connection during important moments. Sayra believes every family deserves dignity, understanding, and access. Her leadership is shaped by the experiences that taught her how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who truly sees you.
