Manlio focuses on all aspects of small and family-owned businesses, through a social business lens. He uses a unique perspective to think “outside the box” with creative and innovative approaches. He enjoys contributing on issues such as poverty alleviation, economic justice and development, and neighborhood enhancement/empowerment. These interests and his past experiences with business, social justice and helping our communities reach and develop their potential led Manlio to work with WEV first as a guest speaker, then as a business consultant and Emprendimiento instructor.
“Working with WEV allows me to share my passions about social justice and entrepreneurship to help others reach the true American dream.”
