Inspiración Speaker Series: Javier Zamora

Inspiración is a speaker series designed to unite leaders within the Latino/Latinx/Hispanic community, providing an invaluable opportunity to hear from distinguished authors, thinkers, and artists about their personal experiences.

Javier Zamora was born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990. When he was a year old, his father fled El Salvador due to the US-funded Salvadoran Civil War (1980-1992). His mother followed her husband’s footsteps in 1995 when Javier was about to turn five. Zamora was left at the care of his grandparents who helped raise him until he migrated to the US when he was nine.

In his debut New York Times bestselling memoir, SOLITO (Hogarth, September 2022), Javier retells his nine-week odyssey across Guatemala, Mexico, and eventually through the Sonoran Desert.
