PAPALOTL CONSULTING
Research & Evaluation for Liberation
In Nahuatl languages, Papalotl means butterfly. Generations of monarch butterflies migrate every year between the US/Canada and Michoacán, México where our principal and founder, Nayeli Bernal, was born and grew up before immigrating to East Oakland. We strongly believe that migration is beautiful!
