Through my work today, I strive to help youth and women of all ages to reach beyond the barriers they perceive and instead begin Transcending to New Futures.”

I was born and raised in New Mexico and my Hispanic roots go back 400 years in New Mexico. I am married with six children in a blended family, and we have seven grandchildren.

Sins of the System
Trauma, Guns, Tragedy and the Betrayal of Our Children
A tragic story of generational trauma set in the rich cultural background of New Mexico. This memoir is both a warning and a call to action for families, communities, and our nation. This is a story of courage and conviction as well as love, compassion, and hope. The story details the failure of not only the Juvenile Justice System, but many other systems that undergird families and society including gun safety.
80% of all royalties earned from this book will be donated to Everytown for Gun Safety and the Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth.
“In Sins of the System, Regina courageously shares her family's heart-wrenching story of generational trauma, mental health struggles and gun violence with grace, honesty and compassion. Her journey from grieving aunt to passionate advocate is truly inspiring. Regina is working to ensure no other family has to endure the pain that hers has, and through her words, she offers hope for a brighter future, even among the many challenges some families and children in our country face.”
