About Mary

Mary Ramos is a third generation Houstonian, a licensed Realtor and a proud mother of three children, eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She is also a born leader who has been an active member of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) District VIII for over four decades. This trailblazer is a staunch advocate for human rights, immigration, education, equal rights, equal pay and supporter of justice. In her journey to help give the Hispanic community equal opportunities, she helped forge a relationship and helped develop a statewide resolution that allows Texas NAACP and Texas LULAC to work together on issues that affect both communities. Together these organizations have been able to initiate the opening of the first, Public Defender's Office in Harris County and help defeat the Voter ID Bill. Her leadership and advocacy garnered her the NAACP Houston Branch’s 2012 Presidential Award.

She is respected and recognized by many elected officials, leaders and those she has mentored. She is someone you can count on and someone who has made our world a better, more equal place to live, work and play. There is no one more deserving of the Comcast Hispanic Hero Award, as she is a Hero to so many and is building a legacy, others will continue benefiting.
