Norma Camero Reno Leaving a legacy of service to others, of changes, of human rights, of freedom and democracy
Human Rights lawyer Norma Camero Reno talks about her desire to leave a legacy of service to others, of changes, of human rights, of freedom and democracy and her goal of having a great impact on other people especially women through kindness, respect, value, and most of all education.
Who are you? My name is Norma Camero Reno a woman of humble extraction but with great desires of overcoming and acquiring knowledge in order to help others by educating them and taking them by the hand when necessary.
I always felt the need to approach the needy and defend their rights and I think this was because of the example of having a mother with very high values where respect was the main word in each of her relationships whether they were friendship, or business. What motivates me most in all this is to see when something that you have done or have initiated helps others but above all to do this without selfishness, thinking that you can be transforming the lives of others for the better. My motto has always been “changing lives, one person at a time” because it is not the quantity but the quality of that change in the future of a person. What inspires me most is to leave a legacy of service to others, of changes, of human rights, of freedom and democracy, always remembering the importance of sharing something in which you are good, whether it be love, knowledge, financial aid, respect and equality always remembering that in the same measure that you give thus you will receive.
I am a Venezuelan attorney graduated from Santa Maria University with a Master degree in International Business Law from Stetson College of Law, I have been living in The United States for forty happy years, I was married to Dr. Herman Robert Reno and I have three daughters Sandra Ponce, Monica Ponce and Amra Farcheg and one stepdaughter Angela Reno, and I am very proud of them all. I believe they are superwomen and an example to others. My purpose is to have a great impact on other people especially women through kindness, respect, value, and most of all education.
I am from Venezuela, I was born in a little town called “El Tigre” a place built when oil was found and the first office of the Petroleum Company was opened called “Oficina No, 1” (Office No. 1)
I am a very proud mother of three wonderful daughters and two beautiful grandchildren who make me very happy. My family and my friends love and trust me with anything and I consider this one of my major achievements. You do not gain trust without hard work and effort in everything you do. I believe in honesty, trustworthiness, and truth and I try to live by those standards. Once you gain people’s trust you have half of the work done. I have worked for my community for a long time helping them in any way I can, especially when it comes to defending their rights. I have also been awarded many times for the work I have done for my people, for my Hispanic community and trying to be the voice of those who are not heard. I also have been part or founder of different nonprofit organisations in the Hillsborough County area and also helping those who wanted to start a new non-profit and they need help with the Bylaws, mission and vision of their organisation. That is something I really love to do since I get to know wonderful people with the same desire to help others as mine.
What is the single best piece of business advice which helped shape who you are now and why? The best advice I can give anybody in any kind of business or relationship is “respect and trust” if you have that powerful combination everything falls into place.
