Our story
We are a multilingual communication agency built on one belief — that words, chosen with care and delivered with precision, have the power to change lives, build bridges, and unite people across cultures and generations.
"We believe in communication with purpose — to help people find quality of life, to improve relationships, to bring people closer, to create bridges, and to unite us all through words that matter."
Words for Humankind is a communication agency and consulting business operated in accordance with the highest standards in the market — designing, developing, and delivering communication products that provide real solutions to individuals, businesses, and corporations worldwide.
We serve clients across industries — from healthcare and legal to tourism, retail, and education — all with the same commitment to quality, professionalism, and purpose.
The people behind the words
Paulo Lara, M.A., is a court-certified Portuguese–English interpreter and translator with over 14 years of experience in legal, medical, corporate, and creative settings. Certified in Florida, California, Colorado, and Louisiana, he holds a Master's degree in Languages and Communication and works across courtrooms, depositions, conferences, and translation projects nationwide.
Originally from Puerto Rico, Marisel is a trilingual Marketing and Communications Specialist with 14+ years of experience leading marketing for major brands. She brings world-class marketing strategy, digital expertise, and a deep passion for literacy and family connection to Words for Humankind — and co-hosts Words & Wonder alongside her son André.
At just 12 years old, André Lara is one of the youngest voices in the Words & Wonder podcast family. An aspiring astrophysicist and aerospace engineer with a passion for science and discovery, he began his journey on Camita Time at age 7 — sharing stories, insights, and his unique perspective on growing up in a multilingual, multicultural household.
What we stand for
Every project we take on has a clear reason behind it. We don't just translate words — we deliver meaning, intent, and impact that connects people.
We operate at the highest standards in the market — with meticulous attention to grammar, syntax, tone, and cultural nuance in every deliverable.
Language is a bridge. Every service we offer is designed to bring people closer — across cultures, industries, families, and generations.
Through Words & Wonder and our literacy initiatives, we champion reading, storytelling, and the love of words for children and families everywhere.
From multilingual communities to nonprofit literacy programs, we are committed to making communication accessible and meaningful to everyone.
At the heart of everything we do is a belief in family — the stories we share, the languages we pass down, and the connections that define us.
