About the Author
Maritza Nelson’s, first book on body gestures is inspired by the need to teach others that communication can be done with gestures as well as words. Having been born in Cuba her first language was Spanish. When she left her country for political reasons she found herself in a world where Spanish was no longer the main form of communicating. Through many years of studying and schooling she felt the need to help others. Today, Ms Nelson teaches interpretation of body gestures at her center as part of her program.
