¿y dónde está mi gente?: How it Started

LatinX inVISIBLE

EVENT OVERVIEW 

¿y dónde está mi gente? LatinX inVISIBLE sought to engage all individuals invested in the lives of Latinas, Latinos, Hispanics, Latinx and Spanish speakers in our growing community.

The convening explored how visible or invisible is the Latinx, Latino, Latina, Hispanic community. We discussed what brings us all together to celebrate, to mobilize, to serve.

The goal was to elevate our narrative, listen and learn from our history and promote engagement as we preview issues of disparities, beginning with immigration, health and education. 

In addition to this convening, we hosted a virtual festival of the arts for local Latinx artists called Latinx Presente. We recognize the healing power of the arts and showcased many of the talented Latinx artists creating in our community.
