Mis Raices: My Identity

Artists, performers, vendors and amazing panel spoke to all the things that shape our identity.

Mi Gente Mi Pueblo enters every year with a question:  ¿Y Quien Es Mi Gente? This is an essential question to creating the future we want to see: All Latinx communities are visible, connected, and thriving.

Our roots are black, indigenous, white.Our shared identity is intersectional and emergently complex. We need to get to know who we are together and with each other, who are we?

Our heritage weaves the threads of our identity, connecting our past, present and future. The experiences we embrace form a vibrant fabric that tells our unique story, reflecting the diversity and resilience of our community.Together, we stand as the living embodiment of a rich heritage, an emergent and collective journey of fuerza (strength) and unity.
