Invitation: Oct. 8 @ 6:30 pm ET, Latinx Heritage Month Webinar

Andrew, Though Latinx Heritage Month is coming to a close, we're not quite done yet. This month we've partnered with HBCU Palante to bring a wide-ranging look at the African Diaspora, honing in on intersectionality -- specifically, those of Latinx descent. That's why we're beyond excited to invite you to Breaking Barriers Para Puentes, our Latinx Heritage Month webinar taking place tomorrow, Wednesday, October 13th from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm EST!

GET THE ZOOM LINK Tomorrow's webinar will be a discussion on Latin/e/x experience in different industries, voicing for cultural concerns, highlighting complexities of their heritage, and societal integration. The discussion will hone in on the intersectionality of the African Diaspora and Latin/e/x in the United States. Topics of tomorrow's webinar include dialogue on language, as words get lost in translation; what it means to be Black in Latin/e/x homes, as well as identifying categories (Latino/a/x/e, Hispanic, Chicano/a.) Historians often attempt to erase the African Diaspora in Latinx culture. Those that identify as Afro-Latinx understand the complexities of their heritage as both African and Latinx persons. It is important to highlight this distinction because Afro-Latinx people are part of the Black experience both individually and collectively, which is why we're beyond excited to dig deeper into this topic at tomorrow's webinar.
