About this Event
Overview: Come together in a supportive space to express thoughts and feelings around the current collective experience of being a part of the Latine community. In the current climate, we feel it in our hearts that there is a need to meet in kinship, share, and bear witness with others who have a shared lineage.

- Sensitivity to keep what is shared to this space only
