About this Event
In partnership with Bodi Columbus, authors Christina Vera and Maylin Sambois invite you to an inspiring Author Conversation in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and the release of their debut book, The Journey: From Who You Are to Who You’re Meant to Be.
This year’s national theme celebrates the heritage, resilience, and future contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Building on that spirit, the conversation will explore how our roots shape identity, how resilience fuels growth, and how together we can create a legacy for future generations.
This gathering is a celebration of culture, community, and growth. Guests will hear powerful stories, gain tools for transformation, and connect with changemakers shaping the future.
