2 hour workshop, cannot be shortened but we welcome lengthening for more reflection and discussion time.
Embedded in language alone are signs and evidence of how people within the Latine community have a complex relationship to race and ethnicity. We will take a closer look at the language, unpack the history, and examine how it shows up today. The goal: heighten our awareness to shift our perspectives and break the patterns keeping us from true progress.
