Latinidades
“So as we spend this month celebrating who we are, let us remember, there is not one Latinidad. There is only Latinidades. These Latinidades will have different shades and flavors. Different languages and accents. Different histories and current lived realities. What connects us across Latinidad … is that we all walk in two and sometimes three worlds. And we walk these worlds with purpose. We walk those worlds to build bridges. We walk those worlds to be bridges. We walk to resist. We walked to open up spaces for those coming behind us. We walk to learn and unlearn and relearn. We walk to reconnect. To reclaim. To renew.”
