Title
So Are You Latinx?: The Complexity of Language and How It Impacts Identity
Presenter
Cinthia Manuel, CEO/Founder, Autentica Consulting LLC
In this session, participants will learn the historical evolution of the terms Hispanics, Latin@s, Latinx, Latine, Chican@. In addition, this session will provide an opportunity to reflect on the various terms and how their evolution is related to oppression among individuals who identify as part of this historically underrepresented group. This training is open to people of all backgrounds who want to learn the historical background and build new vocabulary to have deeper conversations with the communities you serve, including your staff.
