We’re kicking off #HispanicHeritageMonth or what we prefer to call #LatinxHeritageMonth by sharing some highlights from our time at Raizado Fest by the Latinx House. Rooted in The Latinx House’s commitment to celebrating and empowering the excellence of the Latinx community, the three-day Festival was a gathering with the most thought-provoking leaders, changemakers, cultural icons, and creators in the Latinx community. Raizado Fest was designed and created by The Latinx House co-founders, activist Mónica Ramírez and producer Olga Segura. Learn more about them here: https://www.thelatinxhouse.org/
