Latino Victory Fund’s Latino Talks: Year of the Latina

Latino Victory Fund‘s Latino Talks was held last week at The Hamilton in Washington, DC. This year’s theme was Year of the Latina and from the diversity in the room and stories shared, it was certainly fitting.

Andrea González-Ramirez (Refinery29) moderated the first panel with Paola Ramos (Latinx Advocate and Communications Strategist), Amara La Negra (Singer), Jennicet Gutiérrez (Transgender Activist, Familia TQLM), and Stephanie Castillo (Latina Girls Code).

Melissa Mark-Viverito awarded Elizabeth Guzman (State of Virginia Delegate) with “The First” award from Latino Victory Fund. The award was created by San Antonio artist Cruz Ortiz. Elizabeth is the first Latina in the Virginia assembly.

Alicia Menendez (Latina to Latina) moderated the second panel with María Elena Salinas (independent journalist and producer) and Nathalie Rayes (Groupo Salinas and Fundación Azteca).
