Join the Afro-Latinx Alliance alongside the African American Cultural Center (AACC) for Intersected Identities, a powerful panel discussion featuring Afro-Latinx voices sharing their lived experiences at the intersection of culture, race, and identity. Panelists will reflect on the stigmas they’ve navigated, the strength within their communities, and what it means to exist across multiple identities. This event creates space for meaningful dialogue, learning, and affirmation of stories that are too often overlooked.
