LATINO JOURNALISTS &
STORYTELLERS IN A NEW ERA

On the eve of the Presidential Inauguration we gather and ponder, How are we going to get through the next four years when the country is so divided? Despite a climate of huge distrust, we must keep it real, bring people together with diverse views and build bridges, not walls. How do we as Latinos set the tone for journalists, content creators, actors and musicians? We invite proven Latino journalists who share how we turn the heat down, listen to both sides and maximize this time as an opportunity to tell our stories and highlight those lives. More than ever, we must stand as “
Latinos Unidos.”
