In celebration and honor of Hispanic/Latinx/Latine Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15), please join our HOLA ERG for an 'Our VOICES' session moderated by HOLA leads: David Cano & Vanessa Rivero.

Our VOICES, inspired by our WGG Inspiration Sessions - allow us to listen, learn, and AMPLIFY the voices of GumGummers and folks from underrepresented and non-majority groups, through education, active engagement, and discussion, in a safe and supportive space. Previous ‘Our VOICES’ include amplification of current events, and marginalized groups facing oppression; Women in Iran, Floods in Pakistan, Ongoing war in Ukraine, and Native American Heritage Month. 

We'll be streaming a TedTalk: My identity is a superpower -- not an obstacle (America Ferrera) 14mins, followed by a 30-min optional discussion.

Hollywood needs to stop resisting what the world actually looks like, says actor, director and activist America Ferrera. Tracing the contours of her career, she calls for more authentic representation of different cultures in media -- and a shift in how we tell our stories. "Presence creates possibility," she says. "Who we see thriving in the world teaches us how to see ourselves, how to think about our own value, how to dream about our futures."

We look forward to seeing you there!
