Ethnic Intersections Within Latinidad

The Diversity of Latinidad

Latinx, Latino, Hispanio, Latine — these terms can all mean widely different things. As part of the greater movement for economic and social equality of people everywhere with Latin American heritage, it’s important to recognize these differences. In this talk, Licy Do Canto, Managing Director of APCO Worldwide’s Washington DC office, and moderator Katharine Zaleski, PowerToFly’s Co-Founder and President, will discuss the ethnic intersections of latinidad, and its implications for Latinx and non-Latinx professionals.
