Session A Workshop Title: “Sana, Sana, Colita de Rana”: Prioritizing Health in the Latinx Community Presenter: Brandon Quiles (Staff), Yoel Bernard (Student), Raizel Febles (Student) Room: Description: The disregard of physical and mental wellbeing is common in the Latinx Community. Cultural and societal expectations of productivity and a lack of acceptance around mental health from familial units have cultivated an environment where we disregard what our bodies and minds are telling us. In this workshop we will discuss the 8 dimensions of wellness, dissect the generational curses that have infected the wellness of our community, and delve into healthy practices while creating new “generational blessings” that can help us prioritize our wellness.

Room: Description: Anti-blackness is certainly alive and well in the Latinx community. From brushing off jokes that are racist to using questionable nicknames for people who are Black to interrogating Black Latinxs about their identity, there is a significant amount of work that needs to occur to effectively combat these bigoted behaviors. This workshop focuses on addressing how non-Black Latinxs perpetuated anti-blackness inside and outside the Latinx community through self-exploration of one’s conditioning and unconscious biases.
