What people are saying about "Afro-Latin@s Now! Strategies for Visibility and Action"

Picture
“The conference definitely garnered momentum for people to contribute to what I would say is a movement. There's an awakening offline and online. People are looking for ways to get involved, to affirm themselves and to share that knowledge. I can't say enough what this conference has done for me and friends of mine who also attended. This conference has been one of the major highlights in my life and I'm confident to say others share that sentiment.” - Violeta Donawa, Detroit, MI

"The conference concept of conversations spurred in me personal memories and stories I too seldom reflect upon that have shaped much of my personal, professional, and political-activist life. The results were well worth the effort. And, I have no doubt that many positive reverberations will flow in and outside the U.S." - James Early, Washington, DC

“Having this kind of forum for us to come together, share expertise, share experiences and just meet face to face is key to our future work and to our hopes of the potential we have to accomplish much as we move forward.  More importantly, it truly helped to fill and feed my soul. I look forward to seeing you and working with you and many others I met during that wonderful weekend. Pa’lante!” - Iván Román, Silver Springs, Maryland
