Hola everyone,Welcome to issue #18 of The Latinx Collective, a carefully-curated list of stories that celebrate and uplift the incredibly and uniquely diverse Latinx community.To me, this newsletter feels like an ongoing celebration of Latinx culture, so I'm very excited about the official Latinx Heritage Month having kicking kicked off on September 15th. In light of everything going on, it feels especially important this year that we remind family, friends, and allies of our rich contributions to the country, and honor both our Latinx and American heritage (if that fits).Con carino,Elisabeth Rosario
