It features Latino leaders in Boston and their migration journeys, serving as a testament to the strength found in diversity, the power of storytelling, and the richness that cultural experiences bring to our lives. Join us as we share stories, embrace diversity, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of a city that I wholeheartedly love.
