Great points Sandra...love this! Get to know people and be curious. People are surprised I am Mexican-American...they see my name and formulate assumptions. It is my married name.

Great observations Angelica. I completed a BS in Spanish and received the same question about why as a Hispanic/Latina why would I study Spanish/Latin History....my family chose not to speak Spanish in our home as they were worried about discrimination in the schools. As a result, I picked up pieces from my grandparents and had to learn Spanish in school.

Exactly David...no cookie cutter or what we look like, sound like, etc. We are all beautiful and unique.

Great message David...thank you!

Thank you, Celia, for sharing! I did speak fluent Spanish growing up, but I did not know the grammar rules and spelling. I also was introduced to literature and history, I otherwise would not have learned.

Thanks for sharing Angelica...it was an important point about not making assumptions about others or formulating biases and stereotypes.

Diego, thanks for your inspiring message. Your parents sound amazing. Business is a great field so keep making an impact!

Thanks Erin...speakers are terrific. So proud!
