Latinidad 365: Celebrating Heritage with our Culturas y Raices

Join us as we launch Latinidad 365 to celebrate our Latinidad beyond one month! AAHHE is committed to advancing our communities strengths and intersectionalities across our diaspora. Latinidad 365 is a series of events that will allow us to celebrate our rich heritage through our Culturas y Raices as we advance our communities and scholarship across the academic community.

Latinidad 365’s inaugural event, Navegando Entre Fronteras: Latina-Centered Leadership Webinar, on October 30^th, 2024, at 7:00pm EDT, highlights how Latinas in Educational Leadership Matter, and centers the unique assets of and opportunities for early- and mid- career Latina leaders in higher education. Discussion will focus on identifying awareness about “entre fronteras” challenges, recognizing power gaps, describing Mujerista mindset and authentic leadership skills and reframing dilemmas and applying resonant leadership skills.

The future of our educational system at all levels needs leaders that utilize their rich community cultural wealth through frontera consciousness that exemplify nepantla skills, which are often powerfully displayed by the many Latinas in educational leadership roles by harnessing a mujerista mindset that embody authentic leadership practices. It is clear that these voices and herstories matter and are indeed solutions to our communities, especially given the current gendered political landscape taking place both in the U.S. and globally. We need to be intentional about nourishing and advancing this in concept and in numbers. 

Please join us for this opportunity in wisdom sharing and intentional space as we elevate our communities through such exemplary and much needed educational leadership.
