Celebrating Latinidad: Hispanic Heritage Month with DivInc
Join us for an inspiring afternoon dedicated to celebrating Latinx business leaders in Austin.
The complexities of being Latinx cannot be reduced to a single trait. To kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, we will celebrate Latinidad.
"Latinidad" is a term that refers to the shared cultural, historical, and social experiences of Latinx people, encompassing those with roots in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. It goes beyond simply being of Latin American origin and includes the collective identity and cultural heritage that shape the Latinx experience.
The goals of this event are to:
Convene Austin's Latinx community at the Downtown Austin Space Activation (DASA)
Provide practical business education for Latinx founders in tech
Provide networking and connection opportunities for Latinx founders in tech
