We are excited to welcome Milanes Morejon in a talk titled "Salud for Life: Prioritizing Your Health at Every Age." When life is busy, our own health can be one of the easiest things to put off. Mila explores some of the barriers that make preventive care particularly challenging for Hispanic/Latine communities - and what we can do to overcome them. She'll share emerging health insights, break down the screenings and conversations that matter most after 40, and offer simple strategies for staying on top of your health. Milanes (she/her) is a public health professional with more than 10 years of experience advancing health equity and expanding access to care, and a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
We are excited to welcome Genesis Rivera in a talk titled "Bad Bunny Fell Into Our Living Rooms." Genesis unpacks what really happened when Latin art expanded beyond local audiences to global feeds - the coalition building, compromises and care that make those cultural phenomena possible. We'll explore representation, how culture gets preserved - or flattened - online, and why Latino social media use carries familial and cultural weight that moves far beyond trends. Genesis has a background in Political Science and Sociology paired with a CDP certification, and has worked with Fortune 500 companies and non-profit organizations to help teams reflect on their current processes, question their assumptions and better understand the role of systemic bias within their organization.
