Breaking Barriers: Young Latinas Rising

This interactive experience offers a safe, creative, and supportive space designed specifically for Latina girls ages 15–18, where participants can explore identity, self-worth, and cultural narratives through art and reflection. Attendees will take part in guided creative journaling, a self-portrait collage workshop, and meaningful group discussions centered on identity, creativity, and confidence.

Together, we will reflect on cultural stereotypes placed on Latina girls, reconnect with inner strength, and build self-trust through artistic expression and community connection. No art experience is necessary.
