Breaking Barriers: Young Latinas Rising

Schedule

Sat Jan 24 2026 at 12:00 pm to 03:00 pm

UTC-08:00

Location

Industrious - Office Space | Seattle, WA

A Wellness & Empowerment Project for Latina Immigrants and First Generation High School Girls
About this Event

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.


Space provided by Vlack Media

Facilitated by:
Ixchel García, women’s empowerment guide
Valeria Ortiz, visual artist


Participants can expect to:

  • Feel seen, heard, and supported
  • Express themselves through art and writing
  • Build confidence and self-trust
  • Connect with other young Latinas in a nurturing environment
