We're excited to partner with Macondo and Letras Latinas for a free workshop focused on the foods that have influenced our individual experiences. Through this exploration with award-winning author Michelle Otero, we will use food as a means of reconnecting with our childhood selves and finding deeper significance. This workshop is limited to 15 participants and will be filled on a first-come basis.
