Proud to be Latino: Food / Comida
Latino culture spans Southern and Central America as well as the Caribbean, but often when we think of Latino foods, we think tacos, burritos, and other common Mexican dishes. Proud to Be Latino: Food/Comida teaches children how different Latino countries use similar ingredients to create unique regional dishes.
The Galvanizer Zine
Galvanizer Zine is a print based project that was birthed by myself and Andrea Reyes, the former Political and Executive Director during our time at Deeds Not Words. The Galvanizer, is an art and policy project curated in partnership with our community activists and Changemakers. We wanted to shift how policy is consumed and understood by young people by incorporating art to tell stories, raise awareness and inspire action. Since its launch in Spring 2019, there have been 10 issues ranging on different issue areas, while emphasizing the intersections of reproductive justice with other issues of importance to gender equity. The Galvanizer Zine has become so successful that I had the opportunity to present it at the Brand New Conference, an international conference for designers hosted in Austin, TX in 2022, as well as the Women's Convention in Houston, 2022.
