  • Loving this illustration by @craftychica! The Latinx community in Arizona (and throughout the country) has the power to create real change thru their vote this election but before you can vote, you have to be registered. Register, update your registration, or sign up to vote by mail - check out @craftychica for the link, stay there for the DIY (cause we could all use some DIY in our lives). πŸ—³οΈ ・・・ #Repost 🎨: @craftychica β€œVOTE 2020! πŸ™ŒπŸ½ Did you know Arizona is now a deciding state? It’s exciting to know our community is going to impact this election. 🌡 I’m proud to work with @NextGenAmerica to make an effort to reach our community who aren't currently registered and to remind people how much collective power our community has. It’s about sharing information so they can educate themselves about what matters to them, and then register to vote - and then actually vote on election day. So check-in with your family and friends and make sure they are and/or get registered to VOTE. #LatinxVoteAZ”

  • Si Se Puede! βœŠπŸ½πŸ¦‹ Congratulations, @itzel_mariaaaaaaa! Next stop: Masters Degree. ⚑️ . β€œAt four years of age I was brought to the United States. Although young, I always understood the meaning and danger of my undocumented status. Growing up, I was forced to work twice as hard as everyone else to reach my goals. To fund my education, I have worked in the fields every summer since the age of 14; and although the work was arduous and backbreaking to the point where I lost 20 pounds one year, I always learned valuable lessons from incredibly humble, hardworking and wise farmworkers. ⁣ ⁣ Only some of us understand the struggle of living in a country where we are constantly reminded that we don’t belong; feeling trapped without the ability to feel free. I’ve been called an alien, an illegal and other dehumanizing names meant to strip my identity away from me but through hard work, strength and determination; my parents and I have come out victorious. I have never given up, that has never been an option for me and I will continue to persevere. Through God’s help, I have fulfilled various leadership roles. Now⁣ graduating with Honors, a 3.9 gpa, no debt and with a degree in Social Work and History. ⁣ ⁣ This summer, I will continue my education at the University of Washington’s Master of Social Work Advanced Standing Program. Esto es para mis padres y familia, mi victoria es suya. πŸ‡²πŸ‡½β£β€ . #LuzCollective #AlphaLatina #LatinaGrads #EducatedLatinas #EducatedLatina #LatinasWithDegrees #classof2020 #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #sisepuede #latinapower #latina #latinx #fiercewomen #strongwomen #girlboss #bossbabe #latinaempowerment

  • A new documentary from @vice in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month sheds light on the mental health crisis young Latinas across the country are currently undergoing. Latina teens in the U.S. have disproportionately high rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts compared to their male and white counterparts. To watch the full documentary, search for "The Kids Are Not Alright: The Mental Health Crisis Affecting Latina Teens." on YouTube. . Thank you @paoramos @laragheintz @luisaconlon @dema_gabby and to the brave Latinas in the video for sharing their stories and starting the conversation about mental health in the Latinx community. ✊🏽 #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth

  • Places are starting to reopen, but that does not mean COVID-19 is gone. It's still important to practice social distancing by wearing your mask, staying 6 feet apart from each other, washing your hands frequently and staying home as much as possible. . . #LuzCollective #covid19 #stayhome #stayhomestaylives #wearyourmask

  • #AlphaLatina Marivette Navarrete (@marivetteinmia) is the jefa and founder of @themujerista. ✨ Navarrete created The Mujerista after noticing the lack of conversations and stories of millennial women with Hispanic and Latin American heritage. In under 3 years, The Mujerista has grown to become a safe and empowered space for Latinas to share their stories, cultivate new connections, and bring the Latinx community together. 🌹 . . . #LuzCollective #themujerista #Latinapower #latinapride #latinaboss #latinapround #latina #latinx #jefa #chingona #latinxowned #fiercewomen #strongwomen #latinaempowerment #feminist #womensupportingwomen #girlboss #bossbabe #latinabusiness #latinabusinessowner #latinaentrepreneur #latinastyle #latinacreators
