Creative Justice Panel at the DNC Shared History Shared Agenda (DNC 2024)

As the Director on set and Creative Director for the two-part panel conversation on AfroLatinidad, hosted by the Hispanic Federation and Creative Justice Initiative, I led the creative vision and execution of this impactful event. The panels provided a historical overview of Afro-Latines in the Americas and explored the demographic and cultural landscape of Afro-Latines in the U.S. today. By coordinating with the nation’s leading academics, policymakers, and civil rights activists, I ensured that their stories and insights were effectively captured and shared, bringing this important conversation to a broader audience.
