What does it mean to you to be part of the Latinx community?

Being part of the Latinx community is something that I’ve always been very proud of and is a big part of my identity. It means it's my responsibility to represent and share my culture in a positive way. It also means I need to be an example of positive change within the community that supports LGBTQ+, does not stigmatize mental health, and does not perpetuate Machismo culture.
