We aspire to be inclusive.

​

Spanish is a gendered language differentiating between masculine and feminine terms through words like "Latina" and "Latino."

Latinx, Latine are NOT MEANT to replace, Latino or Latina, but to include other identities and forms of expression.

Our Labels

Latinx

Latinx was cultivated and is now often used as a gender-neutral neologism (Clarín).

​

Latinx is a term used as an identifier for a spectrum of identities, where the intersectionalities from many Latinx are acknowledged. ( Update Me Pinellas Narrative Doc).

To learn more about the origins of "Latinx," listen to this interview from Latino USA.

Latino/Latina

Latino/Latina refers to anyone born in or with ancestors from Latin America and living in the U.S., including Brazilians.

​

​

​

​

Hispanic

Hispanic: Government assigned term, used to group people only from Spanish-speaking Latin America, including those countries/territories of the Caribbean or from Spain itself.

​

Latine

Latine is also a gender-neutral form of the word Latino, created by gender non-binary and feminist communities in Spanish-speaking countries. The objective of the term is also to remove gender from Spanish, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter E, which can already be found in words like estudiante.

Our Thoughts

Identities do not create a monolith. We appreciate identities are dimensional, intersectional, and complex. Mi Gente Mi Pueblo believes Latinx/e equity is most impactful with an inclusive mindset.

We understand discourse, perceptions, and feelings towards these terms are complicated. For example, we can challenge these labels on a foundational level; Latin can be viewed as a colonizer term. Some of us feel empowered by new inclusive terms. Some Latino/a have a strong sense of pride in their roots and traditional labels. And so many of us feel invisible in our communities, in en la Lucha, or somewhere in-between.

​

We use Latinx/e interchangeably on our site to include and honor all that make up our Mi Gente community. We invite people to identify as they choose. We recognize the diversity of cultures and ethnicities within the Latinx umbrella. Progress and healing fuel our work and impact - and this is why we include ALL in the conversation towards justice and equity.

Our focus for this year’s conference: The Intersectionality of Privilege, Power, Responsibility, and Belonging, aims to better understand privilege and the responsibilities that come with it. How can you use your privilege to advocate for marginalized and underserved communities? Our goal is to highlight the relationship between privilege and power, and how this in turn impacts the issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

About:

Each Year, the Embracing Our Changing Community conference, brings together a variety of presenters, service providers, professionals, educators, community organizers, students and more; to learn about diversity, equity and inclusion issues. During the past 14 years, this conference has addressed many diversity-related topics including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic divides, gender, culture, sexuality, abilities/disabilities, religion and more.

We live in a complex and globalized society in which intercultural interaction is a necessity. We find diversity all around us in many forms; this conference’s goal is to explore new and positive strategies that can be applied with the purpose of creating an inclusive community where everyone feels welcome, valued and equipped to thrive.

The conference has come a long way in the past 14 years, but we still need your support. Your generous contribution will help us extend our reach to the community and beyond. This conference provides best practices to over 500 professionals, and offers an interactive, virtual, half-day event, full of vibrant, engaging, and educational speakers. Previous sponsorship also allowed us to provide scholarships to our emergent youth leaders.
