Latino Heritage Month at The Inclusive Dojo
As we kick off Latino Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15), The Inclusive Dojo is honored to recognize the vibrant contributions, rich traditions, and resilience of Latino and Hispanic communities. This celebration is more than just a tribute; it’s an opportunity to deepen our understanding and appreciation of the diverse experiences that shape our world.
La Familia: The Heart of Latino Culture
Family (la familia) is the cornerstone of Latino culture, emphasizing connection, support, and unconditional love. This sense of community extends beyond immediate family, embracing neighbors, friends, and the broader community.
A Month of Celebration, A Lifetime of Contributions
Latino Heritage Month commemorates the anniversaries of independence for several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Chile. It’s a time to recognize the:
- Artistic expressions of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera
- Literary works of Gabriel García Márquez and Julia Alvarez
- Musical rhythms of salsa, merengue, and bachata
- Culinary traditions of tacos, empanadas, and arroz con pollo
