It was a true pleasure to participate as a panelist in UNT Dallas’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration! I enjoyed being part of a meaningful conversation about the importance of community, cultural identity, belonging, and the connections that support our overall well-being. It was a wonderful opportunity to share personal experiences, hear different perspectives, and reflect on how we can continue fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone. And, of course, the churros made the occasion even sweeter!
