This year, NAAFA returned to IRL events for the first time in years. Learn more about why we started our Community Connect series and what’s in store for the future.
Each month, we feature educational resources in the NAAFA Newsletter to support our community in working to dismantle racism. Resources may include historical information, tools for personal reflection, or information about how to get involved and make change. Many of the resources we suggest will be introductory resources, and this information is never intended to be full coverage on the complex and nuanced topics that are chosen each month.
This month we invite you to join us in exploring resources about Latiné Heritage Month.
