WJA NY Metro | In The Know, The Importance of Language in Latinidad
For this year's In The Know, we are excited to announce that we will be gathering at the Cosmopolitan Club in NYC and will be joined by our keynote speaker, Jade Cintrón Báez!
Led by a Latina of color, be ready to challenge your use of language personally and professionally, understand the nuance of Race in the Latino/a/x community, languages, and identity, and how these factors will help you be a business ally that listens and engages in a meaningful way.
What you will learn during this valuable “In The Know” session
1. Understanding why Latinos, though often called one name as a group, are not a monolith, and how that matters when you speak to potential clients, business partners and colleagues.
2. Speaking Spanish, Spanglish or just English and why understanding that nuance matters for your business deals.
3. The difference between the terms Latino/a/x, Hispanic
4. Intergenerational identity markers and how that can help you earn trust when doing business
5. Accents & Stereotypes of the Latino community
6. Racism & Colorism and the importance of empathy
