Our Identidad 2024
Last year, Our Identidad celebrated along over 100 students and community poets through the Bicultural Poetry Program.
Last year’s launch showcased the power of poetry to connect communities, celebrate culture, and inspire confidence among attendants.
What started as a small bilingual workshop for Latinx youth has grown into a diverse space for self-expression, identity exploration, and creativity!
