How can I celebrate?
From the comfort of your own home, you can make a plan to order regularly from local Latinx owned restaurants and businesses…
Try ending your days this month by cozying up in bed with a good book by a Latinx author, like the semi-autobiographical “Drown” by Dominican American author Junot Díaz, the magical realism novel “The House of the Spirits” by Isabel Allende, or “La paloma y la ley”—a harrowing photojournalist account of two Cuban migrants making the dangerous voyage to the U.S. border. Those with kids (or not!) will love re-reading classic books from their childhood, such as “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros.
