Hispanic Heritage Month Cross-Generational Special Episode

Welcome to another episode of The Generational View podcast, and this is a special one. We’re celebrating National Latinx & Hispanic Heritage month that kicked off on September 15, and in order to honor these cultures, we wanted to hear from a few valuable voices in the Latinx & Hispanic community. 

Hispanic Heritage month was created to prompt people to learn about the culture and the individuals themselves, their stories, their voices, their experiences. While our guests today share a common heritage, they each have lived completely different lives, from different cultures, and with different stories.

 

Our guests today

Elizabeth Costa is a Director of Internal Communications and Diversity and Inclusion at a major technology services company with a Bachelor’s of Science with Honors in NonProfit Management. Renata Garcia Prieto Palacios Roji is a Learning and Development at a major food and beverage corporation and Adjunct faculty in Positive Psychology with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, both a Master’s and PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Kenneth Jimenez is a Social studies teacher with a Bachelor’s of Arts in History, minor in Secondary Education.

 

What they’ll hear in this episode

 

• How one Gen Zer uses this month (and every month) to showcase his Hispanic roots, an opportunity he didn’t always have growing up 
• The influence that living in the U.S. has on how a native to the culture identifies herself. 
• The experiences of a 1st-generation Latinx-American, both the pride she carries and the tribulations that came with it.
