Hispanic Heritage Month Author Talk with Yolanda Nava – Spanish

Online

Join us for an inspiring virtual conversation with Yolanda Nava — author, civil rights pioneer, and Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist — who, despite losing her sight suddenly, has never stopped using her voice to teach, inspire, and lead. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Yolanda will reflect on what it meant to step into activism as a young Chicana, how those early choices shaped her career and her life, and how each of us — through dedication to our communities — can make a deeper impact than we may ever realize.
