February 3 : Hablemos

Join Juliana Garcia in a discussion where we dive into topics that we don't normally have with Latine parents. We talk about the latest thing that our family, neighbor, or friend did last week but there are certain conversations that we avoid and brush under the table because they are uncomfortable to talk about. Those conversations usually involve topics that our generation may be open to but our parents' generation is not open to. Let’s have these conversations over some snacks and drinks.

Do you sometimes feel like you have to sacrifice your authenticity in order to fit in? Join us for our upcoming Café con leche event, "Drained: Coping with the Pressure to Conform as a Latine Student at Cornell," where we will explore the concept of "code-switching" and its impact on your life.

Our facilitator will guide you through interactive activities designed to help you reflect on your experiences, share insights with your peers, and learn practical strategies to navigate this phenomenon more effectively.
