Presentation Title
Dichos: The Difficulties of Being Known
Session Number
Breakout session #1
Location
Sutherland Auditorium
Description
In Latino culture, "dichos" are a fun and humorous way of relating to each other by saying something, without saying it literally. This workshop will focus on the importance of telling our stories and being "known" in spite of the numerous obstacles we might face. Often times, as we share, we can feel minimized, argued, or blocked. Through my story, I will explore what keeps us from becoming bitter or apathetic when we feel treated unjustly or with prejudice.
