As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, D&A recognizes the incredible contributions of our Hispanic and Latino/a/e friends, neighbors, and colleagues. From advocacy to equity-driven initiatives, we’re committed to lifting up all voices and ensuring that everyone’s story is heard. You might wonder, what’s the difference between Hispanic and Latino/a/e? 🤔 Hispanic refers to individuals with roots in Spanish-speaking countries, emphasizing language. On the other hand, Latino/a/e refers to people from Latin American countries, focusing on geography, regardless of whether they speak Spanish, Portuguese, or Indigenous languages. Both terms celebrate vibrant, diverse cultures that enrich our communities in unique ways. This month, we honor the history, culture, and influence of these communities, who continue to inspire our work toward a more inclusive, just society. #HispanicHeritageMonth #EquityFirst #CelebrateDiversity #InclusionInAction

Latino Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the diverse cultures, histories, and significant contributions of Latinos. While we honor the achievements and vibrant heritage, it’s also essential to reflect on the challenges the Latino community continues to face. What are you doing to understand Latino history and contributions, and how are you addressing issues like equity, representation, and access that impact this community? Let’s continue the work of lifting up Latino voices and driving meaningful change. #LatinoHeritageMonth #MariposaAnalytics

As we celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth, I’m reflecting on the history, culture, and accomplishments of the Hispanic community that have greatly influenced my life. I married into this rich culture over 20 years ago when I married Jessica Polizzotto, LSW. My wife's mother from Puerto Rico, and her father an immigrant from Cuba. Over the years, I've had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the traditions, amazing food, and incredible music that are now a part of my family’s everyday life. I think about how lucky my daughter is to grow up with so many diverse family traditions. Yet, beyond the joy, I’ve also seen the challenges that come with balancing cultures. My wife and her family often speak a blend of mostly Spanish and some English—most times I catch the meaning of what they are talking about, other times, not so much (especially when I’m focused on my Arroz con Gandules in front of me!). But there are times when, depending on the location, the conversation shifts entirely to English. When I ask about it, my wife explains how sometimes speaking Spanish doesn’t feel welcome in certain spaces. This makes me reflect on the workplace—do we create environments where everyone feels safe to speak their first language? Or are there unspoken signals that discourage them? As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s not only celebrate the contributions but also ensure we’re fostering inclusive environments where all languages and cultures are embraced. #InclusionMatters #CulturalDiversity #LatinxHeritage #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #HRLeadership #HispanicHeritageMonth #Diversityandinclusion #LanguageInclusivity #LeadershipDevelopment

Latinos are a driving force in today's workforce, but they face unique challenges in their career journeys. Coqual's report reveals that many feel forced to conform, which can hinder their potential and lead to dissatisfaction. This isn't just a problem for Latinos; it's a missed opportunity for businesses. It's time to create workplaces where everyone feels safe to be themselves. #AuthenticityAtWork #DiversityWins

What is the Latino Difference? ⁠ ⁠ We get our hands dirty. Latinos come by honest work honestly, and love the satisfaction of a job well done. The hands that continue to build America aren't afraid to get into the messy middle of problems and work until they're solved.⁠ ⁠ We think outside the box. We've never been in it. Unlimited by the status quo, we have fresh perspective. Our chameleon-like adaptation skills give us ideas born from the best of each culture and the boldness to make something new.⁠ ⁠ We do it for all of us. Latinos know that we're better together. While myopic visionaries create a future for one person or company to succeed, we create ⁠ room for communities, families, and individuals to thrive–all of them. ⁠ ⁠ #Latino #latinoleadership #IthacaStreetPartners
