“Sexual Harassment is very damaging to one's mind. It can force us to be uncomfortable in our own bodies. It can make us feel like there is an overwhelming force that still has control over us, even though it might not be there anymore. We need to understand the impact our actions can have. We need to love and respect everyone's body, space, and mind.” - @honeybunn_lover2000 / @craboi6 (same person!)

This summit is a one-day gathering of Latine Theatre Artists designed to explore counter-narratives within the Latine diaspora in order to identify and share tools for healing. Let’s commit to new modes of collaboration between individual artists, theatres, and community for confronting and unlearning old dynamics and harmful practices. We imagine this to be an opportunity to awaken together to begin building new paradigms.
