A Place to be Heard...

​
Your individuality is important, but so is belonging. Our House allows you to recognize the parts of your culture that have shaped your past, and the parts you want to carry with you into the future. 
                                      Sí se puede!
 

Nosotros Tambien Decidimos...

Y Decidimos Estar Aqui...!

"You are not lucky to be here. The world needs your perspective. They are lucky to have you.”

"As people of color, we have a potent power – and a responsibility – to change events around us, not just professionally, but spiritually and politically as well."

"The only limitation is self-imposed.”
