This month we also got to celebrate completing the Communitas Ventures Accelerator Program! In the last four months, I have worked on refining Conectados and truly think about ways to make an impact within the Latino community in NYC. Cohort 11 was made up of inspiring social entrepreneurs, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the connections and growth during this time.

During the celebration, we also received items from previous cohort members who happened to be NYC based Latinx business owners.

I am so grateful to be a part of a community of individuals dedicated to creating social change. I am inspired to further connect with my community and work towards creating a positive social impact!
