Latinx Well-Being videos

Below are the best videos we could find on Latinx Well-Being.

Latinx, Hispanic, or Latino/Latina are all terms that attempt to encapsulate a wide range of identities. While many of us see these terms as equating and erasing the unique experiences and traditions of a vastly diverse population, it can also be helpful in finding the shared struggles, strengths, and wisdom found in the broader Latin American experience, especially in a time where we face deep structural barriers to full well-being. Because of the higher proportion of documentation and immigration status concerns in our communities, we are often deprived of resources and protections from the state that many others take for granted—while at the same time being systematically targeted by state agencies and industries eager to take advantage of the vulnerable among us. Our path to well-being often centers around separation, connection, and belonging—finding ways to take up our space in joy and fullness of being.
