Hispanic Heritage Month
As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans who have shaped our communities, culture, and future. This month, we spotlight two remarkable women whose voices continue to inspire and create lasting change across generations. Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month: Voices That Inspire.
Isabel Allende | Choose to Live, Not Just Exist
At 82, celebrated author Isabel Allende declares she's more passionate about life now than she was at 20.
Her remarkable journey, marked by resilience, storytelling, and an unwavering zest for life, offers profound lessons for all of us.
In her inspiring TED Talk, Allende shares her blueprint for passionate living at any age.
Her central message? Passion isn't reserved for the young—it's a choice we make every single day. Whether we're 20 or 80, we can choose to engage fully with life by staying curious, embracing new experiences, and continuing to take meaningful risks.
Her words remind us that the fire in our hearts doesn't have to dim with time. In fact, it can burn brighter.
Dolores Huerta | From "Sí, Se Puede" to Social Change
"Sí, se puede!" — "Yes, we can!" This powerful rallying cry didn't start as a political slogan. It began with civil rights activist Dolores Huerta in the 1970s, and it became the foundation of a lifetime dedicated to fighting apathy and injustice.
At 95, Huerta continues to prove that every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.
In her inspiring TED Talk, she reflects on decades of civil rights work with her signature wit and humor, offering a roadmap for anyone feeling powerless or disconnected.
Her message is clear: apathy is a choice, and so is action.
Whether you're fighting for workers' rights, social justice, or simply trying to make a difference in your community, Huerta shows us that our individual voices matter and when we use them together, we can create unstoppable change.
