Hispanic Heritage is not just One Month!
Hispanic Heritage month is coming to a close on October 15th – but celebrating the Latino culture is something we can do all year. Here’s 5 ways to keep the Latino Spirit Alive!
3. Spread the Hispanic Bienvenido (welcoming) spirit.
Each day find a way to share, be hospitable, and generous. Generosity is the heart of the Latino culture and can be found in the “golden rule” – Mi Casa es su Casa. Being generous can be giving a helping hand, a hug, listening, taking time for someone.
4. Look for ways to be inclusive and embrace diversity!
Latinos come in many colors: white, brown, red, chocolate, cafe and latte. We are a fusion people – mainly Spanish and the indigenous people of this hemisphere. Latinos love diversity and offer a model for how people with many faces and from many races can work together to build a better future for their famiies and the next generation.
Latinos work hard but enjoy life with GUSTO! So what can you do to put a little salsa in your life? Latinos value family and friends above all. Today how can you express your appreciation to those you love? And then there’s Mexican food – America’s favorite cuisine and Americas favorite mixed drink – a margarita. Oh yeah and o nce a week join the fun! Enjoy TACO TUESDAY!
Because of Hispanic inclusiveness, Latinos hold the promise of a new America – one with diversity and respect for differences at its core. Today as we seek to find the common ground that unites us – Latinos invite people to look to the cultural, spiritual, and historical bonds that hold us together. Their bienvenido spirit summons people to work together to build America’s Future and to ensure prosperity for future generations!
