I attended the LULAC National Convention’s Presidential Awards Banquet on Friday to hear from Latino leaders about representation in local, state, and national politics. Thank you, Ramon Palomares for your leadership and Ish Arebalos for Coca-Cola’s table sponsorship. Great entertainment from Fort Worth’s own Latin Express!

The rain blessed the morning and we participated in the annual Opal’s Walk for Freedom. We gathered to walk together in unity to honor Juneteenth and Dr. Opal Lee’s work for freedom, unity, and resilience.
