Thank you to everyone who joined us this past Wednesday for our Interpreter Practice Session ✨
This month, we focused on listening to and interpreting Black voices. We learned from Afro-Latine speakers, explored Black ASL, and practiced with the words of Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin.
Interpretation is not neutral. It calls for cultural awareness, humility, and deep listening. Honoring Black history also means honoring Black language in all its rhythm, power, and truth.
We’re grateful to be building these skills together in community 🫶🏽
More sessions are coming soon. Stay tuned!

As we reflect on five years of collective work, we’re filled with gratitude for the partnerships that make this possible: organizations and firms to grassroots leaders and community organizers. From expanding economic opportunities for community language workers to engaging thousands across our region, we remain committed to community-led planning and multilingual capacity-building that creates lasting change.

Al reflexionar sobre cinco años de trabajo colectivo, nos llenan de gratitud las asociaciones que lo hacen posible: organizaciones y empresas hasta líderes de base y organizadores comunitaries. Desde la ampliación de las oportunidades económicas para trabajadores de lenguaje de la comunidad hasta la participación de miles de personas en toda nuestra región, seguimos comprometides con la planificación dirigida por la comunidad y la creación de capacidades multilingües que generen un cambio duradero.

Nhìn lại năm năm làm việc tập thể, chúng tôi vô cùng biết ơn các mối quan hệ đối tác đã giúp chúng tôi thực hiện được điều này, từ các tổ chức và công ty cho đến các nhà lãnh đạo cơ sở và nhà tổ chức cộng đồng. Từ việc mở rộng cơ hội kinh tế cho những người làm công tác ngôn ngữ trong cộng đồng đến việc thu hút hàng ngàn người trên khắp khu vực của chúng ta, chúng tôi vẫn luôn cam kết với việc hoạch định do cộng đồng dẫn dắt và xây dựng năng lực đa ngôn ngữ để tạo ra sự thay đổi bền vững.
