What does it Mean to be Latina?” Part II examined “The State of Latinas in El Paso” in matters of education, health, economic equality, among others. The Inaugural Summit will take data gathered at those two meetings to address the future and our role in contributing to the economic, educational, health and socio/political growth of our communities.  The summit will promote positive representation and appreciation of cultural traditions, historical accuracy, and language in its goal to ensure equal access and opportunity.
