Meet Daniel Martinon a program manager here at CHC he shares what Latinx Heritage Month means to him. “My name is Daniel, second generation Mexican – American born to immigrant parents. In my eyes, Latinx heritage month is all about celebrating our different cultures and sharing them with those around us. Whether that is the form of food, music or art – Latin influence is all around us. I celebrate my heritage by attempting to recreate my mother’s recipes and my love for food. I find that food brings a sense of community and an opportunity to make fond memories with those around us. Social gatherings with my friends are a perfect opportunity to share a few of my favorite dishes from my childhood, allowing those around me to learn more about my culture."#LatinxHeritageMonth ...
