Being able to host a work retreat in Rosarito, Mexico was a dream come true for Leslie and the Latinx ParenTeam. There’s really nothing like having a good brainstorming session overlooking the ocean! So many semillitas were planted for the future and we’re starting to see some of the fruits of our labor.

—Gave a keynote at Orange County's “Take Action for Mental Health” fair at the Santa Ana Zoo

This year, Leslie and the Latinx ParenTeam hosted their 1st Annual Professionals Mixer for professionals in Southern California! What an honor and privilege it was to connect with old colleagues and meet new people eager to do their part to #EndChanclaCulture in the communities they serve. (We're doing it again in February! Stay tuned if you are local to Orange County, CA)

Our social media campaigns with some of our valued partners really made an impact in growing our Scholarship Fund. Thanks to UnderstoodCarnegie HallPlanned ParenthoodZócalo Health, and Mamás con Poderwe’ll be able to continue offering scholarships in 2023 to those who need them as well as offer a free workshop in Spanish in February 2023!

2022 was a year filled with exploration, good times, and unforgettable memories! The Latinx ParenTeam had a blast at Universal Studios, which was super healing for their inner niñes. Leslie and Karissa also attended and represented Latinx Parenting at the We All Grow Latina Summit in Palm Desert.

This year, we built our very own virtual school called Escuelita! You can now access all of our workshops, courses, and offerings in one easy place.
