## 2. 

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.

## 3. 

After what felt like a super long hiatus, Latinx Parenting safely returned to in-
person events.

## 4. 

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)

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](https://www.weallgrowlatina.com/summit-2022-videos/)
Summit in Palm Desert.

## 8. 

This year, we built our very own virtual school called [Escuelita](https://latinxparenting.org/escuelita/)!
You can now access all of our workshops, courses, and offerings in one easy place.
With the launch of Escuelita, parents, caregivers, and former Latinx kids will also
be invited to build community with others on a journey to #EndChanclaCulture.
