Why Hispanic Heritage Month matters more than ever

The Hispanic community across America is united by a belief in the American Dream. This is a time to celebrate our contributions to this great country and set the record straight.

Hispanic progress is American progress. We are both 100% Hispanic and, in every fiber of our being, 100% American, too.  Claudia Romo Edelman is a social entrepreneur, an advocate and a catalyst for change. She is the Founder of the We Are All Human Foundation, a New York-based non-profit foundation, dedicated to advancing the agenda of diversity, inclusion and equity through developing and hosting global, national and regional events, conducting research and developing research pieces/publications, creating content and corporate activation. 

For non-Hispanics, it is a window into a community whose incredible diversity makes it hard to connect the dots in a way that tells a cohesive story. And there is one.  Under the banner of Hispanic Star, Romo Edelman is launching a new book series for young readers in September 2022. To coincide with the start of Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 15 (which runs through Oct. 15), the book series will shine a spotlight on the contributions and accomplishments of Americans of Hispanic heritage.

For all our differences in race, origin, religion, politics, occupation, socioeconomic status, and every other demographic and belief, the truth is that the Hispanic community comes together around one principle.
