What it means to be Hispanic.\nSeptember 15th-October 15th is recognized as Hispanic Heritage month. But what does it even mean to be Hispanic? Is it a language\, a place of origin\, a race\, a way of life\, or something else?

Free street parking available along both sides of Grand Avenue (note – no parking at The Egyptian – those spaces are reserved for guests). \n—————– \nEvery other month join us for Coffee Talks – order a warm/iced beverage of your choice from rotating café locations around the valley\, get comfortable\, and bring your open mind to this productive discussion where NOMAarizona facilitators will ask the group questions and hold space to share\, listen\, and learn from each other in a casual setting. \nThis is intended to be a forum for discussion of ideas and for learning about differing viewpoints. In discussions around diversity and equity it is important to understand that everyone sees and experiences the world differently – what seems “right” in your experience may not be so in someone else’s. Everyone is asked to consider different perspectives\, for the purpose of sensitivity\, learning\, and growth. Members of NOMAarizona will typically be the facilitators for our discussions. We are not experts. We are simply here to help facilitate the process. We are here\, like everyone else\, to learn. \nIf you have a topic you’d like to chat about or a location to suggest – submit to jena.m.esquivel@gmail.com URL:https://nomaarizona.org/event/1363/ LOCATION:Chilte\, 765 Grand Ave\, Phoenix\, AZ\, 85007\, United States CATEGORIES:Coffee Talk,Networking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomaarizona.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Coffee-Talk-2023-04-22-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230411T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230411T191500 DTSTAMP:20260429T120805 CREATED:20230402T192354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230411T193532Z UID:1348-1681236000-1681240500@nomaarizona.org SUMMARY:Chapter Meeting - April 2023 DESCRIPTION:FREE event\nNon-members welcome\nComplimentary snacks + refreshments\nRSVP for the in-person meeting now!\nOptional RSVP ZOOM (if you are unable to attend in person)\n\nJoin us at Illumination Systems Phoenix office to learn about upcoming events\, committee happenings\, what we’ve been up to\, and the chance to raise your hand to get involved.

For those unable to be with their friends and family\, we decided to start a potluck-style casual gathering that we dubbed “home cooking away from home” consisting of our membership to fellowship with culturally familiar food and drink as a taste of home. \nThe event has evolved over the years and through COVID-19 to suit different needs – but we are thrilled to gather in person again this year at Steele Indian School Park under the ramada embracing the nice weather. Rather than potluck style – the main course will be catered HOWEVER we are asking our members to please bring a small dessert representative of their culture to share with the group if they would like. \nFriends are welcome! Please bring anyone you would like but be sure to RSVP so we know how much food to prepare. \n\nLocation details\nWe have reserved ramadas W1 and W2 near Lot A at the north west side near Bird Lake at Steele Indian School Park. \n \n \n  URL:https://nomaarizona.org/event/home-cooking-away-from-home/ LOCATION:Steele Indian School Park\, 300 E.
