THIS PROGRAM PROMOTES COLLECTIVE ACTION IN THRIVING CONDITIONS AND INFORMS CULTURALLY SENSITIVE HEALTHCARE PRACTICES. THE LATINX* COMMUNITY IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA FACES PERVASIVE DISCRIMINATION AND TRAUMA THAT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIR MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL COHESION. ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (APA), LATINX IMMIGRANTS ENCOUNTER EXTREME CHALLENGES - RANGING FROM POVERTY AND POLITICAL PERSECUTION TO VIOLENCE, RACISM, AND COLORISM - BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THEIR IMMIGRATION JOURNEY. THESE EXPERIENCES OFTEN RESULT IN SEVERE ETHNO-RACIAL TRAUMA, ADVERSELY IMPACTING PHYSICAL HEALTH, MENTAL WELL-BEING, SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACADEMIC AND CAREER SUCCESS. COMPOUNDING THESE CHALLENGES, A HARVARD HEALTH STUDY - CITED IN PSYCHOLOGY TODAY - SUGGESTS THAT WRITING CAN PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN HEALING FROM TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. THE STUDY INDICATES THAT WRITING ENABLES INDIVIDUALS TO BETTER REGULATE THEIR EMOTIONS AND CONSTRUCT NARRATIVES THAT HELP THEM PROCESS AND REFRAME THEIR TRAUMAS. DESPITE THE CLEAR BENEFITS OF CREATIVE EXPRESSION AS A HEALING TOOL, LATINX VOICES REMAIN UNDERREPRESENTED IN SPACES THAT FACILITATE SUCH TRANSFORMATIVE PRACTICES. THIS LACK OF ACCESSIBLE, CULTURALLY SENSITIVE HEALING ENVIRONMENTS LEAVES A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN ADDRESSING THE DEEP-SEATED, GENERATIONAL TRAUMA EXPERIENCED BY THE COMMUNITY. 14856 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL X AARON ZARATE 8133686900 6205 N FLORA VISTA AVE TAMPA FL 33604 X JESSICA ESTEVEZ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 20.00 X X 0 0 0 SYLVIA ACEVEDO CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ISHA DEL VALLE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ARIADNE MIRANDA SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY DEVITTO AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PEDRO PEDRAZA AT-LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9150 25121 34271 34271 0 0 0 4266 3066 1200 47 47 6654 6654 529 529 ARTIST SUPPORT 6139 6139 EVENT SPACE - PROGRAM 3490 3490 MODERATION/SPEAKERS - P 1349 1349 MEALS - PROGRAMS 812 812 23286 14856 8430 0 14788 25773 1025 1025 15813 26798 0 0 X 15813 25298 1500 15813 26798 15813 26798 10985 0 X 0 0 0 X 20508 34271 54779 20508 34271 54779 54779 54779 X FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE BOARD WAS PROVIDED A COPY OF THE COMPLETED 990 IN ADVANCE OF A SPECIAL SESSION BOARD MEETING IN WHICH THE BOARD WAS ABLE TO INQUIRE ON AND DISCUSS THE RESPONSES.
