  • Its Friday and Day 5 of the Institute! Cant believe
    1 month ago by accionlatinasf It’s Friday and Day 5 of the Institute! Can’t believe we graduate from the program tomorrow! My brain was stretched today with conversations on budgets, governance and language. I learned that budgets aren’t just numbers—they’re about the values we associate with our work. Might be obvious, but it felt like a moment because when you reframe it like this you question why we pay consultants more than community leaders who also facilitate and guide our work. We also visited the Say Si organization in San Antonio. Can I say “¡Guao!” What an amazing and beautiful place!  #Nalaqueros   #NLI2019   #LatinoNationTime   #equitableBudgets

  • This is still Ftima Ramrez reporting from San Antonio TX
    1 month ago by accionlatinasf This is still Fátima Ramírez reporting from San Antonio, TX. It’s Day 3 of my participation in NALAC’s Leadership Institute. Yesterday Dr. Tomas Ybarra-Frausto said, “Artists build what is not here,” and it got me thinking about the superpower artists have to advocate for ideas that create our imagined future. Like Evonne Gallardo said “Art in society is not the icing but the flour in the cake.” Artistic minds are valuable assets to solving our problems so not only is it worth it to advocate for the arts but it’s absolutely necessary to reshape our present and open doors for

  • Bueno today was Day 2 at the NALAC Leadership Institute
    1 month ago by accionlatinasf Bueno today was Day 2 at the NALAC Leadership Institute, and there are a lot of lessons I’m chewing on. Two questions posed by Dr. Maribel Álvarez for all cultural partners to consider is “What would our community lose if we weren’t doing what we do?” “What is worth winning?” As Dr. Tomas Ybarra-Frausto said, “Culture is the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.”  #NoLlegamosAyer  “NoNosVamosMañana  #HereToStayAndRiseUp   #nalaqueros   #LatinoNationTime   #NLI2019  Also muchas gracias  @centrogaleriaeva  for welcoming us and nourishing us with delicious food, art and community!

  • This is Day 4 in San Antonio and we got
    1 month ago by accionlatinasf This is Day 4 in San Antonio and we got into the nitty gritty at NALAC’s Leadership Institute—fundraising, planning our artistic season, discussing the difference between a leader and a manager ( yup there’s a difference between initiating direction/change and maintaining systems and planning efforts). We also laughed, reflected and visited the McNay Museum particularly checking out their TransAmerica(n) exhibit celebrating transgender representation in art—this is what moving from artistic style to substance looks like.  #nalaqueros   #nli2019   #nalac   #latinoLeaders   #beyourselfeveryoneelseistaken   #hotchairsforrebelgirls
