September 15th marked the official start of Latinx Heritage Month! This month serves as a reminder that Latinx history and culture is American history and culture. We take this month as an opportunity to acknowledge the tireless contributions made to the United States by Hispanic and Latinx communities, while also allowing us the space to continue learning about the traditions, struggles, and stories of these communities as well.
Throughout the course of the month, we will be highlighting our Latinx AF community and just how important their culture and heritage is to them. Make sure to tune into our page all month long!

Meet Kasi, a shining star from Achievement First Iluminar Middle School in Providence, Rhode Island!
From her first drawings at age 2 to earning awards, Kasi’s passion for art has always been undeniable. But it’s her love for dance that has truly taken center stage. At just 3 years old, Kasi began dancing, and now, her dedication and talent have earned her the prestigious PPAC Arts Scholarship!
Kasi’s journey is a testament to her hard work, the support of her family, and the opportunities provided by her school and community programs. We couldn’t be more proud of her and can’t wait to see where her talent takes her next!
Check out Kasi’s full story at the link in our bio!
