Celebrated from September 15 to October 15, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities. This month, we’re proud to highlight just a few of the many leaders, advocates, and creators whose lived experiences reflect the importance of intersectionality—where Hispanic heritage and disability come together to shape identity, voice, and impact. To read more about the five featured individuals and their stories select the banner or this link: 2025 Hispanic Heritage Month Bios.
