The image celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, featuring Cristina Sanz, Raymond Martin, Danielle Perez, Jeison Aristizábal, and Andrea Lausell. Each photo is surrounded by colorful borders.

Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from September 15 to October 15, is a time to recognize and celebrate the cultural contributions and achievements of individuals of Hispanic heritage. This month-long observance honors the diverse histories, cultures, and experiences of Hispanic Americans and highlights their impact in shaping our communities.

We are excited to feature individuals with disabilities of Hispanic heritage in our banner photo. Their stories and achievement are a testament to the strength and diversity within our community. Learn more about their stories here: Hispanic Heritage Month Bios
