Lee Ann Irizarry will present a 4 part documentary series entitled Latins Speak. The mini documentaries will cover social issues not discussed in the Latin community. They will cover topics such as Naturalization, Color (internal racism), Political affiliation, and Sexual Orientation. Through this series, the intent is to create a platform that will spark discussion on topics that Latins tend NOT to talk about. The short documentaries will be used as teaching devices in high schools and colleges to teach the art of communication and listening.
