 advocacy intersect to create real, lasting change. Drawing from her work

 lead solutions rooted in care, dignity, and collective 
 power.\n\nParticipants will hear stories from the ground, lessons learned 
 during moments of crisis and resilience, and reflections on how joy, 
 culture, and solidarity are not just values, but strategies for survival 
 and transformation. The conversation will invite attendees to reflect on

 behind.\n\nKatia Padilla is a Latina, first-generation business owner,
