Curls, Coils, and Waves: The Afro-Latina Experience
Hosted by the NYU Latinx Alumni Network, join this panel conversation on Afro-Latinindad and an exclusive sizzle reel preview screening of I’m Not My Hair, a documentary by Cynthia Bastidas chronicling the natural hair journey of an Afro-Latina woman, Cristina Garcia de Leon, and the various ways anti-Blackness manifests itself in the everyday life of Afro-descendant women.
The short screening and discussion will be the starting point for a panel discussion with Afro-Latina women professionals, scholars and artists. They will be discussing their work and personal experiences with the topic and their own relationship with their identities. The event will conclude with a reception. This event is co-sponsored by The Latinx Project.

Tanya K. Hernandez, Professor at Fordham University School of Law, Author of Racial Innocence
Leiry Santos, Assistant Director of the Center for Multicultural Education and Programs at NYU
