Multiple Dates - Group Coaching with the Latina Healing Institute (LHI) - Online Class
Our cultural heritage is a vital part of who we are, but very often we have negative experiences because of the way others perceive us based on their expectations of what being Latinx means. When we are focused on dealing with internalized prejudice – be it that of others or even our own – we do not have time or energy left to realize our true potential.
