Honoring Heritage, Embracing Legacy: A Deeper Look into Hispanic Heritage Month
Every fall, Hispanic Heritage Month offers the United States a moment to pause and celebrate the rich cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Beyond the vibrant music, flavorful cuisine, and colorful traditions lies a powerful narrative of resilience, migration, and identity. This month serves not only as a tribute to the roots of individuals from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, but also as a mirror to the enduring impact these communities have on America’s cultural and historical fabric. From wartime sacrifice to everyday perseverance, the stories of Hispanic Americans—like those of a grandfather who fought in WWII or immigrant parents who carved out new lives—embody a profound legacy of strength. These stories aren’t distant echoes; they live on in today’s professionals, leaders, and innovators who carry their heritage with pride. At companies like Icertis, Hispanic Heritage Month is not just a corporate observance, but a deeply personal celebration of family, identity, and purpose. Join Brina Antuna and Kat Mirabal, co-leads of the UNIDOS ERG at Icertis, as they reflect on their own journeys and the significance of this heritage month.
