In continued #celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth, Olga Abinader led an event at the Cannon Free Library in Dehli, NY, last week. She read books to local school children and shared her family’s experiences as Dominican-Americans who came to the US in pursuit of the American Dream. “I always say that representation matters,” said Olga, “and for me, learning from my family members working in fields related to urban and #environmentalplanning was a major inspiration while I was growing up. Now, as a leader at Matrix, I have the privilege of promoting #diversity and inclusion as a #BIPOC woman in STEM. One of the best ways to advance these principles is by educating our youngest citizens.” At the Cannon Free Library, Olga and the kids discussed the importance of Hispanic Heritage Month (which began on September 15, a day marking the independence of five Latin American countries) and enjoyed a conversation about #Latinx culture and music.

Honoring Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom and Progress Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marks the end of slavery in the United States.

Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone; it is a celebration of resilience, hope, and the continuous journey toward equality and justice. As we reflect on this day, let us honor the legacy of those who fought for freedom and those who continue to advocate for social justice and equality. In our professional lives, let us commit to fostering inclusive and equitable workplaces. Embracing diversity and championing equal opportunities for all is essential to driving innovation and success.

All of history and culture are important.
#Trailblazers ? Zitkala-Sa work for Native American rights and opportunities was her lifelong mission. Against her family’s wishes, she attended school and went on to become a teacher herself. She reformed curriculums that only included Euro-American history, disregarding Native American culture. She carried that passion through the rest of her life as she worked to uphold and advocate for Native American culture, citizenship rights, educational opportunities, health care, and more. It was for these efforts that she was recognized in 2023—the U.S. government honored Zitkala-Sa in its American Women Quarters Program, which features trailblazing women on quarter coin designs. Join us as we celebrate #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
