The Corazon De Aztlan Retreat has given opportunities to young people of color for 25 years. The two-day event is this weekend, and registration is still open.
TUCSON, Ariz. — A recent report by Zippia found 61.2% of leaders in the workplace are White, with only 17% of Hispanic and 12% of Black people in leadership roles. That’s one of the reasons the Corazon de Aztlan retreat is providing the tools and connections for BIPOC youth to get a head start on the path toward leadership.
“Developing a sense of pride, a sense of awareness of where they come from so they know where they’re at so they have a sense of direction of where they’re going. That matters because of their health and well-being,” said Chucho Ruiz, a Program Coordinator for CPLC’s Nahui Ollin Wellness Program. Now and for the past 20 years, he’s coordinated the retreat. He tells me his four daughters have also attended. While they found their voice in the experience, he led the way as a speaker, sharing his passion to establish healthy masculinity.
“We’re trying to create a space where young people can express themselves fully,” said Deidre Ramirez, CPLC Nauhi Ollin Wellness Coordinator.
