Description
Latinitas, an Austin-based nonprofit organization, is dedicated to empowering all girls to innovate through media and technology, providing direct digital media and tech training and esteem-boosting services to girls and teens across Texas annually. Latinitas envisions a future in which all Latinas are courageous leaders, and are strong and confident in their image.
