The threat of being stereotyped has been shown to not only have an effect on minorities by the way they engage at work\, but by having an influence in their leadership\, entrepreneurship\, and competitiveness. A way to fight these detrimental stereotypes that lead to some of the conscious and unconscious biases we may have against minority members we work with is by furthering our understanding of their culture and identity. The aim of this workshop is to help participants understand the diversity of Latin people that is present in the United States and that we may work with. By learning about the diversity of their identity and the diversity present in this multi-racial community\, we can help destroy the typical and detrimental stereotypes that currently exist of Latin Americans in our society.

The St. Louis Public Radio newsroom\, like other local media outlets\, covered the story. But the news organization decided it needed to do more. They tasked two people — reporters Tim Lloyd and Emanuele Berry — to design a project that would examine race in St. Louis. The result was the We Live Here Podcast.  \nThis month’s theme will be COVID-19 xenophobia as we listen to Asian-American persons from our community talk about the racism they faced at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
