Details:

This panel is intended to further the conversation initiated by the founding members of the #dignidadliteraria campaign, Myriam Gurba; David Bowles; and Roberto Lovato regarding Latinx representation, diversity and inclusion in publishing. As a follow-up to the initial conversation held early February, between the Founders of the DignidadLiteraria we want to ensure that the conversation continues and that we update our community of writers on what has transpired since #DignidadLiteraria’s initial conversation with the BIG FIVE.
