BLM in Spanish
Graphic Designer, Translator, Organizer

During the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, I found that material to explain the carceral state and racism online was limited to English-speaking audiences and made it harder to have these conversations with my own family. I used my college background in American Studies of Race, design expertise, and experience in Spanish translation to create Instagram posts that could inform Spanish-speaking communities across the United States. This project allowed me to research and gather language to engage my own community members and the posts were shared across thousands of accounts by individual users.
