MEX talks is an annual speaker showcase created by Latinos Progresando to give Mexican and Mexican American leaders the platform to reflect on a shared identity and tell stories to inspire positive change.
This unique, highly-anticipated forum convenes a range of voices, including entrepreneurs, lawyers, students, teachers, and nearly everything in between. And just as the stage has been given to our most established community figures, MEX talks has expressly sought to elevate emerging leaders, whose stories haven’t yet been told.
Centering the voices, expertise, and experiences of Mexican@s in Chicago and beyond, the 10th annual MEX talks will celebrate The Joy of Being Mexican.
Join us for a celebration and reflection on the vibrancy and resilience of Mexican culture past, present and future on Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 6pm.
MEX talks is now sold out. Please visit Latinos Progresando’s YouTube to watch our livestream.
