Youth Empowerment Through Community Organization with Michel Salazar
Welcome to the third and final episode of our Pass the Mic: Dia De Los Muertos in Worcester series with our guest host Raquel Castro Corazzini, Director of Casita Cultura Latina. This week, Raquel talks with Michel Salazar, coordinator of volunteers for Dia De Los Muertos about the upcoming event on Saturday, October 29th as well as their different experiences immigrating to Worcester and the challenge and beauty that comes with existing in different cultures at once. Michel highlights the impact that local mentors have made on her life and how she wants to be a role model to and empower fellow young adults to get involved in community organizations.
Thank you so much to our first guest host, Raquel Castro Corazzini, and guests Valarie Zolezzi-Wyndham and Michel Salazar for taking the time and effort to help bring important community topics and perspectives to our space of Public Hearing.
