The Fund for Women and Girls is hosting a free webinar focused on celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month through Dimensions of Diversity, featuring Guillermina Rios. It’s all part of the Fund’s monthly webinar series that highlights important work being done by women throughout Chester County. 

Guillermina Rios will lead attendees through an exercise designed to showcase the intricacies of identity – and how identity impacts people.  

Rios serves as the Director of Childcare and Camp Administration for the YMCA of Greater Brandywine, a YMCA association that operates eight childcare programs year-round and eight camp locations throughout the summer. She also leads the association’s Multi-Cultural Employee Resource Group, is responsible for training staff in Dimensions of Diversity, and serves on the Hispanic Latino Leadership Network for YMCA of the USA. 

Significance of Hispanic Heritage Month 

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually from Sep 15 – Oct 15. The month commemorates the cultures and contributions of Americans with ancestral roots in Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

“With the wide array of the diversity celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m especially excited to lead the Dimensions of Diversity webinar for The Fund this month,” Rios continues.

“People often think that their identity is singular – but our identities are made up of multiple lenses. I hope that many will join me on September 21 to learn more about the nuances of identity and to see the world through a different perspective.”
