This interactive workshop guides participants through every stage of developing a photovoice project, from identifying a purpose and designing culturally relevant prompts to facilitating discussions and translating findings into action. Attendees will explore ethical considerations related to consent, privacy, and ownership while examining real-world examples from Latino community initiatives. Through guided activities and planning exercises, participants will begin designing a photovoice project tailored to their own organization, community, or program area. The session emphasizes how storytelling can become a catalyst for community engagement, advocacy, and meaningful change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-width:1px\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Speakers<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-2 wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-b861f4ab wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-911 speaker type-speaker status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry event-from-stories-to-action event-welcome-ceremony speaker_type-all-speakers speaker_type-featured-speaker\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-element-6096a148\" href=\"https:\/\/latinxvoces.org\/summit\/speaker\/maria-d-otero\/\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-88832949 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d8dce8eb wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"1352\" data-media-id=\"1428\" class=\"gb-media-502a616e\" alt=\"Mar\u00eda D.
