Hearing us: the youth of La Esperanza

The young adults from the La Esperanza neighbourhood who took part in the Cuentos del barrio: La Esperanza afrodescendiente workshops will share their stories and thoughts about the value of being reflected in a community publication. Together with Brillith Sossa Wilches, who has run the project, they celebrate the voice of their area and their Afro legacy.

Ages 14 to 17
