NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- We Are All Human, a non-profit organization dedicated to diversity, inclusion and equity announced today their first-ever Hispanic Star Gala to be held December 8, 2021 at the Angel Orensanz Foundation of the Arts in New York. The Gala will recognize the advances made in the Hispanic community, despite the hardships of the past year, as well as mobilize support to continue accelerating progress.

"In a year that was difficult for everyone, the Latino community was hit faster and harder, in large part because Latinos were on the frontlines as essential workers. Yet, despite every obstacle, Hispanics remain the muscle of America's middle class — and are resilient and ready to come back. We are seeing enormous support from all corners, and we come together in unity of purpose and to celebrate at this Gala," said Claudia Romo Edelman, Founder and Chairwoman of We Are All Human.

We Are All Human's Hispanic Star initiative began two years ago, and is uniquely bridging the private, public and non-profit sectors to create programs targeted to remove barriers to growth faced by the Latino community.
