This event will feature Carlos Andres Gomez, a Colombian American poet, speaker, actor, and author. Gomez is an award winning author who has written extensively upon race, gender, sexuality, and violence. In this hallmark event for Festival Latinx, Gomez will explore the complexities of rigid gender roles and "machismo" within the Latinx community. Our hope is that students leave the conversation understanding subconscious biases and gender roles that they may carry as a result of ideologies present within the Latinx community.
