Programming example

In the first half of the year, our SOMOS Commanders ERG hosted a happy hour in DC. I was having such a rough week that I almost didn’t go. But throughout the day, SOMOS board members & coworkers kept asking, “You’re coming tonight, right?” I finally decided to show up—just to support. I had no idea Rosemary L. Campbell had a whole speech planned to thank me for the work, dedication, and advocacy I’ve poured into making sure our Hispanic/Latino roots are represented within the Commanders and to our fans. When I got back to my car, I cried from pure joy. 🥹❤️Sharing this to say THANK YOU to my SOMOS friends (Lucia Mitnik , Isaac Gonzalez , Chris Ortega )… and to remind people how important ERGs really are. This group saw me in a way others may never acknowledge, and I’m so grateful. Stay involved, keep showing up, keep fighting and doing the work. You never know who’s watching. ✨
