Achieve's Unidos ERG Hosts Annual Pintar y Platicar (Paint & Chat) Evening for Hispanic/Latino Employees

Programming example

Last Friday, our Unidos Employee Resource Group (ERG) from Achieve hosted their annual Pintar y Platicar (Paint & Chat), and it was one of those moments that reminds me why community at work matters so much.

After a full week of meetings, phone calls, and deadlines, teammates came together to slow down, create with their hands, and connect through conversation. No agenda. No pressure. Just paint, shared stories, and the simple act of being present with one another. Every piece created was different, personal, and meaningful. Much like the people behind them.

A huge thank you to the Unidos ERG Steering Committee for thoughtfully planning, hosting, and bringing this experience to life, and a special shout‑out to Angie Torres and Stefany Torres for MC'ing the event and setting such a warm, welcoming tone for the evening. Their energy and care made a real difference.

What stood out most wasn't the finished artwork, but the atmosphere. A space where culture, creativity, and connection could naturally coexist. Events like this show how intentional moments of belonging strengthen teams, deepen trust, and carry into the way we show up for one another every day.
