On Saturday, March 6, 94 people attended Loud Latinx, an Instagram livestream hosted by Champlain student Mila Alicea (‘24) and featuring three other Latinx students (from upper left: Alicea, Silvanna Najri Saladin (‘21), Joshua Leon Mejia (‘24), and Minerva Paulino (‘24)). They discussed how being Latinx has affected their experience on Champlain’s majority-white campus, and covered topics like the difference between race and ethnicity and why that matters; the oversexualization of Latinx individuals and how it affects their day-to-day comfort and safety; and how Champlain has responded to the reports they filed after experiencing microaggressions on campus.
