What Does Belonging Look Like?

Is it the new LatAm/Hispanc leader making its way through the corporate/department culture?

Is it in the worker bent sixteen hours in the fields, so we can eat?

In the roofer under the sun, piecing together the homes where we live?

The nurse’s aide, awake at 3 a.m., caring for someone’s grandfather?

A student, afraid of deportation, still daring to dream?

The soldier, wearing a uniform for a country that questions him?

In the citizen, protesting injustice, afraid of being slammed to the floor?

Could it be… all of them?

All of us? ¿Todos nosotros?

And what will belonging look like on the biggest stage of all.

The Super Bowl.

When Bad Bunny steps out.

No translation. No apologies.

Just pride.

Some will try to diminish it.

But belonging doesn’t need permission.

It simply is.

We belong. Siempre hemos pertenecido.

Belonging isn’t passive.

It’s something we foster.

In our workplaces. In our neighborhoods.

In our families.

Let’s not wait for the next halftime show or headline to remind us, let’s create spaces every day where everyone knows:

You are home here. Tú estás en casa aquí.
