The Ultimate Guide To Being A Latinx And Hispanic Community Ally

It's well known that the Gen-Z and millennial generations are more passionate about social justice and conscious about their decisions as consumers as any other generation to come before us.

For these generations, making mindful decisions about where we like to allocate our money, who we choose to follow on Instagram, and even the books we like to read are extremely important to us. With the rise of the digital age, we are constantly consuming media and content, and so there's no longer an excuse for being uneducated if we want to be educated on a wide range of cultures.

But, we don't just make these decisions for ourselves — we do it because we want to uplift and support disadvantaged communities. Hispanic Heritage Month takes place from September 15 to October 15, and we've been more mindful than ever about giving our support to the Hispanic and Latinx communities so that we can continue to encourage and lift them every day of the year.

Whether you're supporting Hispanic and Latinx influencers on Instagram or doing your next online shopping splurge at a Hispanic or Latinx-owned retailer, these are ways you can continue to uplift the Hispanic community.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
