Sonja Diaz appeared on KQED’s “Latino Vote” to discuss Latinos in the 2020 elections. “Thinking about the invisibility of Latinos, that this is not simply a political issue, but goes across all parts of our institutions, among society — not just newsrooms — but Hollywood and media and entertainment. To academia, to philanthropy. The lack of understanding about Latinos has generally led to this invisibility. Which has shown us during COVID-19 a disposability, and a lack of importance in the dignity — and the sacredness — of life.”
