Welcome to the culmination of a semester of exploration, creativity, and dedication. Within these digital pages lies a testament to the vibrant voices and unique perspectives of students at Lehman College's Fall 2024 class of Latino Media. Inspired by literary giants like Gay Talese, Leila Guerriero, Martín Caparrós, and many more, these talented storytellers have delved into the depths of narrative journalism, weaving together tales that capture the essence of Latino experiences with finesse and authenticity. They conducted interviews, dedicated long hours to research, wrote their original profiles, and peer-reviewed drafts until they reached the final version.

This online book is more than just a collection of words; it's a mosaic of cultures, identities, and lived realities. From the bustling streets of New York City to the sun-drenched landscapes of Latin America, each story invites you to embark on a journey of discovery, empathy, and understanding. Join us as we celebrate the power of storytelling and the indomitable spirit of the Latino community, as seen through the lens of passionate students eager to share their narratives with the world.
