💡 Presta atención...
Estaremos compartiendo información sobre *presupuestos y 9Rs*. Sí, lo leíste bien. *¿Finanzas y medio ambiente juntos?* Qué combinación, ¿cierto? 🤯 *¡Es como mezclar dinero con hojas verdes!* 🌱💵
Y por si fuera poco, el título del curso es: *"Liderazgo Sostenible en la Mujer."* ¿Sostenible y finanzas? *¡Qué contradicción! * 🤔
Pero no te preocupes, te prometemos que si te atreves a venir, tendrás que poner a prueba tu creatividad.💡
*¿Te mides? *¡Nos encantaría verte allí!* *Será presencial.*

Alexandra Garcia worked in collaboration with San José State University, the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, Mosaic America, and New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) to create “StoryMap” highlighting culturally significant ancestral heritage sites including the work to revitalize the Chochenyo language, dance, and regalia. These practices have sustained the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe’s cultural resilience and show how they continue to steward their ancestral homeland.
Learning about Muwekma land stewardship and cultural practices is an essential part of local solutions for regional climate resilience and justice. StoryMap - see link in bio.
