We are aware that centering Latinx communities in public health can perpetuate common practices that have historically fostered health and social disparities across all populations.

As members of the named communities, through our mission, vision, and values, we uphold our duty to our beloved community. It is our ethical responsibility to uplift their narratives and leverage a public health toolkit that centers communities, uplifts emerging leaders, and innovates solutions for social impact, bringing us closer to closing gaps in racial health equity. 

Prospera strives for inclusion, welcoming all identities, appreciating diverse perspectives, and respecting individual values and convictions. Our intention is to amplify marginalized issues to further a public health discourse, not dominate it. 

To neighboring communities who share common values and lived experiences: we see you, we honor you, and we thank you for your contributions - you too are part of our story.
