MADE BY: SARAH TAYLOR 50 SHADES OF LATINA An intimate conversation focused on the diversity of Afro-Latina women and their role amongst the Latino community of our society. The 50 Shades of Latina Brunch event held at FAME Studios brought together many different women with diverse stories, perceptions and experiences. Sharing one thing in common - the identity of being Latina or have somehow embraced the Latina culture - these women discussed, examined and recognized the multiplicity within the Latina culture by embracing the prominence behind race, identity and the cultural aspects for Afro-Latinas. The vibrancy and liveliness that took place in the room was extremely touching and stimulating. MADE-MAGAZINE.COM 28 POP CULTURE CULTURE Photography: Blain Peckmann
