About Café Mi Gente

Our goal is to give the Chicano/a community a place to learn about their history and also share their stories. We do not claim to be experts on this topic. In fact, that’s the point. We want the audience to learn as we learn and hear different perspectives of Chicano/a life. The end goal is to continuously answer the question “What does it mean to be Chicano/a?”.
