With deep roots in historic preservation and community advocacy, Sehila shares her inspiring journey from grassroots organizing to leading a national movement that centers Latinx stories, sites, and cultural memory.Under her leadership, the Conservancy recently unveiled the first-ever national list of Endangered Latinx Landmarks—a groundbreaking initiative that shines a spotlight on 13 culturally significant sites across the U.S. and Puerto Rico that are under threat from gentrification, neglect, demolition, and climate change. This campaign marks a pivotal moment in cultural preservation, and Sehila’s voice and the work of her small but mighty team is front and center in amplifying these stories and mobilizing communities to protect them.Explore the full list and learn more about the initiative on Latinos in Heritage Conservation’s official website: https://www.latinoheritage.us#LatinosInHeritageConservation#LatinxHeritageMatters#EndangeredLatinxLandmarks#PreserveOurStories#HealthCareUnToldPodcast
