“Being a part of Chica Project opened up my awareness to the shared experiences of Latina women and the strength that comes with coming together, speaking up, and supporting one another.”
Chica Project recognized at the highest levels:
We were honored by the Michelle Obama Foundation as a worthy organization and received an invitation to her Becoming tour in Boston.
"It was important to me that all sorts of people could come to the tour events, not just those with means ... particularly young people striving to be their best. I want them to see themselves in my story—to see the value in the fullness of their lives and to imagine who they might become in the years ahead. “ — Michelle Obama, Live Nation Press Release, October 26, 2020
