The 7th annual “Honoring the Ancestor, Gloria Anzaldúa: Joy, Love and Latine Literature featuring Gabby Rivera" event will be a very special celebration marking the distinctive legacy of Gloria Anzaldúa at the intersection of Latine Heritage Month and LGBTQ+ History Month. 

Gloria Anzaldúa was a self-described “chicana dyke-feminist, tejana patlache poet, writer and cultural theorist" whose literary works transformed feminist theory -- her dedication to rupturing the oppressive world through her own internal spiritual work led to her theories that served as a cornerstone of the Third Wave feminist movement and her writing opened the door for radical feminist queer of color literature. 

This interactive gathering is an annual event hosted by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion that centers the works of great poets, artists, activist scholars and more. We invite all artists and art enthusiasts to join this tribute to Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous and People of Color artists.

This year's featured artist is Writer and Storyteller is Gabby Rivera.
