As we celebrate Black History Month and Dominican Heritage Month, this edition of Palo Magazine is dedicated to honoring the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black and Dominican communities. We delve into the legacies of Black inventors who shaped our world, explore the significance of soul food as a cultural staple, and spotlight some of the biggest Dominican influencers making waves today.
In addition, we shed light on the ongoing challenges of racial disparities in the workplace, and highlight grand openings that showcase the growth and innovation in our communities. Our coverage of the Vision Board Workshop event brings you an inspiring look at how people are setting their goals for a brighter future. We also share a captivating gallery of photos from this unforgettable event.
Our journey through history continues with an article reflecting on the powerful experience of visiting the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, and how travel can offer new perspectives on Black heritage, culture, and connection.
We hope this edition sparks reflection, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the histories that continue to shape our world today.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
