This year, our Hispanic Heritage Month program will feature a three-part series led by Nota Inclusion speakers. Futurists are invited to participate in virtual development sessions covering themes like overcoming adversity, unlocking personal potential, and harnessing the power of connection.

Mando Origel, Recorded Future’s Latin Network ERG lead and Customer Success Manager, shared his inspiration for organizing these events.

How did these events come to be?

"I have been wanting to bring something to the ERG where both our members and allies can take away actionable items to help their personal and professional growth and development."

Why do these events matter?

"I realize how important it is for all of us to connect with professionals who share a similar background. It gives us a story to model after and to get inspired by. As individuals, I think it helps us see what we are capable of becoming when we leverage the power of the collective. That could be family, community, co-workers, partners, mentors etc."

Why do you think this is relevant for all Futurists?

"We are all in different phases in our lives and professions, and I think we can benefit from learning about other people who are at a point in their lives where they are able to share their experiences for the world to learn from."
