CENITA
Creative Dinner Series
A roundtable discussion where fellow BIPOC visual directors (photo directors, art directors, design directors, creative directors) talk about their experiences, challenges and journeys
in the visual creative industry.
ABOUT
The dinner series began as a way to support for Latinx visual directors and editors in the creative industry. Inspired by the lack of representation and the challenges Latinx creatives face when getting to mid-to-senior director positions, Cenita’s goal was to create a third space through a dinner series to empower BIPOC and historically under-recognized communities (HUC), allowing us to ideate on how to build sustainability for future generations of diverse creative leaders. Cenita brings together professionals with varying experience levels to share their stories and ideas over a meal.
Through intimate gatherings centered around food, a powerful symbol of cultural heritage and connection, Cenita encourages open and honest discussions about their experiences in and out of the workforce. Guests share dishes and personal stories, finding strength and inspiration in their struggles and successes.
Cenita is a celebration of our contributions and advocacy, it is bringing the table large enough for all our seats.
