Anyone who uses the words “Latino” and “Hispanic” interchangeably is in for a rude awakening. These terms are often used to describe people of Latin American descent, but their actual meanings are a bit more complicated.![]()

Watch us break down the difference between Latino, Hispanic and Latinx in our link in bio. #wfphighlight #womenforprogress
