Latinx artists and writers from across the globe are showcasing their talents on Twitter by using the hashtag #LatinxsCreate.
Author Tristan J. Tarwater started using the hashtag Sept. 15 in an effort to help Latinx creatives gain visibility.
She shared the inspiration behind the hashtag in a tweet she wrote on Sept. 19 and added what she hoped would come from it.
“I chose ‘create’ because I wanted all types of creators to show off their stuff,” she tweeted. “There are SO MANY ways to create and I know we’re doing it, making art, dancing, coding, writing, designing, producing, filming + more. We do it all… I wanted us all to see each other! Making stuff. Make connections, find each other, collaborate, keep building community.”
