Día de los Muertos: Annual Community Celebration

Last month POV hosted our annual Dia De Los Muertos celebration! Back in person for the first time in a few years, we were so excited to gather together in community in our new Metro Headquarters. Staff decorated our offices from top to bottom, including creating several ofrendas to remember those we have lost.

We opened up for community partner tours and then held activities and a program later in the evening. Key highlights from the event include: Xipe Totec Aztec Dancers opening the program; Tasha Mitchell, a domestic violence survivor and member of POV’s Voices Over Violence survivors speakers bureau sharing her story of healing and resilience; activities like face painting, mask making, cookie decorating, vase making and sugar skull painting, arts & crafts, and games; and a general feeling of community togetherness.

This was such a special event and we thank all who attended and who participated to bring this gathering back in full force.
