A conversation with Dr. Yomaira Figueroa Vasquez, Iris Morales, and Sharayna Christmas

This keynote conversation brings together an intergenerational reflection on relationality across activism, scholarship, and community praxis. Grounded in memory and community care, this dialogue explores how Puerto Rican histories of struggle, migration, and cultural production are deeply entangled with Black, Latinx, and global liberation movements. Across generations, the speakers will reflect on their work building solidarities, navigating conflicts, and sustaining communities within and beyond institutional spaces. Together, they will consider how relational praxis can inform both intellectual and collective action.
