This [National Hispanic Heritage Month](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/09/14/a-proclamation-on-national-hispanic-heritage-month-2023/), we asked several of our Fellows to reflect and share how they bring their Latinx/Hispanic heritage and identities to their work as civic technologists across the federal government. This year’s Hispanic Heritage Month theme is “​​Todos Somos, Somos Uno – We Are All, We Are One,” which celebrates the diverse voices and points of view within the Hispanic community. The U.S. Digital Corps (USDC) is [proud to have Fellows](https://digitalcorps.gsa.gov/fellows/) who represent the diversity of the American public that we serve, and we are also proud that our Fellows support work that serves the Hispanic community through programs such as [USAGov en Español](https://www.usa.gov/es/).

Celebrating diversity to me means acknowledging our differences, being open to learning more about our differences, and appreciating those differences. When you engage in learning about a different culture, you are affirming the identity of your co-workers, your student peers, and others around you. In turn, doing so facilitates a space in which people feel they can be their authentic selves which is vital to a thriving, collaborative environment. Celebrating diversity means respect. It means uplifting the voices of people of different identities. They are the ones who share their experiences, identities, and cultures. You do not assume or tell their stories. Instead, you make space to listen and learn from what they share.
