August 15th marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich culture, diverse heritage and important contributions of the Hispanic/Latin community around the world! 🎉 Our Hispanic/Latin colleagues at Parexel play a pivotal role in our organization's success. Colleagues like Nathalia Cruz ─ a Supply & Logistics Project Manager based in Boston ─ who plans to celebrate both Hispanic/Latin Heritage and Brazilian independence with loved ones this month. Nathalia shared with us why she is proud to be Latinx: "Being Latinx is a continual reminder of our heritage and the lessons learned from our colonial past. This happens by embracing our diversity, promoting inclusivity and spreading love. As Conceição Evaristo, a Brazilian writer, once said, 'O importante não é ser o primeiro ou primeira, o importante é abrir caminhos,” which can be translated as, “It is not important if you are the first, it is important to be the pioneer for new opportunities to everyone.'”
