A group of local Latin real estate agents kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month Thursday with a celebration of culture and unity in downtown Richmond. Two of the organizers, Panamanian-born Jo Ann Breaux and Bolivian-born Daniela Queen, said they wanted to bring people together through food, music and dancing. “It’s important that we celebrate these types of events here in Richmond, especially because the Latin American community makes up almost 10% of the population here,” Breaux told 8News. “We have many thriving businesses that have Latin business owners.” https://www.wric.com/entertainment-news/hispanic-heritage-celebrations-begin-in-richmond/
