Young Latino leaders will gather in Charlotte on Saturday for the Queen City Summit.
The event is organized by Inspira NC, a nonprofit founded last year by 17-year-old Santiago Esparza-Nazemi. The organization aims to support Latino students through civic leadership, economic empowerment and post-secondary education.
The summit will feature workshops, networking opportunities with community leaders and discussions focused on young Latino leadership in North Carolina.
Esparza-Nazemi says the event was designed by Latino students for Latino students.
“We are all truly driven and focused on creating experiences that we wish we could have," Santiago-Nazemi said.
The Queen City Summit begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Providence Day School.
