 Join Global Education Center as we shed light and share knowledge about The Third Root of Mexico with a screening of Afro Latinos: An Untaught History, a documentary series about the estimated 150 million invisible Afro-descendants currently living in Latin America. From the music, dance, drumming to the food and religion, we begin to see and experience the rich culture and contributions of the enslaved Africans who arrived to the Caribbean, Central and South America. Director Renzo Devia will be joining us for a Q & A about the documentary and Sal Rojas will be here to his photo exhibit on Mexico's Third Root.

About Renzo Devia

Renzo Devia is a U.S.-born television producer and director of Colombian heritage. As an American Latino producer, Devia continually strives to project positive, dynamic images of Latinos on television. Devia’s production experience includes his first television job in 1995 at Univision networks, the nation’s premier Spanish-language network as well as extensive producing experience at MTV and HBO Latino. While field producing for Univision, Devia encountered the Latino audience in the streets of New York city, learning valuable insights into the shortcomings of both Spanish and English television serving the growing U.S. Latino audience. After listening to feedback from “the source,” Devia realized there was a large void in the market. Devia strives to continuously develop programming that breaks down barriers and overcomes stereotypes of under served audiences. In 2008 Devia and Rose sold the American Latino TV and LatiNation properties to LATV Networks. After 15 years of producing English language content for U.S born Latinos, Devia is now independently developing new projects and bringing his talents to Latin America. His quest now includes telling stories in Spanish from Central and South America and the Caribbean. After many extensive travels and great relationships with the Latin market Renzo has made it his mission to educate people on the under served Afro-Latino culture. His vision has been consistent, to unite Latinos and empower them.
