Every year on December 3rd, the world observes the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). In 2025, the United Nations theme is “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. This day is a reminder that over 1.3 billion people worldwide—1 in 6 of us—live with significant disabilities. The observance calls for equity, accessibility, and inclusive health systems that recognize the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.

World AIDS Day, observed globally on December 1, is more than a symbolic date—it is a reminder of the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS. In Southern Idaho, recent public health reports show a sharp rise in HIV and AIDS cases, underscoring the importance of awareness, prevention, and compassionate care. Even though the official day has passed, the urgency remains.

The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy, togetherness, and celebration. Yet for many, it can also be a season of deep grief. Whether it’s the first holiday after losing a loved one or the tenth, the absence can feel sharper against the backdrop of festive lights and cheerful gatherings. Grief during the holidays can feel especially heavy, as memories and traditions highlight the absence of loved ones.

On the final day of Hispanic Heritage Month, I had the honor of attending the rebranding launch of the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs (ICHA)—a vibrant celebration of our culture, resilience, and future. Governor Brad Little officially declared September 15 to October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month in Idaho, saying it was “just in the nick of time.” That moment felt like a warm embrace of our community’s contributions.

This past weekend, I had the honor of attending the Latinos Unidos Conference: Unidos Venceremos, organized by PODER of Idaho.
