Viri Marin launched the Chattanooga Community Fridge in the Highland Park neighborhood during the pandemic to help fight food insecurity.
Xavier Cotto - who works in IT - is an engineer and drummer who started XCeed Events, which produces and promotes events to amplify the Latino arts in Chattanooga.
A few weeks ago, I spoke with them during Hispanic Heritage Month for our series of conversations with voices from the Latino community in this city, in collaboration with La Paz Chattanooga: a series of conversations we call “Raíces” - or “Roots” in Spanish.
