RECODE ADN Latino
Have you built a life here, yet still feel you're not fully from here or from there?
Integrate your story, recognize your worth and choose where you want to go next.
What we rarely say
Migrating changes much more than where we live.
Migrating can mean leaving family, friends, customs, a profession or a familiar way of life. It also means learning to start over.
- 01What we still miss.
- 02The experiences we didn't have time to understand.
- 03The dreams we put off for later.
- 04The person we were, and the one we had to become.
An integrated identity
You are not an incomplete person between two worlds.
You are the integration of what you received, what you lived, what you learned and what you choose to build today.
You are no less from here for remembering where you come from. You are no less from there because you have changed.
“I am a whole person, shaped by both worlds.”
What ADN Latino is
A new way of looking at your story.
A personal transformation experience for migrants and people with Latin American roots.
Embrace
The identity you have built through migrating.
Recognize
Your worth, your potential and your strengths.
Choose
Consciously who you want to become.
Contribute
Turn your story into direction and contribution.
A pause for you
Is ADN Latino for me?
Check the statements you identify with. If you check three or more, this journey may connect with you.
Live the experience first
ADN Latino demo workshop
From here, from there… or from both?
Before committing to the full process, join a participatory experience to get to know the methodology and discover whether ADN Latino connects with you.
A first experience to recognize yourself
The demo workshop is an introductory, participatory experience to get to know ADN Latino from the inside. You'll look at your migration journey from another perspective, recognize yourself in shared experiences and discover what this path has built in you.
At the end, you can decide whether you want to continue with the full RECODE ADN Latino process.
RECODE ADN Latino
Seven dimensions. A more conscious identity.
The demo workshop opens the door. The seven-session process walks the path with you.
My story
Understand the path that brought you here.
Between two worlds
Integrate your roots with the life you've built.
Imprints
Discover what your experiences left in you.
Outlook
See how your journey shapes the way you move forward.
My place
Recognize your potential and make your contribution visible.
Purpose
Reconnect with what gives meaning today.
Direction
Decide where to go next.
The exercises, dynamics and discoveries will unfold during the process.
When we recognize our worth, the way we take our place as a community changes.
Making the invisible visible
When we recognize ourselves, others can also recognize our worth.
Recognition begins in each person and becomes visible in the way we speak, participate and show what we can contribute.
When Latinos make our capabilities visible, American society can recognize more clearly the strength of our story and our contribution.
A community that recognizes its worth strengthens its voice and creates better conditions to be recognized and respected.
At the end of the process
Moving forward with everything you are.
The result won't be forgetting what you left behind or going back to who you were. It will be moving forward with greater awareness, carrying with you everything that is also part of you.
- Integrate your roots with the person you have become.
- Recognize your worth, your strengths and your potential.
- Transform ways of thinking that limit your decisions.
- Recover your purpose and define a clear direction.
- Turn your story into a contribution to others.
A process that requires commitment
This is not an experience to watch from the outside.
You don't need to do it perfectly. You need to be present, respect your own pace and let each session build on the one before.
Participate
In all seven sessions.
Reflect
With the support of the workbook.
Observe
How your story influences you today.
Apply
What you discover through action.
From the personal to the collective
Your transformation can also strengthen others.
When a migrant recognizes their worth, they participate with more confidence, share their ideas, create opportunities and open the way for those who come after.
About the creator
Gloria Maceda Ochoa
Founder of Connecta and creator of ADN Latino. I am a migrant too. I know what it's like to start over, rebuild a professional identity and move between two cultures.
I didn't create ADN Latino because I had all the answers. I created it because I realized that adapting allowed me to move forward, but integrating my story allowed me to recognize my worth and choose more consciously who I wanted to be.
“Today I help others make visible what their story has built in them.”
Experience it first. Then decide.
Maybe you need to embrace everything you already are and decide what you want to build with it.
Start with the demo workshop. Get to know the methodology, notice what the experience awakens in you and discover whether this is your moment.
