Social justice

Translation and localization for charities, non-profit organizations, and companies that want to make the world a better, fairer, and more equitable place.

  • Translation

    Translation of written materials can help convey information quickly and succinctly when it’s needed most for Latin American Spanish speakers.

  • Subtitling & audiovisual translation

    Subtitles for Latin American and United States Spanish speakers allow you to reach the most amount of people with the most cost-effective approach.

  • Captions & subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing

    If your video content is already in Spanish, adding accessibility features like captions ensures that everyone has access to the same information.

Language for Justice (LFJ) is a grassroots counter-colonial communication initiative by and for interpreters, translators, and language advocates that centers marginalized and underrepresented communities. They uphold language as a bridge, instead of a barrier.

I helped them with the Spanish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH) of a feature documentary on the social and environmental impact of mining called “All We Have is Us.” I also revised and edited the English SDH subtitles.

Subtitles to raise awareness.

Bringing people together through translation.

Correspondents of the World is a platform that aims to bring people closer together through storytelling.

I worked with them to provide Spanish translations of texts related to the environment, migration, education, gender issues, liberation, and COVID-19.

Translation as advocacy.

LGBTQ+ immigrants face heightened levels of physical violence, harassment, and isolation in ICE detention, and Migrant Support Collective centers their voices and needs in their program design, ensuring their work is inclusive of as many people as possible.

I worked with MSC translating into Spanish participant-facing material for their Art as Advocacy program: instructional documents, feedback forms, etc. And I currently handle the translation of their monthly newsletter as well.
