On May 30, mente, a mental health initiative for Latino youth, partnered with Latino-led nonprofit Somos Votantes to host Mente en el Desierto—a night market and comedy show using laughter as a form of group therapy.
Our political reporter, Sahara Sajjadi, spent the night with the community, exploring how the organization taps into comedy as a means of healing among Latino youth.
Take a look inside the event and follow @mente.world to stay connected.
