78 (English) Identity & Belonging as a Peruvian Adoptee with Adrian Vaillancourt

Adrian Carlos Vaillancourt is a community builder interested in connecting South and Central American adoptees with their first cultures. Born in Peru and adopted at a young age by an American mother and Canadian father, Adrian first connected with his Peruvian culture after high school. 

Adrian believes that connecting with your first culture can help to create community and provide a better understanding of your identity. He is excited to create spaces for this by offering language classes, cooking classes, and cultural classes.
