Airbnb and Eva Longoria Are Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month With New Online Experiences
Experiences range from $6 to $100 each, and Eva Longoria’s TexMex cooking class will take place on September 29 at 1:00 PM PDT. All the proceeds from her experience will go toward the Eva Longoria Foundation to enhance educational and entrepreneurial opportunities for Latinas and their families.
“There’s no better time to come together and celebrate the vibrant traditions, diversity, and richness of our heritage,” said Longoria. “There’s a deep-rooted connection between our culture and food, and I’m delighted to invite you into my kitchen and share some of my most cherished memories as we cook one of my favorite TexMex dishes that remind me of home.”
