I'm so proud of my contribution to Hispanic Living magazine, published by USA Today. I was asked forever ago to help with story ideas and editing. And now it's finally out.
Why am I proud? Because it has a variety of stories that don't fall into stereotypes. And it features people from a variety of Hispanic cultures. We aren't all the same. What culture is?
It covers cultural connections and traditions, such as making tamales, but it also covers new trends such as the growth in cross-cultural marriages, the expansion of tequila bars, and increasing autism rate among Latinos. Features include the importance of education, keys to financial savvy, and finding business success. And there are plenty of great profiles, such as that of actress/Latino activist Rosario Dawson, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, and Olympian Marlen Esparza, who came home with a bronze in women's boxing.
It's a little difficult to find, though. My mom searched in Albuquerque and in San Antonio, during a recent trip. And a good friend in Austin said she's not found it. That bums me out. So I'm sharing a link to order the Hispanic Living magazine.
I hope you get it and enjoy reading it as much as I did.
Cheers!
