I think I have talked about my grandmother before in here but I don't think I have ever written anything about only her. I cannot help but think of her whenever anyone asks about who we admire as women or who we look up to. Which is why once more, I just have to pick her. 

She is my greatest inspiration in life and more than once I have told myself and others, she is the person…

For day 3: Latina Spotlight, our Latinitas shared with us what females they admire in their life:

I believe I have the great privilege of living in a border city where all I literally have to do to go to another country is walk over a bridge. A concept that many around the world don't understand, people in my community often see coming and going between two countries on a daily basis as something just part of everyday life. While many cross…

Quiero platicarte sobre Elena Poniatowska.

Although born in France in 1932, when Elena turned 10, her and her family moved to Mexico and finally became a Mexican citizen in 1969. She studied both in Mexico and in the United States and became a journalist using this outlet…

In todays world, almost anyone can access the web and reach tons of different information about anything. Knowing the responsibilities and dangers that exists with this, our Latinitas learned a few internet safety tips during our two weeks of Tech Camp this summer at the Boys and Girls Club of El Paso. Our Latinitas got a great lesson from our interns and volunteer and then got to give advice on their own on how to behave,…
