One of the biggest assumptions that we, Latinos, face especially those of us that “look it” is that we all speak Spanish.  For those that it’s happened to, you know exactly what I’m talking about.  I have to admit that I’ve been on both the giving and receiving end.
It’s interesting.  Yesterday, I had a conversation with [...]

Death has always scared me.  It makes me worry about losing my children, my parents, my husband, my siblings, my friends, and anyone I care about.  The strange thing is that I’m not afraid to die.  The only problem I have with dying is leaving my kids behind. I know they need me and only [...]

She has saved herself for a guy who has shared himself but expects to settle down with a pure girl. What’s wrong with this picture? I’ll tell you what’s wrong…it’s 2009 not 1609!

Everyone has a talent or gift to share with the world. I am going to use my talents honoring an American Icon and helping others in return just like Michael.

Since Monica Conyers resigned her position from the Detroit city council, the fabled halls of the Coleman A. Young Building have been strangely quiet. There has been little noise from the office and city council’s offices, respectively, except for the firing of Police Chief Barren. It’s interesting how there was supposed to be this transparent [...]
