Latino2

Latino 2(too) Luncheon,

By the time you read this, another child is born. Into this world where you are able to give, love, grown and learn from our past and our continued future. Where you will be able to teach and educate this child about the history of how you and other’s became. The struggles you and they had and triumphed through. By the time he or she is grown they too will learn that they are part of their culture. The may be brown, caramel, tan, and black, white or beige and they will have a linage connected to what we now call Latino, Hispanic, Spanish speaking.

I was privileged to attend the Latino2 luncheon. A one time planned conference, derived by LATISM, and became a Luncheon due to its attendance. I was very blessed to have participated in such a powerful meeting. Where eight people told their life story, paths, hopes and future dreams. Leaders like Dorinda Moreno, Jessie and Belen Luna, Giovanni Rodriguez, Jose Huirton, Christina Gonzales, and Hilda Zacarias and yours truly, came together for a weekend to brainstorm how Latino2 can become a force of power.

We brainstormed on who, what, where, when, why, and how we could contribute to this life, this cause of making leaders to help influence you and others to come to help others know of the past, and how we can help in the future. Its was a meeting where every idea was allocated into one group to help the growth of what will be a powerful organization that will allow ideas to be cheered and worked with to help the empowerment of people.

I cannot wait to write about the upcoming meetings and then Big Conference I do wish you allow your self come to in the future Spring of 2011.

Until the next meeting.

Listening to LTTP while I get dressed.

I make music a part of how I dress. My moods reflect my style, my music, me.

What kind of music to do your dress to when you are getting ready? Or what makes your heart beat when you make something out of the wardrobe you have now?

TODAY I was listening to LTTP : Last Train To Paris by: Sean Combs, Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy. Lets Just say I was upbeat, stylish, empowered, I reminisced of my love and was filled with hip movement.

LTTP I recommend you listen to it while you are getting dressed. Buy LLTP Music December 14th a day after my birthday. 😀

Yesi Ortiz: Passion and Strength

Welcome to December. This month I’m dedicating my blog to Women I consider Strong; this encompasses many things… I hope you enjoy this month’s selections.

http://www.power106.com/Pics/Airstaff/yesibio_new.jpg

Passion and Strength: Two words I choose to use out of many positive ones about Yesi Ortiz. She is an on air-radio personality Mon-Saturday from 10am-2pm. Yes ladies and gentlemen, she is the sweet voice you hear on POWER 106. Bringing you smile while your listening.I had the pleasure to meet and speak to Yesi a few weeks ago. In the interview I was able to learn about her. She is charismatic, sensible and passionate in what she does. Moreover, she is a helper and a giver, all of which you will read.

I asked her how she kept her balance being a radio celebrity in the city of Los Angeles, CA.

Her first word was: schedule! “I schedule everything. Work, home, kids, life.” For a busy-on the go- Lady to have a schedule, I believe is very important. Yesi makes time for her family, her friends and her passion. I can only imagine how busy she is. She mentioned that she couldn’t do all she does with out the support of her mother and sister of whom help her during her working hours. Oh yes, a Latina that allows her family to help in her, a brave woman she is, and oh so wise.

When asked what her passion was she expressed, with a smile, that she loved helping the children at the AVIVA. “Aviva Family and Children’s Services provides a comprehensive range of diverse and culturally sensitive therapeutic and educational programs to help at-risk, emotionally distressed, abused, and neglected youth – as well as their families – function more effectively as individuals and within the family and community.”

Yesi makes time to go over to Aviva and provided moral support for the kids who don’t have a home. Her passion comes from her own personal experience; she took her nieces & nephews out of foster care and became an adoptive mother. She acknowledges the great need to help the children who have no home and “who have suffered horrendous physical abuse, sexual abuse and/or abandonment. Who have known what depression was/is and have been at a point of suicide.”

Her passion is her strength, to give, support and help to the children in need whom. Personally being someone who loves to help and Give I admire her. It takes a lot of courage to make children happy and provide continuous support of any sort. Thumbs way up!

We became chatty about her goals for this current year at AVIVA. She said that this year she will give them a holiday party and this will continue to visit as much as she can to lend her support any which way she is able to.

Yesi, I am happy to have met you. You inspire me to continue to give to others, to have a voice.

Many thanks for your time. I hope you see that people helping people is an honorable thing. Anyone who would like to help Yesi in her awesome endeavor to help Aviva please send her a note at www.yesiortiz.com
