“Cesar Chavez is just a man.”

By: Gabriela Yareliz One woman was 13 when the abuse began. Some were 8 or 9. Horrible to let that sink in. Dolores Huerta and other women have come forward to detail the abuse they suffered at the hands of Cesar Chavez, the NYT is reporting in an explosive report. There are archives, recordings andContinue reading ““Cesar Chavez is just a man.””

The Representative: Nicole Malliotakis

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am proud to feature my congress rep (11th Congressional District), Nicole Malliotakis. I have never been prouder of voting for someone than I have been with her. I have voted for her on multiple occasions (like when she ran for NYC mayor in 2017), and she has done a phenomenal jobContinue reading “The Representative: Nicole Malliotakis”

The Attorney: Kimberly Guilfoyle

I think it’s fair to call Luis Guzmán an actor and comedian. The roles he takes often make us laugh. He is someone who hasContinue reading “The Actor: Luis Guzmán”

Puerto Rican

By: Gabriela Yareliz When I die, I want them to say they looked into my eyes and saw my fire. That I aged with my head held high by a backbone of resolve. And that with that same fire in my eyes, I confronted life without flinching. That I had the heart of Jesus, theContinue reading “Puerto Rican”

Latinoamerica

By: Gabriela Yareliz-the best shot in the West 🙂 When it comes to messing with people, usually people choose by appearance. This person looks easy, they might think; and they try to take advantage of you or make you look stupid. Hilariously, appearances are not always accurate. Someone that looks quiet and sweet, may beContinue reading “Latinoamerica”
