n this day and age of the 24-hour news cycle, and a continuously growing media landscape, there is a great opportunity to give the real and true representation of the communities that today make up the majority of the population of the United States.

While legacy media continues to exist to provide the public with useful and valuable information, many niche media organizations have been established in more recent decades to tell the stories of individuals and communities that are often neglected, underrepresented and misrepresented, although they are gradually becoming the majority of the population in urban centers like Philadelphia.

One such niche media organization is AL DÍA, among others that are making a contribution to create new narratives over media. For 25 years, AL DÍA has served as an important voice in portraying the reality and richness of the Latino and Latino-American experience from Philadelphia.

In a country where Latinos make up 18% of the population, their presence in the U.S. has been here for centuries, but it has not been well-documented, as the media is yet to accurately reflect the new demographic reality of our country.

Claudia Romo Edelman, our subject of our cover story in this edition, said it in an interview with AL DÍA earlier this month: “It’s time for Hispanics to talk to Hispanics about the power of Hispanics.”

She is the founder of “We Are All Human” Foundation, an national organization advocating for true Hispanic cause: “Seeing people as people, not as their race, religion, nationality, culture, gender or other constructs”.

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL AL DÍA is a media platform that aspires to bridge the gap between the U.S. Latinos and other diverse communities that form the U.S. population in the 21st Century.

If no one is documenting the contributions that these diverse communities have made and continue to make in the U.S., then that may perpetuate the idea that they aren’t making contributions. Worse yet, they are doing harm, as the current divisive narrative may indicate.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

AL DÍA is glad to take as a media organization on the responsibility of providing the public with information about the Latino and other multicultural communities that make the majority of the population in our major cities.` We believe, as the Foundation led by Claudia Romo Edelman, advocates that “Fear, isolation and intolerance will take us back”.

“Only love, compassion and connection will move us forward.”❚

n esta era de las noticias 24 horas, y un horizonte mediático en continuo crecimiento, hay una gran oportunidad de mostrar una representación real y fiel de las comunidades que hoy conforman la mayor parte de la población de los Estados Unidos.

Mientras los medios tradicionales siguen existiendo para ofrecerle al público información útil y valiosa, se han creado en las décadas recientes muchas organizaciones de medios para un nicho específico que relatan las historias de individuos y comunidades que con frecuencia son ignorados, no se les representa lo suficiente y se les representa de la manera errónea, aun cuando gradualmente se han vuelto mayoría en poblaciones urbanas como la del Filadelfia.

Una de esas organizaciones es AL DÍA, entre otras, las cuales contribuyen en la creación de nuevas narrativas en los medios.

Durante 25 años, AL DÍA ha sido una voz importante que retrata la realidad y riqueza de los latinos y de la experiencia latinoamericana de Filadelfia.

En un país donde los latinos conforman el 18% de la población y cuya presencia en Estados Unidos ha existido aquí por

siglos, no ha quedado bien documentada, ya que a los medios aún les hace falta reflejar mejor la realidad demográfica de nuestro país.

Claudia Romo Edelman, nuestro personaje de la historia central de esta edición, dijo en una entrevista a AL DÍA este mes: “Es hora de que los hispanos hablen a los hispanos acerca de los hispanos”.

Ella es la fundadora de la Fundación “Somos todos humanos”, una organización nacional que advoca por la verdadera causa hispana: “Ver a las personas como personas, no por su raza, religión, nacionalidad, cultura, género u otros constructos sociales”.

AL DÍA es una plataforma que aspira a cerrar la brecha entre los latinos de Estados Unidos y otras diversas comunidades que forman la población de Estados Unidos en el siglo 21.

Si nadie documenta los aportes que estas comunidades diversas han hecho y siguen haciendo en los Estados Unidos, eso puede perpetuar la idea de que no están contribuyendo en nada. Peor aún, que están perjudicando al país, tal como la actual narrativa pudiera indicar.

Eso no podría estar más lejos de la realidad.

A AL DÍA le complace, en tanto que organización de medios de comunicación, tomar la responsabilidad de ofrecer al público información acera de los latinos y otras comunidades multiculturales que son la mayoría de la población en nuestras ciudades principales.

Creemos, como lo invoca la fundación liderada por Claudia Romo Edelman: “El miedo, el aislamiento y la intolerancia nos devolverá al pasado”.

“Solo el amor, la compasión y la conexión nos llevará hacia adelante”.❚ - EL EDITOR •3

he position of the Hispanic community in the United States regarding the work of organizations such as Planned Parenthood is not entirely clear.

While some believe that the religious inclination of Latinxs would make them prone to accept the defunding of pro-abortion organizations, others might say that this is another reductionist vision of an incredibly heterogeneous community.

However, the debate about the existence of public health organizations such as Planned Parenthood impacts much more extensive issues than simply access to abortion.

According to figures from the Kaiser Family Foundation, Hispanics are the minority with the highest uninsured rate in the country (19%), ranking above the African-American community by 8 percentage points.

Likewise, access to medical care among Latinxs in the United States presents greater obstacles than for other minorities, with family income, culture, and language barriers being the main risk factors.

A study by the University of Pittsburgh School

a posición de la comunidad Hispana en Estados Unidos frente a la labor de organizaciones como Planned Parenthood no es del todo clara.

Mientras algunos consideran que la inclinación profundamente religiosa de los Latinxs les haría favorables a los recortes financieros a organizaciones pro-aborto, otros podrían decir que esa es otra visión reduccionista de una comunidad abismalmente heterogénea.

Sin embargo, el debate en cuanto a la existencia de organizaciones de salud pública como Planned Parenthood influyen en asuntos mucho más extensos.

De acuerdo a cifras de la Kaiser Family Foundation, los Hispanos son la minoría con mayor tasa de no asegurados en el país (un 19%), posicionándose por encima de la comunidad afroamericana por 8 puntos porcentuales.

Asimismo, el acceso a la atención médica entre Latinxs en Estados Unidos presenta mayores obstáculos que en otras minorías, siendo factores de riesgo el ingreso económico familiar, la cultura y el lenguaje.

Un estudio de la Escuela de Salud Pública de la Universidad de Pittsburgh determinó que aproximadamente el 26% de los Latinxs podrían no haber visitado un médico en los últimos 12 meses, por razones

of Public Health found that approximately 26% of Latinxs might not have visited a doctor in the past 12 months, for reasons that range from public transportation and lack of access to health care providers, to the absence of a doctor who can communicate effectively in Spanish.

This disparity in accessing fundamental services such as health services inevitably influences the socioeconomic development of the communities and perpetuates cultural stigmas that are usually reinforced by Donald Trump’s White House.

It’s another typical case of a snake that bites its own tail.

And this Monday, the government has managed to worsen the situation for Latinxs in the country.

According to Politico, Planned Parenthood finally decided to withdraw from the federal Title X family planning program "rather than comply with a new Trump administration rule barring federally funded clinics from referring patients to abortion providers."

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The media explains that by withdrawing more than 400 of its participating clinics from the program, Planned Parenthood “will leave low-income women in many parts of the country without federally-funded access AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

to birth control and other reproductive health services.”

This includes much more than the right to abortion, and impacts people of all genders.

The federal program allocated about $60 million a year to health care centers whose efforts included the fight against HIV, sex education at all levels, prevention and testing programs for sexually transmitted diseases, and prenatal care.

While Planned Parenthood defended its decision to withdraw from the federal program because "it would force physicians and clinics to withhold medical information from patients, would interfere with the doctor-patient relationship and could deny pregnant women the range of options available to them," this new cut in funds for public assistance will seriously affect the country in wider ways.

Considering that Latinas have higher rates of cervical cancer, HIV diagnoses and sexually transmitted diseases than their white or African-American counterparts, this is a direct attack against the health and well being of the Latinx community.

Not to mention its impact on undocumented immigrants who, according to the Planned Parenthood platform, do not have access to Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) by order of Federal Law, which also prohibits them from buying affordable medical insurance in the ACA Marketplace.

Planned Parenthood medical assistance centers serve up to 560,000 Latinx individuals every year nationwide, and the reduction of funds will put everyone at risk. ❚

que varían desde el acceso en transporte público a los proveedores de asistencia médica, hasta la ausencia de un médico que logre comunicarse efectivamente en español.

Esta disparidad a la hora de acceder a servicios fundamentales como son los de salud, influye irremisiblemente en el desarrollo socioeconómico de las comunidades y perpetúa estigmas culturales que se hacen eco en la Casa Blanca.

Es otro caso típico de una serpiente que se come la cola.

Y este lunes, el gobierno ha logrado empeorar la situación para los Latinxs en el país.

Según reportó Politico, Planned Parenthood decidió finalmente retirarse del programa federal de planificación familiar del Título X, “en lugar de cumplir con una nueva regla de la administración Trump que prohíbe que las clínicas financiadas por el gobierno federal remitan pacientes a proveedores de abortos”.

¿QUÉ IMPLICA ESTO?

El medio explica que, al retirar más de 400 de sus clínicas participantes del programa, Planned Parenthood “dejará a las mujeres de bajos ingresos en muchas partes del país sin acceso financiado por el gobierno federal para el control de la natalidad y otros servicios de salud reproductiva”.

Esto incluye mucho más que la coartación al derecho al aborto.

El programa federal destinaba alrededor de 60 millones de dólares al año para centros de atención médica cuyos esfuerzos incluían la lucha contra el VIH, la educación sexual en todos los niveles, los programas de prevención y testeo de enfermedades de transmisión sexual, y control y seguimiento prenatal.

Si bien Planned Parenthood argumentó su decisión de retirarse del programa federal pues “obligaría a los médicos y clínicas a retener información médica de los pacientes, interferiría con la relación médico paciente y podría negar a las mujeres embarazadas la gama de opciones disponibles para ellas”, este nuevo recorte en fondos para la asistencia pública afectará gravemente al país en otras dimensiones.

Considerando que las Latinas poseen mayores tasas de cáncer cervical, de diagnósticos de VIH y de enfermedades de transmisión sexual que sus contrapartes blancas o afroamericanas, este es un ataque directo contra la salud y el bienestar de nuestra comunidad.

Y ni hablar de los inmigrantes indocumentados quienes, según explica la plataforma de Planned Parenthood, no tienen acceso a Medicaid o al Programa de Seguro Médico para Niños (CHIP) por orden de Ley Federal, que les prohíbe también comprar seguro médico asequible en el Mercado ACA. Los centros de asistencia médica de Planned Parenthood atienden hasta 560.000 Latinx cada año a nivel nacional, y la reducción de fondos por parte de la politización radical del gobierno les pone a todos en riesgo. ❚

"Rather than comply with a new Trump administration rule barring federally funded clinics from referring patients to abortion providers."

At 78 I have plenty of experience, but it has really been during these past two weeks that I’ve learned that, no matter how many aging couples dressed in white (why never any other color?) you see on TV ads running on the beach, those years’ “gold” is nothing but the Fools’ version of the precious metal.

I, for one, won’t be doing any running on the beach or anywhere else any time soon. I mean, it wouldn’t be easy with a fractured bone, wouldn’t you

Yep, last week I fell at home and fractured the left hip, a dangerous and painful lesion that happens to thousands of us who have left the “Spring Chicken” stage behind. Certainly not as much fun as running on a TV ad, right?

But I won’t tire my Al Día readers with the gruesome details. Instead, I will tell them about how the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases has made my predicament and my treatment so much lighter. Actually, the surgeon, the compassionate and professional nurses, and the entire hospital staff, who hail from all over the world, have blown me away at every level.

Somehow, in a world ruled by greed and cruelty in which solidarity has become a rare commodity, despite Trump’s racism and ignorance, the people at Manhattan’s Hospital for Joint Diseases are to be treasured.

Yo, por mi parte, no voy a salir a correr en la playa o en ninguna otra parte en los próximos días. Es decir, no sería fácil con un hueso fracturado, ¿no les parece?

Sip, la semana pasada me caí en la casa y me fracturé la cadera derecha, una lesión peligrosa y dolorosa que le ocurre a miles de nosotros que dejamos atrás la etapa de los “años mozos”.

De alguna manera, en un mundo repleto de avaricia y crueldad, en el que la solidaridad se ha convertido en un bien escaso, y a pesar del racismo y la ignorancia de Trump, atesoraré a las personas del Hospital de Manhattan de Enfermedades Articulares.

laudia Romo Edelman has been a marketer nearly her entire life. With more than 25 years of experience working at a number of different organizations — including the United Nations, World Economic Forum and UNICEF — focused on global affairs and social causes, Romo Edelman’s approach has always remained clear: highlighting the best attributes in whatever kind of contribution to the public good she is trying to make.

Whether it was work fighting against diseases, such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, or fighting social problems, like poverty and maternal mortality, Romo Edelman has always remained diligent in putting that particular component at the forefront.

That approach has led Romo Edelman to become the global leader she is today, using both her voice and actions to advocate on behalf of the Hispanic community to help them better understand and fully utilize their power.

GRASPING THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY

Romo Edelman is originally from Mexico. As a Mexican woman who has visited and lived in many different countries all across Europe, she was often a minority.

“I know what it feels [like] to be the only Mexican... that [someone] ever met,” she said during an interview with AL DÍA Founder and CEO Hernán Guaracao. “And I went into rooms [where] … they saw me as someone completely exotic.”

laudia Romo Edelman ha sido una profesional del marketing durante casi toda su vida. Con más de 25 años de experiencia laborando para varias organizaciones diferentes --entre ellas las Naciones Unidas, el Foro Económico Mundial y UNICEF --enfocadas en asuntos globales y causas sociales, el enfoque de Romo Edelman siempre ha estado claro: destacar los mejores atributos en cualquier tipo de contribución al bien público que esté tratando de hacer.

Ese enfoque ha convertido a Romo Edelman en la líder mundial que es en la actualidad, haciendo uso tanto de su voz como de sus acciones para abogar por la comunidad hispana, ayudándola a entender y hacer pleno uso de su poder.

LA COMPRENSIÓN DE LA COMUNIDAD HISPANA

Romo Edelman es originaria de México. Como mexicana que ha visitado y vivido en muchos países diferentes en toda Europa, con frecuencia era una minoría.

“Sé lo que se siente ser la única mexicana… que [alguien] jamás haya conocido”, dijo durante una entrevista con el Fundador y Director ejecutivo de AL DÍA, Hernán Guaracao. “Entreé en salones [en los que] me veían como alguien totalmente exótica”.

Hispanics make up 18% of the U.S. population, but are underrepresented in most other areas. est, aut Los hispanos constituyen el 18% de la población de los Estados Unidos, pero están subrepresentados en la mayoría de las demás áreas.

That was an experience she endured while she worked as secretary general at the United Nations.

However, when she got the job at UNICEF to move to the United States in 2014, she entered a new reality, and was excited to learn that she was a “Hispanic.”

“I never knew there was such a thing as a Hispanic,” noted Romo Edelman. “I grew up thinking I was Mexican.”

In preparation for coming to the U.S., Romo Edelman took on the task of learning as much as she could about the Hispanic community. As a marketer, she was super interested in the data.

According to Forbes, Hispanics currently have $1.7 trillion in purchasing power, and account for almost half of U.S. population growth with an average age of 29 years old. Hispanics also make up around 18% of the total U.S. population, however, in most other areas, Hispanics are underrepresented.

Looking at the numbers, Romo Edelman found that the Hispanic community is essentially the middle class of America.

feel that powerful, it didn’t feel that strong,” she said.

With her background as a marketer, Romo Edelman noticed a “reverse marketing problem” for Hispanics in the U.S. She noted that whomever is doing marketing for the Hispanic community is, hiding the best attributes of the community and failing to show the potential that they have.

“And we Hispanics are drinking that Kool-Aid,” she added. “We’re thinking that we’re small when we’re big, and we’re thinking that we’re weak when we’re powerful.”

Since coming to the U.S., Romo Edelman has worked diligently toconfront the issues and barriers hindering the Hispanic community, and has contributed to developing some solutions.

In line with her commitment to advocating

“Jamás supe que había una cosa tal como un hispano”, señal+o Romo Edelman. “Creí creyendo que era mexicana”.

Al prepararse para su traslado a los EE. UU., Romo Edelman se sumergió en la tarea de aprender todo lo que podía sobre la comunidad hispana.

Como profesional de marketing, estaba muy interesada en los datos. Según Forbes, los hispanos ahora tienen un poder adquisitivo de 1.7 billones de dólares y constituyen casi la mitad del crecimiento poblacional estadounidense con un promedio de edad de 29 años. Los hispanos también constituyen alrededor del 18% de toda la población estadounidense; no obstante, en la mayoría de otras áreas, los hispanos están muy poco representados.

Al estudiar los números, Romo Edelman descubrió que la comunidad hispana es es esencialmen-

te la clase media de los Estados Unidos.

“Sin embargo, cuando llegué, no me sentía [como] la mayoría, no me sentía tan poderosa, no me sentía tan fuerte”, dijo.

Con su trayectoria como profesional de marketing, Romo Edelman observó un “problema de marketing al inverso” para los hispanos en los EE. UU. Notó que quien hace el marketing para la comunidad hispana está escondiendo los mejores atributos de la comunidad y no está mostrando el potencial que tienen.

“Y los hispanos nos lo estamos tragando”, agregó. “Pensamos que somos pequeños cuando en realidad somos grandes, y pensamos que somos débiles, cuando somos poderosos”.

Desde que llegó a los EE. UU. Romo Edelman trabaja de forma consciente enfrenta los problemas y las barreras que obstaculizan a la comunidad hispana, y ha contribuido a desarrollar algunas soluciones.

for the Hispanic community, Romo Edelman started a sabbatical from the United Nations and launched We Are All Human, an organization that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion in efforts to bring people together to rediscover our shared humanity.

Romo Edelman credited three insights guiding the work done at the We Are All Human Foundation.

The first one, she said, is the lack of Hispanics who truly understand their own contributions to the country.

The first annual Hispanic Sentiment Study showed that 77% of respondents were unaware of recent accomplishments achieved by the Hispanic community across the country.

“That means we don’t know how many we are, how big we are, [and] how powerful is our purchasing power,” said Romo Edelman.

The second insight is the observation that the Hispanic community is not unified.

The Hispanic community is made up of 26 countries of origin and in that sense is fragmented.

“That fragmentation makes us feel small, makes us feel [like] part of a little bubble,” she said, expanding on the metaphor as she added that when you are in a bubble, the belief is that if someone else breathes in the air, you’ll lack oxygen.

However, the sooner the Hispanic population realizes there is enough air for everyone, the better.

comunidad hispana, Romo Edelman se tomó un período sabático de las Naciones Unidas y creó We Are All Human, una organización que promueve la igualdad, diversidad e inclusión en los esfuerzos por unir a todos para redescubrir nuestra humanidad compartida.

Romo Edelman señaló tres percepciones que guían el trabajo realizado en la We Are All Human Foundation.

La primera, dijo, es la falta de hispanos que realmente entienden sus propias contribuciones al país.

El primer Hispanic Sentiment Study (estudio sobre el sentir hispano) anual mostró que el 77% de los entrevistados no tenían conocimiento sobre los logros recientes alcanzados por la comunidad hispana en todo el país.

Eso significa que no sabemos cuántos somos, cuán grandes somos, [y] cuán poderoso es nuestro poder adquisitivo”, dijo Romo Edelman.

La segunda onservación es que la comunidad hispana no está unida.

La comunidad hispana está conformada por 26 países de origen y en ese sentido está fragmentada.

“Esa fragmentación nos hace sentir pequeños, nos hace sentir[como] parte de una pequeña burbuja", dijo, ampliando la metáfora al agregar que cuando uno está en una burbuja, cree que si alguien más respira, le quitará el oxígeno.

laudia Romo Edelman is a global speaker and advocate for inclusion, equity and representation, particularly for the Hispanic community. Originally from Mexico, her long-time role as special adviser for the United Nations brought us all across Europe.

In 2014, a job with UNICEF brought her to the United States, where she currently lives in New York City with her husband, Richard Edelman, President & CEO of public relations company, Edelman.

The following are excerpts from a recent conversation with AL DÍA Founder and CEO Hernán Guaracao:

On the influence of Hispanics in the U.S.

We are are 60 million strong, we’re 18% of the population, 12% of the GDP. If you put us together, our economy would be the 7th largest in the world.

On how the media can change perception I think that the role of media plays in every sense, from putting pressure onto advertisers to advertise more in our channels, to portray us in a different way.

On reasons Hispanics are often misrepresented

Sobre la influencia de los hispanos en los EE. UU.

Somos una fuerza de 60 millones, constituímos el 18% de la población, el 12% del PNB. Si nos pusieran a todos juntos, nuestra economía será el 7a más grande del mundo.

“I think that corporate America is our best ally.”

“Creo que el sector empresarial estadounidense es nuestro mejor aliado”.

We’re represented the least in every industry because we don’t have a single voice. It’s super important that we know that change is available, that power is at our hands, but we need to access it by becoming a community.

On the importance of the Hispanic vote

We have to put as much pressure as we can and as much promotion as we can for people to go and vote… to believe that their voice matters.

The problem is the self-esteem. Hispanics don’t believe that their vote matters, that their voice counts.

On Corporate America

laudia Romo Edelman es una conferencista mundial y defensora de la inclusión, igualdad y representación, especialmente para la comunidad hispana. Esta originaria de México ocupó un papel de asesora especial para las Naciones Unidas que la llevó por toda Europa. En 2014, un contrato de empleo con UNICEF la llevó a los EE.

Sobre cómo los medios pueden cambiar la percepción

Creo que el papel que desempeñan los medios en todo sentido, incluye desde ejercer presión sobre los anunciantes para que se anuncien en nuestros canales, hasta representarnos de una forma diferente.

Sobre los motivos por los que los hispanos con frecuencia son representados de manera equivocada

Somos los menos representado en todas las industral porque no tenemos una sola voz. Es muy importante que sepamos que el cambio se puede lograr, que el poder está en nuestras manos, pero que necesitamos acceder al mismo al convertirnos en una

comunidad.

Sobre la importancia del voto hispano

Debemos ejercer toda la presión que podamos y promover en la mayor medida que las personas salgan a votar… que crean que su voz es importante. El problema es uno de autoestima. Los hispanos no creen que su voz tiene importancia, que su voz cuenta.

ference,” she added.

The final insight is that 74% of Hispanics have to pretend they’re someone they’re not while in the workplace.

This is often due to the belief in the need for code switching and a lack of confidence in what being Hispanic may mean within the workplace.

These three insights are the focus of all the work We Are All Human does.

“We’ve never been so ready.

We’re never been so strong. We’ve never been so many,” Romo Edelman said of the Hispanic community.

THE HISPANIC PROMISE

The unification and advancement of the Hispanic community is largely in the hands of Corporate America.

To support this mission, the

Foundation launched the Hispanic Promise, the first-of-its-kind national pledge to hire, promote, retain and celebrate Hispanics in the workplace.

The Hispanic Promise is a non-legally binding sign of intention that resulted from the joint effort of multiple Hispanic organizations as a call to action for business leaders and companies of Corporate America to create a more inclusive work environment for Hispanics.

“We’re going and bringing Hispanics and the agenda to places where they have never been,” said Romo Edelman.

After just seven months, over 70 organizations have signed the pledge.

“This is the first step of many that we have to take,” she said, noting that while there are several corporate pledges for women, African Americans and disabled individuals, a prior pledge for Hispanics did not previously exist.

“There was no way for corporate America to actually put any single area of effort or visibility or dialogue about Hispanics,” she added.

THE MEDIA’S ROLE IN CHANGING PERCEPTION

rápido la población hispana se dé cuenta que hay suficiente aire para todos, mejor. “Juntos, podemos marcar la diferencia”, agregó.

La última percepción es que el 74% de los hispanos tienen que fingir ser quienes no son mientras se encuentran en su lugar de trabajo.

Esto se debe a menudo a la creencia en la necesidad de cambiar de código y a la falta de confianza en lo que significa ser hispano en el lugar de trabajo.

Estas tres percepciones son el enfoque de todo el trabajo que realiza We Are All Human.

“Nunca hemos estado tan preparados. Nunca hemos sido tan fuertes. Nunca hemos sido tantos”, dijo Romo Edelman con respecto a la comunidad hispana. .

LA PROMESA HISPANA

La unificación y avances de la comunidad hispana está, en gran medida, en manos del sector empresarial de los Estados Unidos.

Para apoyar esta misión, la Fundación creó Hispanic Promise (Promesa hispana), la primera promesa nacional de este tipo para contratar, ascender, retener y celebrar a los hispanos en el lugar de trabajo.

La Hispanic Promise es una señal de intención de vínculo no legal que surgió del esfuerzo conjunto de varias organizaciones hispanas como un llamado a la acción a los líderes empresariales y empresas del sector empresarial estadounidenses

para crear un ámbito laboral más inclusivo para los hispanos.

“Vamos a y llevamos a los hispanos y la agenda a lugares en los que nunca han estado”, dijo Romo Edelman.

Después de apenas siete meses, más de 70 organizaciones han firmado el compromiso.

“Este es el primer paso que debemos tomar”, dijo Romo Edelman, señalando que aunque existen varias promesas empresariales para las mujeres, los afroamericanos y los discapacitados, antes de esto no existía una promesa previa para los hispanos no existía anteriormente.

“No había forma para que el sector empresarial estadounidense pudiera realmente colocar una sola área de esfuerzo o visibilidad o diálogo sobre los hispanos”, agregó.

or changing the perception of an individual or community.

As a result, We Are All Human, and various other Hispanic organizations have called upon media organizations to do just that.

“The role of media is to talk to Hispanics,” noted Romo Edelman. “It’s time for Hispanics to talk to Hispanics about the power of Hispanics.”

Hispanics are often portrayed in stereotypical characters in TV shows and movies — as maids, criminals, immigrants, etc.

“Hispanics, we’re not that,” Romo Edelman exclaimed.

“We’re hard workers, we’re aspirational, we’re optimists, we’re academic, we’re astronauts, we’re businessowners, we’re entrepreneurs. That’s actually how we should be portrayed.”

Hispanics have a huge place in U.S. society, and, Romo Edelman said, it’s important for Hispanics to see portrayals of themselves in mainstream media that are positive.

Throughout the last decade, 86% of all businesses in the U.S. have been launched by U.S. Latinos.

“That’s why we have to associate ourselves with growth and not only with migration, we need to associate ourselves with contributing to the country and actually changing the middle class of America and energizing who we are,” she noted. “This is our country. Hispanics love America as our own.”

The media has the leverage needed to create the avenue for the Hispanic community to feel empowered and utilize that influence.

“I think that the role of media plays in every sense, from putting AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

pressure onto advertisers to advertise more in our channels, to portray us in a different way, to own media, to support entrepreneurs that are in this space, and to get more diversity of voices,” said Romo Edelman.

“WE DON’T KNOW OUR ROLE MODELS”

Romo Edelman called it “painful” that many Hispanics are unable to name many Hispanics throughout history who have transformed America beyond sports and entertainment.

As a way to address this, We Are All Human are launching a new series called, ‘High Heroes.’

“We’re putting billboards, we’re doing campaigns, saying, ‘We’re academics, we’re entrepreneurs, we’re businessowners, we’re Hispanics,’ That’s actually what we want to associate ourselves with,” she said.

The influence of the Hispanic community is everywhere. It’s just not often put in view for all of us to see.

For Romo Edelman, the time is now for Hispanics to fully understand, embrace, and exercise their power.

“I have been part of revolutions where [we] have seen change in front of my eyes,” she said.

“I am pretty optimistic because the key here [is] that we need to unite. We need to be one. No more divisions. No more like focusing on our differences … you have to realize that the price we’re paying for paying attention to our differences is so high.”

The unification of the Hispanic community is an effort that will command all parties to play a role. Romo Edelman will continue to use the platform created with We Are All Human to continue the dialogue around advancing equity, diversity and inclusion of the Hispanic community and all other communities who are underrepresented.

On Monday, Sept. 9, in Dallas, TX, We Are All Human will present the third Hispanic Leadership Summit to convene regional experts and influencers from business, health, media, marketing, technology and civil society, as well as decision makers and Hispanic leaders, to advance the Hispanic agenda as customers, employees and citizens. The last Summit took place in Chicago, IL, on Apr. 26. ❚

cepción de un persona individual o una comunidad.

Por ellos, We Are All Human, y varias otras organizaciones hispanas, hemos hecho un llamado a las organización mediáticas para hacer justamente eso.

“El papel de los medios es hablarles a los hispanos”, señaló Romo Edelman. “Es hora que los hispanos conversen con los hispanos sobre el poder hispano”.

Los hispanos con frecuencia son retratados en personajes estereotipados en los programas de televisión en el cine --como empleadas domésticas, criminales, inmigrantes y otros.

“Los hispanos no son eso”, exclamó Romo Edelman.

“Somos trabajadores, tenemos aspiraciones, somos optimistas, somos académicos, somos astronautas, somos dueños de empresas, somos emprendedores. Así es como deberíamos ser retratados”.

Los hispanos tienen un enorme lugar en la sociedad estadounidense y, como dijo Romo Edelman, es importante que los hispanos vean una imagen positiva de sí mismos en los medios de comunicación convencionales.

A lo largo de la última década, el 86% de todas las empresas en los EE. UU. han sido creadas por latinos estadounidenses.

“Por eso debemos estar relacionados con el crecimiento y no únicamente con la migración; necesitamos relacionarnos con contribuir al país y realmente cambiar la clase media de los EE.UU. y vigorizar quienes somos”, señaló. “Este es nuestro país. Los hispanos aman a los EE. UU. como suyo propio.

Los medios tienen la influencia necesaria para crear un camino para que la comunidad latina se sienta potenciada y utilizar esa influencia.

“Creo que el papel que desempeñan los medios en todo sentido, incluye desde presionar a los anunciantes para que publiquen más en nuestros canales, hasta retratarnos de una forma diferente, se propietarios de medios, apoyar a los emprendedores que se encuentran en este espacio, y obtener una mayor diversidad de voces”, dijo Romo Edelman.

“DESCONOCEMOS A NUESTROS MODELOS EJEMPLARES”

Romo Edelman calificó como “doloroso” que muchos hispanos no pueden nombrar a muchos hispanos en la historia que han transformado a los EE. UU. en áreas fuera del deporte y entretenimiento.

Para abordar esto, We Are All Human está creando una nueva serie denominada ‘High Heroes.’

“Estamos colocando vallas, realizando campañas

que dicen “Somos académicos, somos emprendedores, somos dueños de empresas, somos hispanos”. Con eso es lo que realmente queremos relacionarnos”, dijo Romo Edelman.

La influencia de la comunidad hispana está en todas partes, Lo que sucede es que con poca frecuencia se pone a la vista para que todos podamos verla.

Para Romo Edelman, llegó el momento para que los hispanos entiendan, acojan y ejerzan su poder plenamente.

“He participado en revoluciones en las que [nosotros] hemos visto el cambio frente a nuestros ojos”, dijo. “Soy bastante optimista porque la clave [es] que necesitamos unirnos.

Necesitamos ser uno. No más divisiones. No más enfocarnos en nuestras diferencias… debemos darnos cuenta que el precio que pagamos por poner atención a nuestras diferencias es tan alto”.

La unificación de la comunidad hispana es un esfuerzo que exigirá que todas las partes desempeñen un papel. Romo Edelman continuará utilizando la plataforma creada con We Are All Human para continuar el diálogo sobre propiciar la igualdad, diversidad e inclusión de la comunidad hispana y todas las demás comunidades que están subrepresentadas.

El lunes, 9 de septiembre, en Dallas, TX, We Are All Human presentará la tercera Hispanic Leadership Summit (Cumbre de liderazgo hispano) en la que se reunirán expertos y personas influyentes regionales del sector empresarial, de salud, de los medios, del marketing, de la tecnología y la sociedad civil, así como los encargados de tomar decisiones y líderes hispanos, para propiciar la agenda hispana como clientes, empleados y ciudadanos.

Pero Ferreira es todo lo contrario, una chica dulce y encantadora, que no se atreve a decir ni una sola mala palabra.

DONDE TODO COMENZÓ

Isabella Ferreira nació en Lawrence, Massachusetts, pero creció en Filadelfia desde muy pequeña. A los cuatro años comenzó a bailar y tras nueve años de práctica o, su amor por el séptimo arte creció instintivamente. Con la ayuda de su madre tomó clases de actuación en la ciudad de Nueva York, para posteriormente firmar con la agencia Take 3 Talent.

Al igual que muchos actores Ferreira comenzó como extra, en el programa Law & Order.

Su primer papel principal fue en la película Beyond My Skin, dirigida por su amiga Aniya Wolfe, en la que interpretó a Oliver Tabor.

acting classes in New York City and with the help of her mother, signed with Take 3 Talent agency.

Like many actors, to get her foot in the door, Ferreira started doing background work, including a role for the show Law & Order. Her first lead role was on the feature film Beyond My Skin, directed by her friend Aniya Wolfe, in which she played Oliver Tabor.

At sixteen, Ferreira landed a role in one of the most popular Netflix series, Orange Is The New Black.

In her recent visit to AL DÍA, she spoke about the process of obtaining that role.

Ferreira’s agency called and told her to attend an audition but she didn’t know what she was auditioning for until she got there. She initially felt scared about playing a 13-year-old at 16.

“There was a lot of... doubts, but I still went in there and I did it,” said Ferreira.

Two days later, she got the call with the news that she landed the role.

In the acting world, it usually takes at least a couple of auditions and callbacks to land a role. But to her surprise, she did not have to go AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 4,, 2019

through that process and was fortunate enough to be cast almost instantly.

ISABELLA’S EXPERIENCE IN THE SERIES

Ferreira is a girl that enjoys learning, and this series brought her many opportunities to do so. Her favorite thing about this experience was filming.

“It was amazing because you're working with such wonderful and professional actors,” she said.

Ferreira recalls a scene where Rodriguez, playing Aleida, pulls her daughter out of the house by the hair and a big argument ensues between them. It was a scene packed with emotion and Ferreira’s favorite that she filmed while on set.

Her role as Eva Diaz allowed her to step out of her comfort zone and take on the challenge of being someone she is not in real life, and she noted that working alongside Elizabeth Rodriguez and the rest of the cast has given her a chance to grow as an actress.

Con tan solo dieciséis años, Ferreira obtuvo un papel en una de las series más populares de Netflix, Orange Is The New Black.

En su reciente visita a AL DÍA, Ferreira nos cuenta cómo fue el proceso para obtener el rol de Eva. Take 3 Talent llamó a Ferreira para una audición.

Ella no supo para qué rol estaba audicionando hasta que llegó allí.

Inicialmente se sintió asustada por interpretar a una chica de 13 años, dado que ella tiene 16.

"Hubo muchas ... dudas, pero seguí allí y lo hice", dijo Ferreira.

Dos días después, recibió la llamada con la noticia de que obtuvo el papel.

En el mundo de la actuación, generalmente se necesitan al menos un par de audiciones y distintas pruebas para obtener un papel. Pero para su sorpresa, no tuvo que pasar por ese proceso. Ferreira tuvo la suerte de ser elegida casi al instante.

“There was a lot of... doubts, but I still went in there and I did it.”

"Hubo muchas ... dudas, pero seguí allí y lo hice".

LA EXPERIENCIA DE ISABELLA EN LA SERIE

A Ferreira le gusta aprender, y esta serie le trajo muchas oportunidades de hacerlo. Su parte favorita de esta experiencia fue la filmación.

"Fue increíble porque estás trabajando con actores tan maravillosos y profesionales", dijo.

Isabella Ferreira recuerda una escena en la que Elizabeth Rodríguez (Aleida), saca a su hija de la casa por

el pelo y se produce una gran discusión entre ellas. Fue una escena llena de emoción, convirtiéndola en una de las memorias la favorita de la joven actriz.

Su papel como Eva Díaz le permitió salir de su zona de confort y asumir el desafío de ser alguien que no es en la vida real. Según Ferreira trabajar junto a Elizabeth Rodríguez y el resto del elenco le ha dado la oportunidad de crecer como actriz.

ENGLISH

only went to school for three years — I went to first grade and second grade, but stopped going after third grade because when we would get home, my mom would scold us.

She would say we were already big and that we needed a husband — that we only went to school to waste time and what we really needed to do was work.

My mom was always mad at us, yelling at us — she was never happy. On rare occasions, I saw her laughing, it would make me so happy because I knew she was happy with us, even if it was few and far between.

olo fui al colegio por tres años.

Fui a primero y segundo de primaria, pero dejamos de ir después de tercero porque mi mamá nos regañaba cuando llegábamos a casa.

Decía que ya estábamos grandes y que necesitábamos un esposo, que íbamos al colegio a perder el tiempo y que lo que necesitábamos era trabajar.

Mi mama siempre estaba disgustada con nosotros, nos gritaba; nunca fue feliz. Las raras ocasiones en las que la vi riendo, me hacía sentir muy feliz porque sabía que estaba feliz con nosotros, aunque fuera poco y casi nunca.

Cómo me hubiera gustado que nos abrazara al menos una vez, pero nunca lo hizo.

Quizás cuando éramos pequeños...

A veces besaba a mis hermanas menores, pero a partir de los cinco o más, dejaba de hacerlo.

No sé, ya no era la misma.

Las únicas veces en que se veía feliz era cuando tenía dinero.

Mi papá trabajaba, pero se gastaba el dinero bebiendo, mucho.

Tenía ocho años cuando empecé a trabajar.

Un día, cuando mis hermanos se habían ido a trabajar a otro sitio, mi mamá me envió con mi papá a conseguir fruta.

Cuando llegamos a la propiedad a donde nos había enviado mi mamá, mi papá trato de violarme; solo tenía ocho años.

No sabía lo que pasaba, solo sentí miedo. Ya me había tocado antes.

Yo le dije que él era mi papá, que no debería hacerme eso porque yo era su hija.

“Yo le dije que él era mi papá, que no debería hacerme eso porque yo era su hija.”

How I wish she would have hugged us at least one time, but I don’t know why she never did.

Maybe when we were little...

She would sometimes kiss my little sisters, but from the age of five and older, it stopped. I don’t know, she just wasn’t the same.

The only time she seemed happy was when we had money.

My dad would work but he would use the money to drink, a lot.

I was eight years old when I started to work.

One day, when my siblings had gone to work somewhere else, my mom sent me to get fruit with my dad.

When we got to the property my mom had sent us to,

my dad tried to rape me — I was eight years old.

I didn’t know what was happening, I just felt fear. He had already touched me in the past.

I told him that he was my dad, that he shouldn’t do that to me because I was his daughter.

He grabbed me roughly and wouldn’t let me go so I told him I was going to tell my sister and we were going to call the police on him.

That’s when he let me go and got up.

He told me that’s all we were good for and we couldn’t do anything else, that we would never make it far because the only thing we were good for was to be with men.

I was little but I don’t know why I can’t forget that.

Él me agarró con brusquedad y no me soltaba.

Entonces, le dije que le iba a decir a mi hermana y que lo íbamos a acusar con la policía.

Me soltó y se levantó. Él me dijo que eso era para lo único que servimos y que no éramos buenas para nada más, que nunca llegaríamos lejos porque lo único para lo que éramos buenas era para estar con hombres.

Yo era pequeña, pero no sé por qué no puedo olvidar eso.

Eso me volvió temerosa.

Salía de mi casa para trabajar. Me sentía bien estando al lado de otras personas, mucho mejor que en mi casa.

Aun así quería estar cerca de mi mamá, pero ya no era lo mismo.

Luego conocí al padre de mi hijo. Al inicio me hablaba amablemente.

Era mayor que yo, no estoy segura de cuantos años.

Cuando me mude con él, me dijo que tenía que soportar cualquier cosa que me hiciera porque le había pagado a mi papá por mí …

He was older than me, but I’m not sure how much older.

hough efforts to reduce stigma around seeking or receiving therapy have made headway in the United States, the reality is, it is still difficult for many people to make the first step in seeking therapy.

And for many people of color, or those with intersectional identities, it is further complicated by the challenge of finding a therapist who shares some of their own cultural context and/or experiences with their identity.

About a year ago, Eric Coly, a former investment banker and fashion entrepreneur from Senegal, was on the phone with a friend of his who was grappling with the difficulty in finding a therapist who might mirror her own identity and cultural background, as an African-American woman.

This spurred Coly to spend several months delving into “25,000” pages of research on

Para muchas personas de color, o para aquellos con identidades interseccionales, es más complicado debido al reto que significa encontrar un terapeuta con el que tengan un contexto cultural en común o que tenga experiencia con personas de su identidad.

Hace aproximadamente un año, Eric Coly, que antes fue un banquero de inversión y emprendedor de moda de Senegal, hablaba con una amiga que lidiaba por encontrar un terapeuta que pudiera reflejar su identidad y cultura como mujer afroamericana.

therapy options for people from communities of color, the LGBTQ community, or any other identity or grouping that is marginalized or may have specific needs.

In the course of his research, Coly noticed that, in addition to confronting an overall “lack of access to mental health for minorities” in the U.S., finding a therapist who might mirror someone’s identity was particularly difficult for people with identities that are “intersectional, those that fall into more than just one trait.”

In learning more about the state of marginalized communities in the U.S., Coly said that he came to terms with his own experiences of mental illness and mental health care — and so the idea for Ayana Therapy was born.

“I suffer from severe depression, and in doing the research...it helped me, in a way, heal, and become more courageous about speaking about it, and so it was the formation of my wanting to help out a dire need that I realized existed, and the inclusion of the issues that I had faced for a while that essentially gave me the impetus for starting this company,” he said.

GIVING PEOPLE AN OPTION

According to Coly, Ayana Therapy will occupy a specific niche in the current ecosystem of mental health care platforms.

There’s a “top of the industry” he said that is made up of companies like Betterhelp and Talkspace, that “default into white people.”

“The way that they match you up with counselors is done through a questionnaire that fails to capture nuances such AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

“25.000” páginas de investigación acerca de tratamientos para personas de comunidades de color, la comunidad LGBTQ, y cualquier otro tipo de identidad o agrupación marginalizada y con necesidades específicas.

Durante el curso de su investigación, Coly notó que, además de enfrentar una “falta generalizada de acceso a servicios de salud mental para minorías” en Estados Unidos, encontrar un terapeuta que pudiera reflejar la identidad de alguien era particularmente difícil para personas con identidades “interseccionales, es decir que tienen rasgos típicos de más de una identidad”.

Al aprender más acerca del estado de las comunidades marginalizadas en los Estados Unidos, Coly dijo que llegó a comprender sus propias experiencias con enfermedades mentales y con el cuidado en salud mental, y fue así que nació la idea de Ayana Therapy.

“Sufro de depresión severa, y al hacer mi investigación...eso me ayudó, de cierta manera, a curarme, y a tener más valor al hablar sobre ello; y fue así que nació mi deseo de contribuir con una necesidad imperiosa que vi que existía, e incluir problemáticas que yo mismo enfrenté por un tiempo y que esencialmente me dieron el ímpetu de iniciar esta compañía”, expresó.

De acuerdo con Coly, Ayana Therapy ocupará un nicho específico en el ecosistema actual de las plataformas de cuidado en salud mental. El “tope de la industria” dijo, conformado por compañías como Betterhelp y Talkspace, “atienden por defecto

HEALTH that as a person of color...that questionnaire doesn’t understand you and gives you a match that can't really get you to be open and vulnerable,” Coly said.

Apart from those bigger organizations, Coly said that there is also a subset of smaller companies, such as Latinx Therapy, that focus on particular groups from marginalized or minority communities.

In contrast, Ayana therapy has “chosen to be more responsive” in its approach.

“We focus on African-Americans, Asians, Latinx, Arabs, LGBTQ, but with a strong emphasis on intersectionality,” he said.

An important aspect of the platform is that it allows people to start therapy virtually - via the text messaging platform, call, or video conferencing. Providing virtual therapy options cuts down for some on the stigma attached to having to travel to some place to meet someone in person, as well as the cost and time drain it often poses.

The promise of anonymity is also an essential aspect of Ayana Therapy’s mission: to engage more people in seeking mental health care and make it more accessible for those who must confront both societal and culturally-specific stigma related to seeking therapy.

Coly said that though he does not have a professional background in psychology and mental health care, some of the now 30 therapists of color who have signed on to work with Ayana have mentioned that they themselves have thought of starting a similar platform or tool for marginalized communities.

Some of those therapists are bilingual, and Coly said that the company plans to have the app available in at least 8-12 languages once it launches.

Ayana, which means “mirror” in Bengali, is currently exploring other ways to partner with workplaces and college campuses to find ways to test out the app and also work to make it fi-

The app is designed so that a user will go through an anonymous process where they are not required to give a name, but instead fill out a questionnaire that is “framed entirely to be able to capture very unique aspects of you that aren’t usually considered,” explained Coly.

That information then leads to matches with therapists who in some way reflect the user’s identity. Coly said that that doesn’t mean that those matches will be the only option for users for their therapist, or that they might not ultimately prefer a therapist who doesn’t share various aspects of their identity; but it does provide them with the choice.

“What we are saying is that you should have the option to,” Coly added.

THE FUTURE OF MENTAL HEALTHCARE

Coly said the ultimate goal is to “reach millions in the next few years.” The country has changed, said Coly, and there is now more acceptance and more comfort with “being vulnerable...and transparent.”

“We want Ayana to meet them at the intersection and to meet them with a sense of gentleness, a sense that we are not going to hurt you,” said Coly.

For someone who hasn’t had therapy in the past, the introduction via mobile and online therapy may ultimately serve as a stepping stone to in-person therapy - or it in and of itself can be the kind of treatment best suited for that particular individual.

“The stigma that we are facing is being circumvented by the fact that you don’t have to face someone, face to face, you don’t have to be seen,” said Coly.

“Therapy is important. At a minimum, it’s going to be a bridge. At a minimum we’ll have made you feel as though it’s something worth getting into,” he added. ❚

personas blancas”.

“Te vinculan a un consejero mediante un cuestionario que no identifica diferentes matices, es decir como lo sería una persona de color...ese cuestionario no te entiende, pero te vincula a una persona con la que [puedes] abrirte y ser vulnerable”, dijo Coly.

Aparte de esas grandes organizaciones, Coly dijo que hay una categoría de compañías más pequeñas, tales como Latinx Therapy, que se enfocan en grupos particulares de comunidades y minorías.

A diferencia de ellos, Ayana therapy ha “elegido tener una mejor respuesta” con respecto a este enfoque.

“Nos enfocamos en afroamericanos, asiáticos, latinos, árabes, personas LGBTQ, pero con un énfasis importante en la interseccionalidad”, comentó.

Un aspecto importante de la plataforma es que permite a las personas iniciar la terapia de manera virtual, vía mensaje de texto por la plataforma, llamadas o videoconferencia.

Al ofrecer opciones para asistir a terapia virtual elimina para algunos el estigma asociado con el desplazamiento hacia algún lugar para encontrarse con alguien, así como el tiempo y costos que esto supone.

La promesa del anonimato es también un aspecto esencial de la misión de AYANA[1] therapy: invitar a más personas a buscar tratamientos de salud mental y hacer que sean más accesibles para aquellos que deben confrontar estigmas sociales y culturales específicos relacionados con

buscar terapia sicológica.

Coly dijo que a pesar de que no tiene una formación profesional en sicología o en cuidado de la salud mental, algunos de los 30 terapeutas de color que se han registrado para trabajar con Ayana han mencionado que ellos mismos han pensado en iniciar una plataforma o herramienta similar para las comunidades marginalizadas.

Algunos de esos terapeutas son bilingües, y Coly dijo que la compañía planea tener la aplicación disponible en al menos 8 o 12 idiomas una vez se haga su lanzamiento.

Ayana, que significa “espejo” en bengalí, está explorando en el momento otras maneras de asociarse con entornos laborales y campus universitarios, con el fin de poner la aplicación a prueba y lograr que sea económicamente accesible para estudiantes, trabajadores de organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro o cualquier otra persona. Coly dice que la meta es también llegar a profesionales del mundo “401K”.

La aplicación está diseñada para que el usuario pase por un proceso donde no es necesario decir el nombre, sino llenar un cuestionario que está “estructurado para captar totalmente aspectos muy únicos de usted que normalmente no se toman en consideración”, explicó Coly.

Esa información luego lleva a una lista de los terapeutas idóneos que reflejan la identidad del usuario. Coly dice que eso no quiere decir que los terapeutas que coinciden sean la única opción, o que ellos no preferirán un terapeuta que en último caso no comparta los mismos aspectos de su identidad; pero sí les ofrece la opción.

“Lo que queremos decir es que debería existir esa opción” agregó Coly said.

EL FUTURO DEL CUIDADO EN SALUD MENTAL

Coly dice que la meta principal es: “llegar a millones en los años siguientes”, el país ha cambiado, dice Coly, y ahora hay más aceptación y más comodidad con “ser vulnerable...y transparente”.

“Queremos que AYANA identifique su intersección y que se acerque con un sentido de calidez, donde sientan que no los vamos a lastimar”, dijo Coly.

Para alguien que no ha asistido a una terapia antes, una introducción al tratamiento vía teléfono móvil y en línea puede servir en última instancia como un primer escalón a la terapia en persona; o puede ser por sí sola el tipo de tratamiento que mejor se adapte a un individuo en particular.

“El estigma que enfrentamos está siendo sobrepasado por el hecho de que no hay que encontrarse con alguien cara a cara, no es necesario que lo vean”, dijo Coly.

“La terapia es importante. Como mínimo, será un puente. Como mínimo le haremos sentir que es algo que vale la pena hacer”, agregó. ❚

or years West Philadelphians looking for tasty Mexican fare have had to trek across the city. Nearby restaurant Guacamole closed its doors in 2018. The only reliable source of somewhat Mexican cuisine was Honest Tom’s, which is really an American burrito joint. Fortunately, this is no longer the case.

This past June, siblings Melina, Paulina and Carlos Barriga opened up an authentic Mexican restaurant at the corner of 45th and Spruce Streets where customers will be delighted to find classics such as enchiladas, alambres, chilaquiles and tacos, among others.

The restaurant is located at the site of the former breakfast place Farmacy, which closed earlier this year to focus on its full service location in Pal-

or años, los residentes del oeste de Filadelfia que buscaban una sabrosa comida mexicana tenían que atravesar media ciudad. El restaurante más cercano, Guacamole, cerró en 2018; y la única fuente confiable de algo similar a la comida mexicana era Honest Tom, que es en realidad un sitio de burritos al estilo americano. Afortunadamente, ese ya no es el caso.

En junio pasado los hermanos Melina, Paulina y Carlos Barriga abrieron las puertas de su auténtico restaurante mexicano en la esquina de las calles 45 y Spruce Streets, donde los clientes estarán maravillados de encontrar los clásicos como enchiladas, alambres, chilaquiles y tacos.

mira. By chance, the Barriga siblings happened to pass by and saw that the locale was empty.

“We didn’t know at the time that there weren’t other Mexican restaurants in the area,” said Melina.

“The owner of the building informed us.”

The Barrigas had been thinking for some time of opening a place of their own. Their parents operated Mexican Grill La Guera in Upper Darby when they were kids.

“I was always in the restaurant growing up. My mom taught me. I learned bit by bit,” explained Melina.

To start their new operation was to continue the family business as well as provide a more stable source of income.

“I already had the idea,” said Melina. “Sometimes I have work and sometimes not.”

They decided to open in the summer months before the students arrived to get things underway when the environment was quieter.

To their surprise, on opening day the line of customers wrapped around the block with people waiting over 40 minutes for their food.

“There were so many people,” said Melina. “It was a great reaction. The line kept on expanding.

We had to close because we ran out of so many things. It was just so many more people than we were expecting.”

The restaurant’s menu offers a wide variety of Mexican dishes similar to what you would see in a Mexico City restaurant. The many options include tacos, gorditas, enchiladas, soups, chilaquiles, ensaladas, fajitas, chile rellenos, flautas, mole con pollo and others.

I tried the Alambres Don Barriga - a mix of chicken, steak, bacon and shrimp cooked with green AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2019

and red bell peppers, onions and melted mozzarella cheese. The heaping plate offered me more food than I could handle and was delicious.

In addition to the Alambres, some of the other most popular dishes include the fajitas (chicken, steak, shrimp and vegetarian) cooked with green and red bell peppers, onions and zucchini as well as enchiladas de mole (rojas, verdes) stuffed with chicken and soaked in homemade mole sauce topped with raw onions, fresh cheese and sour cream.

On the weekends they offer barbacoa (Melina’s favorite).

There’s always aguas frescas that change daily.

“Our food is fresh and is made at the moment you order,” said Melina.

ba Farmacy, el restaurante de desayunos que cerró a principios del año para centrarse en su sede de servicio completo en Palmira. Casualmente, los hermanos Barriga vieron el local vacío al pasar por ahí.

“No sabíamos en ese momento que había otros restaurantes mexicanos en el área”, dice Melina.

“El dueño del local nos contó”.

Los Barriga habían estado pensado en abrir su propio negocio ya hacía un tiempo, ya que sus padres manejaban Mexican Grill La Guera en Upper Darby cuando eran niños.

“Siempre estuve en el restaurante a medida que iba creciendo. Mi mamá me enseñó todo y aprendí poquito a poquito”, comenta Melina.

Iniciar con operaciones nuevas significaba continuar con el negocio familiar y también tener una fuente de ingresos más estable.

“La idea ya rondaba en mi cabeza”, dice Melina. “A veces tenía empleo y a veces no”.

Decidieron abrir en los meses de verano antes de que llegaran los estudiantes, y así empezar a trabajar en el proyecto con un ambiente más calmado.

Para sorpresa suya, el día de la apertura los comensales de la fila, que doblaba la esquina, esperaron hasta 40 minutos para probar su comida. “¡Había tanta gente!”, dice Melina. “La respuesta fue fabulosa. La fila seguía creciendo. Tuvimos que cerrar porque se nos habían terminado muchas cosas. Llegaron muchas más personas de las que esperabamos”.

El menú del restaurante ofrece una amplia variedad de platos mexicanos similares a los que se encuentran en los restaurantes de Ciudad de México.

Entre las muchas opciones están los tacos, las gorditas, las enchiladas, las sopas, los chilaquiles, las ensaladas, las fajitas, los chiles rellenos, las flautas y el mole con pollo.

Yo probé los Alambres Don Barriga, una mezcla de pollo, res, tocino y camarones cocinados con pimentones verdes y rojos, cebollas y queso mozza-

rella derretido. El plato con una montaña de comida era más de lo que podía manejar, pero estaba exquisito.

Aparte de los alambres, otros platos muy populares son las fajitas (pollo, res, camarones y vegetales) cocinadas con pimentones verdes y rojos, cebollas y zucchinis; las enchiladas de mole (rojas, verdes) rellenas de pollo y remojadas en salsa de mole cacera adornadas con cebolla cruda, queso fresco y crema agria.

Los fines de semana preparan barbacoa (el favorito de Melina) y siempre hay aguas frescas que cambian todos los días.

“Nuestra comida es fresca y se prepara en el momento en que se hace el pedido”, dice Melina.

TRUMP CALLS DANISH PM “NASTY”

FRENCH DIGITAL TAX “DISCRIMINATORY”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen turned down President Trump’s interest in buying Greenland.

Frederiksen called the idea "absurd," and was thankful that “the time where you buy and sell other countries and populations is over."

Trump responded by calling her "nasty."

"You don’t talk to the United States that way," he added.

Paris wants to tax Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon, in what is now known as "GAFA tax.” During a hearing in Washington, the digital giants called the action a "troubling precedent," a "discriminatory tax," and a "brutal break of long-established rules.”

París quiere cobrar impuestos a Google, Apple, Facebook y Amazon, en lo que ahora se conoce como "impuesto GAFA". Durante una audiencia en Washington, los gigantes digitales calificaron la acción de "precedente problemático", "impuesto discriminatorio" y una "ruptura brutal de las reglas establecidas desde hace mucho tiempo".

La primera ministra danesa, Mette Frederiksen, rechazó el interés del presidente Trump en comprar Groenlandia.

Frederiksen tildó la idea de "absurda" y agradeció no vivir en la era en que "se compraba y vendía otros países y poblaciones". Trump respondió llamándola "desagradable". "Esa no es forma de dirigirse a los Estados Unidos", añadió el mandatario.

Trump said it was “certainly possible” he could invite the Kremlin to the G7’s 2020 summit in the U.S., an invitation Moscow is said to be considering.

El presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, instó al G7 a readmitir a Rusia, generando "intercambios acalorados". La membresía de Rusia fue eliminada en 2014, debido a su anexión de Crimea desde Ucrania. Trump dijo que era "ciertamente posible" que pudiera invitar al Kremlin a la cumbre 2020 del G7 en los Estados Unidos, una invitación que se dice que Moscú está considerando.

CIERRE IN CLOSING

LATINOS IN 21 CENTURY AMERICA ST

CURRENT NARRATIVES PREVAILING OVER THE U.S. MEDIA, OFTEN PORTRAYING U.S. HISPANICS AS SERVANTS, CRIMINALS OR MISTRESSES, PROVES THAT MEDIA IS NOT PROPERLY REFLECTING 21ST CENTURY AMERICA.

LA NARRATIVA ACTUAL QUE PREVALECE EN LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN ESTADOUNIDENSES A MENUDO RETRATA A LOS HISPANO-ESTADOUNIDENSES COMO SIRVIENTES, DELINCUENTES O AMANTES. DEMOSTRANDO QUE LOS MEDIOS NO REFLEJAN ADECUADAMENTE A LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DEL SIGLO XXI.

or decades, the Anglo media has either disregarded or misrepresented the Latino community in the U.S. “Anglo news media long resisted everyday coverage of Latino communities and often slanted stories to portray Latinos as strangers threatening Anglo society,” says professor Felix Gutiérrez in “More Than 200 Years of Latino Media in the United States”.

Historically, Latinxs in the U.S. have often been portrayed by traditional media as “greasy bandidos, fat mamacitas, romantic Latin lovers, lazy peons sleeping under sombreros, short-tempered Mexican spitfires, violent revolutionaries, faithful servants, gang members, and sexy señoritas with low-cut blouses and loose morals,” explains Gutiérrez.

He is not wrong, but U.S. Hispanic media — mainly TV — has also fed into these stereotypical images of Hispanic Americans.

Can growing up seeing people like you only represented as servants, criminals, or mistresses become a challenge? Claudia Romo Edelman’s visit to AL DÍA a couple of days ago provided an answer.

Not only is it a challenge, it is among the biggest challenges confronting Latinos in 21st century America: The perception we have of ourselves is largely determined by the way we are reflected by the media.

Stereotypes have survived 200 years, despite the efforts of courageous editors and publishers. However, their voices have championed the cause of telling the story of America’s Latinx community in hundreds of newspapers published throughout the country, mostly in Spanish.

Claudia defends that same idea. In order to portray a more accurate representation of Latinos, we need to change the narrative and portray them as who they are becoming, America’s new middle class.

As we complete the picture of Latinos, “a more complete history of the nation and its communities can be told to a wider public,” Professor Gutierrez says.

Quite a challenge for Hispanic media of the 21st century.

Yet, I’m sure that as the U.S. continues to develop into a multicultural and multimedia nation, so will the media focus on the nation's Latinos.❚

urante décadas, los medios de comunicación anglosajones han ignorado o representado pobremente a la comunidad latina en EE. UU. "Los medios de comunicación anglosajones se resistieron durante mucho tiempo a cubrir diariamente a las comunidad latina y a menudo modificaban las historias para retratar a los latinos como extrañas amenazas a la sociedad anglosajona", dice el profesor Félix Gutiérrez en "Más de 200 años de medios latinos en los Estados Unidos".

Históricamente, los latinos en los Estados Unidos han

sido retratados por los medios tradicionales como "bandidos grasientos, mamacitas gordas, amantes románticos, peones perezosos que duermen bajo sombreros, mexicanos con mal temperamento, revolucionarios violentos, sirvientes fieles, miembros de pandillas y señoritas sexys con blusas escotadas y de moral holgada ”, explica Gutiérrez.

No está equivocado, pero los medios hispanos de los Estados Unidos, principalmente la televisión, también han alimentado esta imagen estereotipada de los hispanoamericanos. ¿Puede crecer viendo a personas como tú solo representadas como sirvientes, delincuentes o amantes convertirse en un desafío?

La visita de Claudia Romo Edelman a AL DÍA, hace un par de días, respondió a la interrogante.

No solo es un desafío, es uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrentan los latinos en los Estados Unidos del siglo XXI: La percepción que tenemos de nosotros mismos está determinada en gran medida por la forma en que los medios nos reflejan.

Estos estereotipos han sobrevivido 200 años, a pesar de los esfuerzos de valientes editores y publicaciones. Sin embargo, sus voces han sabido defender la causa de contar historias de la comunidad latina de Estados Unidos a través de cientos de periódicos publicados en todo el país, principalmente en español.

Claudia defiende esta misma idea. Para obtener una representación más precisa de los latinos, necesitamos cambiar la narrativa y mostrarlos como en quienes se están convirtiendo, la nueva clase media de Estados Unidos.

A medida que completamos el panorama latino, "podremos contar una historia más completa de la nación y sus comunidades a un público más amplio", dice el profesor Gutiérrez.

Todo un desafío para los medios hispanos del siglo XXI. Sin embargo, estoy seguro de que a medida que EE. UU. continúe desarrollándose en una nación multicultural y multimedia, los medios pondrán su enfoque en los latinos del país.❚
