want the conversations, dilemmas and dramas that I discovered on the border to be part of literary history and literary debates”. The words are from Sergio Troncoso, a Mexican-American writer interviewed by AL DÍA for this issue. His story and his approach have to do with what it means to live in the United States-Mexico border and share cultural visions and expressions. Troncoso arrived with his family to El Paso, Texas, when he was a child. Now he considers life there is better than before. In his opinion, education is the greatest challenge for Mexicans to prosper. “Education is the way to be able to defend yourself and your community as a citizen”, Troncoso says. Troncoso now lives in New York. He studied at Harvard and Yale, where he taught fiction and nonfiction in a writers’ workshop. “The border goes beyond the border in a story about who does or doesn’t belong to the United States and how finding your place in this world comes through finding the right person to be with you”, says the writer regarding the protagonists of Nobody’s Pilgrims, his recent novel. His commitment to what happens in that environment is even greater. Troncoso adds that, as a writer, “I represent the characters of the frontier that I didn’t see in libraries, schools and bookstores”. Since school he showed his devotion to writing, working as editor of a school newspaper.

Another of this issue’s stories involves Angela Val, who returns to Philadelphia as president and CEO of Visit Philadelphia, beginning in June. She arrived to the city in 1990 as a student at Drexel University, where she graduated from hospitality management. She began working at Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, now Visit Philadelphia. She spent six years abroad and now returns to a new position, with the responsibility of strengthening the tourism industry, of which she has undoubtedly been a pioneer. “As we emerge from the pandemic, I look forward to working with our partners to rebuild the tourism industry, revitalize the economy and restore Philadelphia’s vitality”, she says.z

“Q
uiero que las conversaciones, los dilemas y los dramas que descubrí en la frontera formen parte de la historia literaria y de los debates de la literatura”. Las palabras son de Sergio Troncoso, escritor mexicano-americano entrevistado por AL DÍA para esta edición. Su historia y su enfoque tienen que ver con lo que implica vivir en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México y compartir visiones y expresiones culturales. Troncoso llegó con su familia a El Paso (Texas) cuando era un niño. Ahora considera que la vida allí es mejor que antes. A su juicio, la educación es el reto mayor que tienen los mexicanos para seguir progresando. “La educación es el camino para poder defenderte a ti mismo y a tu comunidad como ciudadano”, advierte. Troncoso vive ahora en Nueva York. Estudió en Harvard y en Yale, en donde fue profesor de ficción y no ficción en un taller de escritores. “La frontera va más allá de la frontera en una historia sobre quién pertenece o no a los Estados Unidos y cómo el hecho de encontrar tu lugar en este mundo pasa por encontrar a la persona adecuada para estar contigo”, dice el escritor al referirse a los protagonistas de Nobody’s Pilgrims, su reciente novela. Incluso, su compromiso con lo que ocurre en ese entorno es mayor. Agrega que con su condición de escritor representa “a los personajes de la frontera que no veía en las bibliotecas, las escuelas y las librerías”. Desde el colegio mostró su devoción por la escritura, siendo editor de un periódico escolar.
APOYO A FILADELFIA
Otra de las historias de esta edición tiene que ver con Angela Val, quien regresa a Filadelfia como presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Visit Philadelphia, a partir del mes de junio. Había llegado a la ciudad en 1990 como estudiante de Drexel University, en donde se graduó como licenciada en administración hotelera. Empezó trabajando en Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, que ahora es Visit Philadelphia. Estuvo seis años por fuera y regresa en el nuevo cargo, con la responsabilidad de fortalecer la industria turística, de la que sin duda ha sido pionera. “A medida que salimos de la pandemia, espero trabajar con nuestros socios para reconstruir la industria del turismo, revitalizar la economía y restaurar la vitalidad de Filadelfia”, dice.z •3

t was 1990 that Angela Val first arrived in the city of Philadelphia. She was a college freshman at Drexel University, eager to learn and adapt to a new city that she now considers her home. After graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management, Val began her professional career with the formerly-called Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation. For 17 years, she helped contribute to the organization’s growth — now Visit Philadelphia. Starting out as an executive assistant/receptionist, Val climbed up the ladder to becoming hotel program director to vice president of special projects, and finally vice president and chief external affairs officer. Over six years after leaving, she is returning as Visit Philadelphia’s new President & CEO. “I am thrilled to return to VISIT PHILADELPHIA as president and CEO, so I can give back to a city and organization that has given me so much,” she said in the announcement.
BACK FULL CIRCLE
In Val’s new role, she will be in charge of spearheading the economic engine for Philadelphia’s tourism industry. Furthermore, she’ll help support businesses, create jobs and generate taxes all with an eye toward ultimately enhancing residents’ quality of life, while simultaneously elevating the organization and city to new heights.

In his second crack to be elected as one of Pennsylvania’s two U.S. senators in the nation’s capital, Fetterman advanced to the general election for the first time after being dumped out in the primary during his 2016 run. But while it was a major victory in a field that included candidates like U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb and PA State Rep.

Pero si bien fue una gran victoria en un campo que incluía a candidatos como el representante de Estados Unidos Conor Lamb y el representante estatal de Pensilvania Malcolm Kenyatta, Fetterman no estuvo en su

She went on to talk about her husband’s campaign, which she’s been a part of the whole way, and the issues most near and dear to his heart. They include things like preserving Roe v.

That’s her husband, who is now the man of the moment for the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania alongside Gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro, but Gisele is now also the woman of the moment in the state.

The Sentencing Commission hasn’t had enough members to do important work since 2019, forcing courts to rely on outdated guidance. The commission’s empty seats recently drew the attention of two Supreme Court Justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Amy Coney Barrett. In their denial of a petition for review of a sentencing dispute, the two judges highlighted the need for an active commission to resolve issues that have created divisions among circuit courts. “I hope in the near future the Commission will be able to resume its important function in our criminal justice system,” Sotomayor wrote. Among the diverse slate of lawyers is Judge Luise Felipe Restrepo, who is nominated to be Vice Chair of the commission. Restrepo served as a United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania from 2013 to 2016. Early in his career, Restrepo served as an Assistant Federal Defender in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania as well as an Assistant Defender with the Defender Association of Philadelphia. In 2014, President Obama nominated Restrepo to the U.S Court of Appeals for the Third District, and this nomination was recommended by both Pennsylvania Senators, Democrat Bob Casey and Republican Pat Toomey.

l miércoles 11 de mayo, el presidente Biden anunció la nominación de siete abogados para formar parte de la Comisión de Sentencias de EE. UU., un comité bipartidista que ayuda a establecer políticas para castigar a las personas condenadas por delitos federales.
ESCASEZ DE COMISIONES
La Comisión de Sentencias no ha tenido suficientes miembros para hacer un trabajo significativo desde 2019, lo que obligó a los tribunales a confiar en una directriz obsoleta. Los asientos vacíos de la comisión recientemente llamaron la atención de dos jueces de la Corte Suprema, Sonia Sotomayor y Amy Coney Barrett. Al denegar una petición de revisión de la disputa de una sentencia, los dos jueces destacaron la necesidad de una comisión activa para resolver los problemas que han creado divisiones entre los tribunales del circuito: “Espero que en un futuro cercano la Comisión pueda retomar su importante función en nuestro sistema de justicia penal”, escribió Sotomayor. Entre la diversa lista de abogados, se encuentra el juez Luis Felipe Restrepo, nominado para ser vicepresidente de la Comisión. Restrepo se desempeñó como juez del Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos para el Distrito Este de Pensilvania, de 2013 a 2016. Al principio de su carrera, Restrepo se desempeñó como defensor federal asistente en el Distrito Este de Pensilvania, así como defensor asistente en la Asociación de Defensores de Filadelfia. En 2014, el presidente Obama nominó a Restrepo para la Corte de Apelaciones del Tercer Distrito de los Estados Unidos, y esta nominación fue recomendada por los senadores de Pensilvania, el demócrata Bob Casey y el republicano Pat Toomey. MAY 25 - JUNE 1, 2022
POLÍTICA COLOMBIA-BORN, LAW EDUCATED
Restrepo was born in Medellin, Colombia and moved to the states when he was two years old. He received his B.A from the University of Pennsylvania in 1981, and his J.D from Tulane University Law School in 1986. After completing law school, Restrepo served as a law clerk at the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project for one year, and then spent the next seven years as a public defender in Philadelphia. Throughout his career, Judge Restrepo often dealt with high-stakes cases. In 2005, he represented a member of a transnational criminal gang accused of capital murder, and was able to shield his client from a death sentence. In another case, Restrepo persuaded the government to withdraw its notice to seek the death penalty after presenting evidence of his client’s mental disability. As a Magistrate Judge and a District Judge, Restrepo helped establish the Eastern District’s reentry program,
ENGLISH which assists formerly incarcerated individuals with reentering their communities and leading productive lives. When he became a Third Circuit Judge, Restrepo insisted on continuing his involvement with the STAR (Supervision to Aid Reentry) Program. The program, which began in 2007 with only 12 participants, has expanded to 20 participants who meet as a group twice a week to discuss all aspects of their supervised release. In 2019, Judge Restrepo won the Champion of Justice Judicial Recognition Award from the National Criminal Defense bar for his role in creating and monitoring the program. Mary Price, general counsel of the group FAMM, which advocates for people in prison and their families, told NPR that the commission has been responsible for some of the most important reforms of the last decade. “These reforms have reduced excessive federal drug sentences for tens of thousands of people. Confirming these nominees to the Sentencing Commission can and should be the first step to building on that progress,” Price said. z
ESPAÑOL
NACIDO EN COLOMBIA, EDUCADO EN DERECHO
Restrepo nació en Medellín, Colombia, y se mudó a Estados Unidos cuando tenía dos años. Recibió su licenciatura en la University of Pennsylvania, en 1981, y su doble titulación en la Tulane University Law School, en 1986. Después de terminar Derecho, Restrepo se desempeñó como asistente legal en el American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project durante un año, y luego pasó los siguientes siete años como defensor público en Filadelfia. A lo largo de su carrera, el juez Restrepo se ocupó de casos de alto riesgo. En 2005, representó al miembro de una banda criminal transnacional, acusado de asesinato capital, y pudo proteger a su cliente de una sentencia de muerte. En otro caso, Restrepo convenció al Gobierno de que retirara su solicitud de pena de muerte, tras presentar pruebas de la discapacidad mental de su cliente. Como juez magistrado y juez de distrito, Restrepo ayudó a establecer el programa de reingreso del Distrito Este, que
ayuda a las personas anteriormente encarceladas a reinsertarse en sus comunidades y llevar una vida productiva. Cuando se convirtió en juez del Tercer Circuito, Restrepo insistió en continuar su participación en el Programa STAR (Supervision to Aid Reentry). El programa, que comenzó en 2007 con solo 12 participantes, se ha ampliado a 20, que se reúnen en grupo dos veces por semana para discutir todos los aspectos de su libertad supervisada. En 2019, el juez Restrepo ganó el Champion of Justice Judicial Recognition Award de la National Criminal Defense, por su papel en la creación y seguimiento del programa. Mary Price, consejera general del Grupo C, que aboga por las personas en prisión y sus familias, dijo a la National Public Radio (NPR) que la Comisión ha sido responsable de algunas de las reformas más importantes de la última década: “Estas reformas han reducido sentencias federales excesivas por drogas para miles de personas. Confirmar estos nominados ante la Comisión de Sentencias puede y debe ser el primer paso para avanzar sobre los logros alcanzados”, dijo Price. z

called in a recent conversation with AL DÍA News. He remembered he loved “listening to her violent and often heartbreaking stories of how people suffered in her rancho near Chihuahua. The family lore was that she had shot and killed two men who attempted to rape her during the [Mexican] Revolution. She could be vulnerable, kind, and violent all within a span of a few seconds, and I thought she was the most interesting character in my family. I often spent weekends with her, listening to her stories”. Author of eight books about immigration, Spanish culture, and the fact of being raised in a binational region as U.S.-Mexico border, Troncoso just published Nobody’s Pilgrims (Cinco Puntos Press, 2022), an adventure story about three teenagers, Turi, Molly, and Arnulfo, on the run from evil and unwittingly carrying an even greater menace in their stolen truck. “The border goes beyond the border in a story about who belongs in the United States and how finding your place in this world is about finding the right person to be with you. It’s a novel about the grit, intelligence, and luck of Turi, Arnulfo, and Molly as they face many

obstacles, including an imagined United States collapsing because of a pandemic”, the author explained. Nobody’s Pilgrims was written before 20 cases of COVID-19 existed in the U.S., and in a way, the novel predicted the pandemic that was to follow. “The pandemic in my novel is transmitted by touch, and I just thought about what would tear apart this country and set us against each other. My answer was a pandemic. The three teenagers, all outsiders, forge a community of three, even as many around them turn against each other. And that’s what the novel is about: how we fight to stay together, how we struggle and succeed in becoming a ‘we,’” he said.
A NOVEL FOR EVERYONE
Although many of his books deal with issues like immigration, borders, and Mexican-American history, Troncoso believes his work should appeal to
non-Latino readers if those readers are interested in the conflicts of love, the dilemmas of family between the traditional and the modern, and the debates about what should be meaningful in life. “I think my topics are often philosophical or psychological in nature, and so they should have universal appeal, but I always pursue them through the lens of immigrants or residents of the border, because that’s my community”, he said. Troncoso, who now lives in New York, where he taught fiction and nonfiction at the Yale Writers’ Workshop, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College and received two graduate degrees in international relations and philosophy from Yale University. “Going to Harvard was an opportunity for me, and I took it,” the author said, when asked if he agrees with an education system that seems to leave behind minorities or kids with uneasy situations at home.
“My situation was hard enough: we were dirt poor, and despite that poverty, I did well in school. Part of that was the discipline my parents taught me, and part of it was also the teachers who helped me as I did extra work,” Troncoso said.
STORIES FROM THE BORDER
After Harvard and Yale, Troncoso won a Fulbright scholarship to Mexico, where he studied economics, politics, and literature. He was inducted into the Hispanic Scholarship Fund’s Alumni Hall of Fame and the Texas Institute of Letters, a nonprofit honor society founded in 1936 to celebrate Texas literature and recognize distinctive literary achievement, of which he is now the outgoing president.

PORTADA Guild, the nation’s oldest and largest professional organization of writers. The idea of becoming a writer sparked when he was a student at Ysleta High School and editor of the school newspaper, the Pow Wow. “I thought I might be a journalist, but that’s as far as my ‘literary imagination’ allowed me. I didn’t know I could be a ‘fiction or nonfiction’ writer. I loved to argue and I enjoyed communicating complex topics in simple, direct language”, he recalled. He became a writer “to tell the stories from the U.S.-Mexico border and to represent the characters of the border that were not seen in libraries, schools
and bookstores. My motivation has never changed: I want the conversations, dilemmas and dramas that I discovered on the border to be part of literary history and literary debates”.
EMBRACING COMPLEXITY
For Troncoso, in the era of globalization, where borders are becoming meaningless and nationalism is on the rise, we all have a push-and-pull to choose sides all the time, between United States and Mexico, and between different political philosophies and ideologies. “I think the thinking person does not just choose sides, that’s simplistic and is
always fostered by social media to ‘like’ this or that. The thinking person creates her own unique self, her own unique side, and this is the essence of ‘nepantla’”, said Troncoso. When asked why should a Philadelphia reader, Hispanic or not, be interested in reading his latest novel, the author replied that any Philly reader would love Nobody’s Pilgrims if they’re interested in freedom and succeeding during difficult times. Regarding this, “The story pits Turi, Arnulfo, and Molly against problems they can’t control and problems they do control. They don’t belong with their families, and they are outsiders. Two of them are orphans, and the third is an undocumented immigrant. But they belong with each other. They are different from each other, with different values and perspectives, yet they forge a bond that allows them to risk their lives for each other. That’s how they survive. Troncoso believes that life in El Paso is better now for the Chicano or Mexican-American communities than it was when he was a child, but it is difficult to generalize this for the entire country, because each region is different. “I think what you have seen is a growing Chicano/a middle class, a community that is spreading beyond the border to other parts like the Midwest or New England or rural places where traditionally we hadn’t seen many Mexican Americans. I think that’s one reason why
sometimes you have instances of racism and xenophobia, because Mexican Americans are becoming more of the internal fabric of this country. The border is going beyond the border, so to speak.”
EDUCATION IS THE WAY
For Troncoso, the biggest challenge for Mexican-Americans is education: “We need to keep pushing the next generation not only to go and finish college but to strive for graduate and professional degrees. In my mind, education is power. Education is the road to being able to defend yourself and your community as a citizen. Education is a way to refine your voice and the way to be heard, either at the ballot box or in a literary novel. As every generation of Mexican Americans becomes more educated, you will also see a growing complexity in this community,” he said. As a consequence of this process, it will become more and more difficult to say “this is how Mexican-Americans vote”, or “this is what they think politically or culturally”. Troncoso is fluent in Spanish, both speaking and writing, as he lived in Mexico City for one year. Whenever he can, he has conversations in the language he learned from his parents, for whom he has great respect. “What I learned from my mother was to love reading and to keep to a code of ethics about how you treated people. She was muy católica, and I think that set of moral values was very important for her,” he said. z
THE WRITER’S LIFE Troncoso is the author of eight books, all of them in English: A Peculiar Kind of Immigrant’s Son; The Last Tortilla and Other Stories and Crossing Borders: Personal Essays. The novels The Nature of Truth and From This Wicked Patch of Dust. As editor, he is proud to have collaborated in Nepantla Familias: An Anthology of Mexican American Literature on Families in between Worlds, a book that brings together Mexican American narratives that explore and question the many permutations of living between different worlds. “I asked twenty-six writers to write new works (non previously published works), and I wanted them to focus on ‘nepantla’ in relation to families. ‘Nepantla’ means living between two worlds, two languages, two cultures, that ‘in-between’ place typical of many lives of Mexican Americans”, he explained.

‘Nepantla’, according to Troncoso, also tries to create something unique that combines languages and creates its own, or “create a way of seeing the world that resists the certainty that many insist on having about national identities, whether from United States or Mexico. That’s the Mexican-American experience”, he added.

cido escritor mexicano-americano en una entrevista por email con AL DÍA News. Recordó que le encantaba “escuchar sus historias violentas y a menudo desgarradoras sobre cómo sufría la gente en su rancho cerca de Chihuahua. La tradición familiar decía que había disparado y matado a dos hombres que intentaron violarla durante la revolución (mexicana). Podía ser vulnerable, amable y violenta en un lapso de pocos segundos, y yo pensaba que era el personaje más interesante de mi familia. A menudo pasaba los fines de semana con ella, escuchando sus historias”. Autor de ocho libros sobre la inmigración, la cultura hispana y el hecho de crecer en una región binacional como es la frontera mexicano-estadounidense, Troncoso acaba de publicar Nobody’s Pilgrims (Cinco Puntos Press, 2022), una historia de aventuras sobre tres adolescentes, Turi, Molly y Arnulfo, que huyen del mal y, sin saberlo, arrastran con ellos una amenaza aún mayor dentro del camión que han robado para escapar del sur. “La frontera va más allá de la frontera en una historia sobre quién pertenece o no a los Estados Unidos y cómo el hecho de encontrar tu lugar en este mundo pasa por encontrar a la persona adecuada para estar contigo. Esta es una novela sobre las agallas, la inteligencia y la suerte de Turi, Arnulfo y Molly mientras se enfrentan a muchos obstáculos, incluido un imaginario Estados Unidos que se derrumba a causa de una pandemia”, comentó el autor. Nobody’s Pilgrims (‘Los peregrinos de nadie’) se escribió cuando apenas había veinte casos de Covid-19 en Estados Unidos, por lo que, en cierto modo, la novela predijo la pandemia que iba a producirse. “La pandemia de mi novela se transmite por contacto. Yo sólo pensaba en lo que destrozaría este país y nos enfrentaría a los demás. Mi respuesta fue una pandemia. Los tres adolescentes, todos extranjeros, forjan una comunidad de tres, incluso cuando muchos a su alrededor se vuelven contra los demás. De eso trata la novela: de cómo luchamos por mantenernos unidos y logramos convertirnos en un ‘nosotros’”, relató Sergio Troncoso.

En parte fue por la disciplina que me enseñaron mis padres y, en parte también, por los profesores que me ayudaron mientras hacía trabajos extras”, dijo.

LA VIDA DE ESCRITOR Troncoso es autor de ocho libros, todos en inglés: A Peculiar Kind of Immigrant’s Son; The Last Tortilla and Other Stories y Crossing Borders: Personal Essays. Las novelas The Nature of Truth y From This Wicked Patch of Dust. Como editor, está orgulloso de haber colaborado en Nepantla Familias: An Anthology of Mexican American Literature on Families in between Worlds, un libro que reúne narrativas mexicoamericanas que exploran y cuestionan las muchas permutaciones de vivir entre mundos diferentes. “Pedí a veintiséis escritores que escribieran obras nuevas (no obras que hubieran publicado anteriormente). Y quise que se centraran en el ‘nepantla’ en relación con las familias. ‘Nepantla’ significa vivir entre dos mundos, dos lenguas, dos culturas, ese lugar ‘intermedio’ que es típico de muchas vidas de los mexicanos americanos”, explicó. ‘Nepantla’, según Troncoso también trata de crear algo único que combine lenguajes y cree el suyo propio, o “crear una forma de ver el mundo que se resista a la certeza que muchos insisten en tener sobre las identidades nacionales, ya sean de Estados Unidos o de México. Esa es la experiencia mexicoamericana”, añadió.
ESCRIBIR SOBRE LA FRONTERA
Después de Harvard y Yale, Troncoso obtuvo una beca Fulbright para viajar a México, donde estudió economía, política y literatura. Fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama de los Antiguos Alumnos del Hispanic Scholarship Fund y en el Instituto de Letras de Texas, una sociedad de honor sin ánimo de lucro fundada en 1936 para celebrar la literatura tejana y reconocer los logros literarios, de la que ahora es el presidente saliente. Es miembro de PEN America, organización de escritores que protege la libertad de expresión, y del Authors Guild, la organización profesional de escritores más antigua y grande del país. La idea de convertirse en escritor surgió cuando estudiaba en el instituto de Ysleta y era editor del periódico escolar Pow Wow. “Pensé que podría ser periodista, pero has-

PORTADA ta ahí llegó mi ‘imaginación literaria’. No sabía que podía ser escritor de ‘ficción o no ficción’. Me encantaba discutir y disfrutaba comunicando temas complejos en un lenguaje sencillo y directo”, recordó. Se convirtió en escritor “para contar las historias de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México y para representar a los personajes de la frontera que no veía en las bibliotecas, las escuelas y las librerías. Mi motivación nunca ha cambiado: quiero que las conversaciones, los dilemas y los dramas que descubrí en la frontera formen parte de la historia literaria y de los debates de la literatura”.
ABRAZAR LA COMPLEJIDAD
Para Troncoso, en plena globalización, con las fronteras perdiendo sentido y los nacionalismos en auge, todos sentimos ese impulso a elegir un solo bando, entre Estados Unidos y México, entre diferentes filosofías e ideologías políticas. “Creo que la persona pensante no se limita a elegir un bando, eso es simplista y está fomentado por las redes sociales, que nos fuerzan a dar ‘me gusta’ a esto o aquello. La persona pensante crea su propio y único yo y esta es la esencia de ‘nepantla’”, dijo. A la pregunta de por qué un lector de Filadelfia, hispano o no, debería estar interesado en leer su reciente novela, respondió que a cualquiera le encantaría si está interesado en la libertad y en triunfar en tiempos difíciles. Al respecto añadió que “la historia enfrenta a Turi, Arnulfo y Molly a problemas que no pueden controlar y que sí controlan. No pueden contar con sus familias y son extranjeros. Dos de ellos son huérfanos y el tercero es inmigrante indocumentado. Pero pertenecen unos a otros. Son diferentes entre sí, con valores y perspectivas diferentes, y sin embargo forjan un vínculo que les permite arriesgar sus vidas por los demás. Así es como sobreviven”. Troncoso tiene la impresión de que la vida en El Paso es mejor para las comunidades chicanas o mexicoamericanas que cuando era niño, pero es difícil generalizarlo para todo el país, porque cada región es diferente. “Creo que lo que se ha visto es una creciente clase media chicana, una comunidad que se está extendiendo más allá de la frontera a otras partes como el Medio Oeste o Nueva Inglaterra o lugares rura-

les donde tradicionalmente no habíamos visto muchos mexicano-americanos. Es una de las razones por las que a veces se dan casos de racismo y xenofobia, porque se están convirtiendo en el tejido interno de este país. La frontera está traspasando la frontera, por así decirlo”.
EL CAMINO ES LA EDUCACIÓN
Para Troncoso, el mayor reto para los mexicano-americanos es la educación. “Tenemos que seguir animando a las nuevas generaciones no solo para que vayan y
terminen la universidad, sino para que se esfuercen por obtener títulos de posgrado y profesionales. La educación es el camino para poder defenderte a ti mismo y a tu comunidad como ciudadano. La educación es una forma de afinar tu voz y la manera de ser escuchado, ya sea en las urnas o en una novela literaria. A medida que cada generación de mexicano-estadounidenses se vuelve más educada, también se verá una creciente complejidad en esta comunidad”, dijo. Como consecuencia de este proceso, según Troncoso, será cada vez más difí-

Era muy católica, y creo que ese conjunto de valores morales era muy importante para ella”, recordó. z

AN ANNOUNCED FAILURE?
In her article from May 21st, Janaína Figueiredo states that “the Summit of the Americas leaves Joe Biden on the verge of a delicate defeat” and that “the United States Government is speeding up efforts to try to save the regional meeting which will be hosted in June in Los Angeles; the dilemma of the guests and the lack of a common agenda, the main challenges”. She points out that “at the Summit of the Americas in April 2018, held in Lima, the then President of the United States, Donald Trump, warned at the last minute that he would not participate in the event. Four years later, President Joe Biden is juggling to prevent the Summit […] from being a real failure. His final efforts include […] frantic negotiations by former Democratic Senator Chris Dodd, designated special adviser for the summit, […] to get presidents Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Jair Bolsonaro to confirm his presence. Mexico and Brazil currently occupy rotating seats on the United Nations Security Council. The absence of both leaders at the Summit would be, at the very least, a delicate defeat for the US Government”. En su artículo de este 21 de mayo, Janaína Figueiredo plantea que “la Cumbre de las Américas deja a Joe Biden al borde de una delicada derrota” y que “el gobierno de Estados Unidos agiliza las gestiones para tratar de salvar el encuentro regional, del que será anfitrión en junio en Los Ángeles; el dilema de los invitados y la falta de una agenda común, los principales desafíos”. Señala que “en la Cumbre de las Américas de abril del 2018, realizada en Lima, el entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, avisó a último minuto que no participaría del evento. Cuatro años más tarde, el presidente Joe Biden hace malabares para impedir que la cumbre (…) sea un verdadero fracaso. Sus esfuerzos finales incluyen (…) negociaciones frenéticas del exsenador demócrata Chris Dodd, designado asesor especial para la cumbre, (…)para lograr que los presidentes Andrés Manuel López Obrador y Jair Bolsonaro confirmen su presencia. México y Brasil ocupan actualmente asientos rotativos en el Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas. La ausencia de ambos mandatarios en la cumbre sería, como mínimo, una delicada derrota para el gobierno norteamericano”.

SUMMIT OF CONTENTION?
In the main article of May 19th, the newspaper of Cali (Colombia) refers to the Summit of the Americas to be held in Los Angeles. It says: “Despite its importance, this scenario has not been as productive as expected. The reasons begin with the great differences of social, economic, and political nature among its members, continue with the ideological influences that, many times, impede a fluid dialogue, and culminate with the realities experienced by their people. [...] But there are also factors that divide, such as migratory trends caused by economic problems like those experienced in Central America or political ones like those in Venezuela, Cuba or Nicaragua, which leads to the creation of extreme measures such as walls to stop that migration caused by the need to seek a better or at least a more stable future. These are walls that reflect the drama of inequality, poverty and lack of opportunities”. En el editorial del 19 de mayo, el diario de Cali (Colombia), se refiere a la Cumbre de las Américas que se celebrará en Los Ángeles. Dice: “No obstante su importancia, ese escenario no ha sido lo productivo que se esperaba. Las razones empiezan por las enormes diferencias de carácter social, económico y político entre sus integrantes, siguen por las influencias ideológicas que en muchas ocasiones impiden un diálogo fluido y culminan con las realidades que viven sus pueblos. (…) Pero también existen factores que dividen, como las tendencias migratorias causadas por problemas económicos como los que se viven en Centroamérica o políticos como los que existen en Venezuela, Cuba o Nicaragua, lo que lleva a crear medidas extremas como los muros para detener esa migración ocasionada en la necesidad de buscar un futuro mejor o por lo menos más estable. Son paredes que reflejan el drama de la desigualdad, de la pobreza y la falta de oportunidades”.

The editorial of the Madrid newspaper refers to the decision of Biden’s administration regarding Cuba: “they reversed some of the 240 sanctions adopted by Donald Trump in areas that cover both personal and economic relationships”, it points out in the publication of May 20th. Further on, it says: “The United States aims to issue 20,000 immigrant visas per year, it will facilitate the reunification of separated families through regular channels and allow ‘authorized’ American travelers to establish contacts with the island. The announcement also includes the promotion of the Cuban private sector and support for internet services, applications and ecommerce platforms in the United States, in addition to raising the maximum of 1,000 dollars [...] per quarter in family remittances and supporting donations to Cuban businessmen. […] The objective is to counteract the damage caused by Trump during his presidency, after the resumption of relations that Obama promoted in 2015 at the end of his term”. El editorial del diario madrileño se refiere a la decisión de la administración Biden sobre Cuba. “(…) revierten algunas de las 240 sanciones adoptadas por Donald Trump en ámbitos que abarcan tanto las relaciones personales como las económicas”, señala en la publicación del 20 de mayo. Más adelante dice: “Estados Unidos se propone expedir 20.000 visados de inmigrante al año, propiciará el reencuentro por canales regulares de familias separadas y permitirá que los viajeros estadounidenses ‘autorizados’ establezcan contactos con la isla. El anuncio incluye también el fomento del sector privado cubano y el apoyo a los servicios de internet, aplicaciones y plataformas de comercio electrónico de Estados Unidos, además de levantar el máximo de 1.000 dólares (…) por trimestre en remesas familiares y apoyar las donaciones a los empresarios cubanos.

LOOTING, MACROECONOMICS AND FTA WITH UNITED STATES
Economic analyst Aurelio Suárez presents a balance of what the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States has been for Colombia. “The neoliberals, happy: cheap goods, investments, etc. They hide that the deficit in the trade of merchandise and services and in capital income contributes to the red numbers of Colombia’s external accounts. The FTA with the US rigorously complies with the motto ‘Money goes where it can go’. The three negative items together cost between 6,000 and 7,000 million dollars a year, between 2 and 3 percent of GDP, which is 40 to 50 percent of the balance of Colombia’s deficit on the foreign front. That is the size of the annual looting of the FTA with the United States. Such a ‘dollar pipeline’ is financed with public debt, with a clear fiscal effect on the Housing and credit entrapment. It was not a lifesaver, but a stone tied around the neck. [...] ten years of looting of work, wealth, and national public and private savings”. El analista económico Aurelio Suárez plantea un balance de lo que ha sido para Colombia el Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) con Estados Unidos. “Los neoliberales, felices: bienes baratos, inversiones, etc. Ocultan que el déficit en el comercio de mercancías y servicios y en renta de capitales contribuye a los números rojos de las cuentas externas de Colombia. El TLC con EU cumple con rigor la máxima ‘el dinero va a donde puede salir’. Los tres rubros negativos juntos cuestan entre 6.000 y 7.000 millones de dólares al año, entre 2 y 3 por ciento del PIB, que es del 40 al 50 por ciento del saldo del faltante de Colombia en el frente exterior. Ese es el tamaño del saqueo anual del TLC con Estados Unidos. Tal ‘dolarducto’ se financia con deuda pública, con el obvio efecto fiscal en la Hacienda y el entrampamiento crediticio. No fue salvavidas, sino piedra de molino al cuello. (…) Son diez años de saqueo de trabajo, de riqueza y ahorro nacionales público y privado”.

oinciding with Mother’s Day on May 1, Spanish singer Rigoberta Bandini presented to the world the long-awaited music video for “Ay mama,” the song that thrilled hundreds of thousands of viewers during her participation in the Benidorm Fest. Despite not winning the contest, which meant representing Spain in the Eurovision, the vindictive and transgressive song was a benchmark. Its unfiltered denunciation of patriarchy, in which the role of mothers in society is honored and claims like “I don’t know why our boobs are so scary” are commonplace, received accusations of alleged censorship. After the long-awaited music video of the song was published, several women who participated in the filming denounced the absence of real breasts in the video on social media, because “did not fit” for the director
CENSORED IMAGES
Illustrator Nazareth Dos Santos, who was invited along with other activists to help create the video, said that “they wanted to record scenes in which we showed our breasts to fight against censorship, both with the lyrics of the song and with the music video.” For this purpose, they recorded many “beautiful scenes,” with breasts of all kinds: large, small, with stretch marks, scars, small, medium or large nipples. Women of color, young or old. It was an exercise of “diversity and reality,” which paradoxically ended up being a victim of self-censorship. In her message, Dos Santos thought it important to expose that “sometimes things are not changing as much as they make us see.” On social media, she was especially uncomfortable that it was a male director, Salvador Sunyer, who decided that their diversity did not fit in a song that demands eliminating prejudices about female breasts. After the storm unleashed, Bandini kept silent. During the video, the singer and dancers appear half-naked and wearing body makeup, with constant allusions to the dedicated work of mothers feeding their babies. The director, who had total creative freedom, tried to “look at the woman as a creator in absolute terms.” For this, he composed a symbolic jour-

oincidiendo con el Día de la Madre del primero de mayo, la cantante española Rigoberta Bandini quiso presentarle al mundo el esperado videoclip de ‘Ay mamá’, la canción con la que emocionó a cientos de miles de telespectadores durante su participación en el Benidorm Fest. Pese a no ganar el certamen, cuyo premio suponía representar a España en el festival de Eurovisión, la canción reivindicativa y transgresora marcó un antes y un después. Paradójicamente, aquella denuncia sin filtros del patriarcado, en que se reivindica el rol de las madres en la sociedad y se exclama que “no sé porque dan tanto miedo nuestras tetas”, recibió acusaciones de presunta censura. Tras publicarse el esperado videoclip de la canción, varias mujeres que participaron en el rodaje denunciaron en redes sociales la ausencia de pechos reales en las imágenes, ya que al director “no le encajaban”.
IMÁGENES CENSURADAS
La ilustradora Nazareth Dos Santos, a quien invitaron junto a otras activistas a grabar el clip, señaló que “querían grabar escenas en las que enseñáramos nuestros pechos para luchar contra la censura, tanto con la letra de la canción como con el videoclip”. Para ello, les grabaron muchas “escenas preciosas”, con senos de todo tipo: grandes, pequeños, con estrías, cicatrices, pezones pequeños, medianos o grandes. Mujeres de color, jóvenes o maduras. Un excelente ejercicio de “diversidad y realidad”, que paradójicamente acabó siendo víctima de la autocensura. En su mensaje, Dos Santos consideró importante exponer que “a veces las cosas no están cambiando tanto como nos hacen ver”. En redes sociales incomodó especialmente que fuera un director hombre, Salvador Sunyer, quien decidiera que los pechos y su diversidad no encajaban en una canción que exige eliminar los prejuicios sobre los senos femeninos. Tras la tormenta desatada, Rigoberta Bandini guardó riguroso silencio. Durante el video, aparecen la cantante y bailarinas semidesnudas con maquillaje corporal, con constantes alusiones al dedicado trabajo de las madres alimentando a sus bebés.

Nipple paintings also stand out and the censorship of boobs on social media is symbolically destroyed. They created a 3D image of the face of Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, as a metaphor. Dos Santos and her fellow feminists wondered: “If you can do a 3D with Zuckerberg’s face, why can’t you fit female breasts in the final cut?” She was especially annoyed that ultimately sagging or scarred breasts were not featured, and that the only real breasts that appeared were at the beginning, when Bandini and her dancers begin the choreography with their bodies covered in mud. In his defense, the director argued: “I know it is a very complicated and sensitive issue, but the decision not to include them has been mine and it is purely artistic.” He concluded: “Nobody wanted to censor anything, I decided that in the end it didn’t work with the rest of the clip.” Despite his explanation, it seems that there are those who are still afraid of boobs.z

Dos Santos y sus compañeras feministas se preguntaron: “¿si eres capaz de hacer un 3D con la cara de Zuckerberg, por qué no puedes hacer que te encajen unos pechos femeninos en el corte final?”. Les molestó especialmente que finalmente no figuraran los pechos caídos o con cicatrices, y que los únicos senos reales que aparecieran fueran al inicio, cuando Bandini y sus bailarines empiezan la coreografía con sus cuerpos cubiertos de barro. En su defensa, el director argumentó que “sé que es un tema muy complicado y sensible, pero la decisión de no incluirlos ha sido mía y es puramente artística”. Y culminó: “nadie ha querido censurar nada, decidí que al final no funcionaba con el resto del clip”. Pese a todo, parece que hay quienes siguen teniendo miedo a las tetas. z

Because The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor is much more than the journey of the crew member Luis Alejandro Velasco on high seas. It is a captivating journey from journalism to literature that forever marked Gabo’s career: how he based his literary narrative on research, in the journalistic universe, his broadest and most important input, and the fundamental purpose of the Gabo Foundation”, said the organization through a statement to explain the origin of the initiative. The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor has a special relevance because it is the first journalistic book by García Márquez, until then a fiction author, opening a new stage in his literary career in which he fuses journalistic investigation with literature, giving rise to titles like Clandestine in Chile: The Adventures of Miguel Littin (1986) or News of a kidnapping (1996). “The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor marks an essential landmark in the life and legacy of García Márquez and vast similarities with the work and evolution of Gabo Foundation”, the statement added. “While this work goes from being a special report in a newspaper to be one of Tusquets’ best-selling books, Gabo travels from Colombia to a gray, troubled Spain, in the last years of the dictatorship, but in the which beats a feeling of renewal that translates into an exceptional moment for country’s publishers. It is in that Spain where Gabo connects with Latin American literature and where the boom began to take shape. That trip to Barcelona was crucial for the life of the writer from Aracataca, as it was the castaway’s journey”. The Gabo Foundation also stated that the investigation of the podcast was carried out by journalists Xavi Ayén, writer and journalist for Barcelona newspaper La Vanguardia, and Nelson Fredy Padilla, editor of El Espectador, “experts in the work of the Colombian Nobel Prize winner”. The episodes will be published weekly, every Thursday, and will be available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Ivoox, Podcast and RTVCPlay platforms. z

ESPAÑOL rial barcelonesa Tusquets publicó estas crónicas en forma de libro, dando lugar a una obra única, mezcla de periodismo y literatura.. Con el fin de recuperar la importancia de una “obra que es un referente magistral sobre cómo navegar entre el periodismo y la literatura”, la Fundación Gabo, en colaboración con el colombiano Sistema de Medios Públicos (RTVC) y Podium Pódcast, de PRISA Audio, ha decidido publicar un pódcast de cinco episodios para volver a contar este relato universal. “Cincuenta años más tarde, sigue siendo fascinante leerlo y descifrar cómo Gabriel García Márquez pudo navegar magistralmente entre las aguas del periodismo y la literatura para regalarnos un referente de nuestro tiempo. Porque ‘Relato de un náufrago’ es mucho más que la travesía del tripulante Luis Alejandro Velasco en altamar. Es un trayecto cautivador del periodismo a la literatura que marcó para siempre la carrera de Gabo: cómo cimentó su narración literaria en la investigación, en el universo periodístico, su insumo más amplio e importante, y la razón de ser de la Fundación Gabo”, dijo la organización a través de un comunicado para explicar el origen de la iniciativa. ‘Relato de un náufrago’ tiene una especial relevancia por tratarse del primer libro periodístico de García Márquez, hasta entonces un autor de ficción, abriendo una nueva etapa en su carrera literaria en la que fusiona la investigación periodística con la literatura, dando fruto a títulos como ‘La aventura de Miguel Littin clandestino en Chile’ (1986) o ‘Noticia de un secuestro’(1996). “‘Relato de un náufrago’ marca un hito esencial en la vida y legado de García Márquez, y guarda enormes semejanzas con el quehacer y la evolución de la Fundación Gabo”, añade el comunicado. “Al tiempo que esta obra pasa de ser un reportaje especial en un periódico y se convierte en uno de los libros más vendidos de Tusquets, Gabo transita de Colombia a una España gris, atribulada, en los últimos años de la dictadura, pero en la que late un sentimiento de renovación que se traduce en un momento excepcional para las editoriales del país. Es en esa España en la que Gabo conecta con la literatura latinoamericana y en la que comienza a gestarse el Boom. Ese viaje a Barcelona es trascendental para la vida del escritor de Aracataca, como lo fue la travesía del náufrago”. La Fundación Gabo expresó también que la investigación del podcast estuvo a cargo de los periodistas Xavi Ayén, escritor y periodista del diario La Vanguardia, de Barcelona, y Nelson Fredy Padilla, editor de El Espectador, “conocedores natos de la obra del Nobel colombiano”. Los episodios se publicarán semanalmente, cada jueves, y estarán disponibles en las plataformas Apple Podcast, Spotify e Ivoox de Podium Podcast y RTVCPlay. z

It’s been a bit of a stressful year for everyone, and stress tends to reduce our mental capacity and focus. That’s okay! It just means we need to be intentional about maintaining, or regaining, our focus--and we have the perfect suggestion: •Track What You’re Learning This tip has multiple benefits. Harvard Health explains that novel tasks and information (learning something new) stimulate the brain and help keep it sharp and agile. If you track your progress in writing, with quick summaries of the new information or skills you learn each day, you add another layer to your brain workout. The process of writing, particularly by hand, improves

It also extends to the social engagement of the elderly in the collectivity.

STAYING FIT
Let’s face it: as the weather gets colder, this year’s health and safety guidelines mean we’ll be spending more time inside than usual. If you’re someone who walks, runs, bikes, or hikes every day, you may be wondering how you’ll keep up your exercise routine through the winter. That’s where this active aging trend comes in: • Body Weight Training The advantages of body weight training cannot be understated. First of all, it’s always accessible, no matter the time of day or night, the weather outside, or the health and safety considerations in the community. With body weight training, it’s you making yourself more fit. Beyond convenience, body weight training offers the advantage of meeting your ability where it’s at and improving your strength, balance, and coordination based on your body’s unique needs. Try these five SilverSneakers bodyweight exercises for a simple, but effective, do-anywhere workout.
INTERNAL INSIGHTS
You’ve got the mind and the body taken care of, but let’s not forget your gut. What we eat has the power to give or take energy, and increase mental and physical wellness. One of the top trends this year (and the last few years) continues to be big, but also flexible enough to fit into your personal dietary needs: • Plant-Based Eating “Plant-based” has become a broader
dietary term that encompasses more than just vegetarianism and veganism. Plant-based eating emphasizes fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and grains. For some, it means going strictly vegan, and for others it means simply reducing the amount of meat and dairy products they eat on a daily or weekly basis. If you fall into the latter category, choose a meal or two each week to “go veg,” or find ways to pack your meal plan with even more fruits and veggies. Benefits of plant-based eating include improving heart health, gut health, and mental acuity. Plant-based eating is also good for the environment.
ACTIVE LIVING
Active living involves all the ways you fill your time with friends, family, entertainment, and hobbies. While travel and large gatherings are somewhat restricted at the moment, the changes are allowing for new experiences. Try this new trend to keep active this fall: • Al Fresco Dining with Friends Many restaurants have expanded their seating areas onto sidewalks and streets. It’s a refreshing way to support local establishments and enjoy fresh air and community ambiance. Some are even petitioning for the permanent adoption of expanded dining areas. Make a list of places to lunch, and meet up with your friends or family outside for some good food and crisp, fall air. Active aging is an art, and the trends that support it evolve along with the times. Use these suggestions to help you keep your routine fresh and keep yourself fit inside and out.z

MANTENERSE EN FORMA
Reconozcámoslo: a medida que el tiempo se vuelve más frío, las directrices de salud y seguridad de este año significan que pasaremos más tiempo dentro de casa de lo habitual. Si usted es una persona que camina, corre, monta en bicicleta o va de excursión todos los días, quizá se pregunte cómo va a mantener su rutina de ejercicios durante el invierno. Ahí es donde entra esta tendencia de envejecimiento activo: •El entrenamiento con el peso del cuerpo Las ventajas del entrenamiento con el peso del cuerpo no se pueden subestimar. En primer lugar, siempre es accesible, sin importar la hora del día o de la noche, el tiempo que haga fuera o las consideraciones de salud y seguridad en la comunidad. Con el entrenamiento con el peso del cuerpo, eres tú quien se pone más en forma. Más allá de la comodidad, el entrenamiento con el peso del cuerpo ofrece la ventaja de adaptarse a su capacidad y mejorar su fuerza, equilibrio y coordinación en función de las necesidades únicas de su cuerpo. Prueba estos cinco ejercicios de peso corporal de SilverSneakers para un entrenamiento sencillo, pero eficaz, que puedes realizar en cualquier lugar.
ALGUNAS IDEAS HACIA EL INTERIOR
Ya tienes la mente y el cuerpo cuidados, pero no nos olvidemos de tu intestino. Lo que comemos tiene el poder de dar o quitar energía y aumentar el bienestar mental y físico. Una de las principales tendencias de este año (y de los últimos años) sigue siendo grande, pero también lo suficientemente flexible como para adaptarse a tus necesidades dietéticas personales:
• La alimentación basada en plantas “Basado en plantas” se ha convertido en un término dietético más amplio que abarca más que el vegetarianismo y el veganismo. La alimentación basada en plantas hace hincapié en las frutas, las verduras, las alubias, las legumbres y los cereales. Para algunos, significa ser estrictamente vegano, y para otros significa simplemente reducir la cantidad de carne y productos lácteos que comen a diario o semanalmente. Si se encuentra en esta última categoría, elija una o dos comidas a la semana para “ser vegano”, o busque formas de llenar su plan de comidas con más frutas y verduras. Los beneficios de la alimentación vegetal incluyen la mejora de la salud del corazón, la salud intestinal y la agudeza mental. La alimentación vegetal también es buena para el medio ambiente.
VIDA ACTIVA
La vida activa incluye todas las formas de llenar tu tiempo con amigos, familia, entretenimiento y aficiones. Aunque los viajes y las grandes reuniones están algo restringidos en este momento, los cambios están permitiendo nuevas experiencias. Prueba esta nueva tendencia para mantenerte activo este otoño: •Cenar al aire libre con los amigos Muchos restaurantes han ampliado sus zonas de descanso a las aceras y las calles. Es una forma refrescante de apoyar a los establecimientos locales y disfrutar del aire fresco y el ambiente de la comunidad. Algunos incluso están solicitando la adopción permanente de zonas de comedor ampliadas. Haga una lista de lugares para comer y reúnase con sus amigos o familiares al aire libre para disfrutar de una buena comida y del aire fresco del otoño. El envejecimiento activo es un arte, y las tendencias que lo sustentan evolucionan con los tiempos. Utilice estas sugerencias para mantener su rutina fresca y mantenerse en forma por dentro y por fuera. z

FROM PAGE ANGELA VAL’S HOMECOMING From pag. 6 |
Throughout her career, Val has developed into becoming one of the city’s most recognized trailblazers within the tourism and industry industry. Since the start of the new millennium, she has played an important role in just about every major event the City of Philadelphia has hosted, including the Republican National Convention (RNC) in 2000, the 2015 World Meeting of Families and Papal Visit, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 2016, and the 2017 NFL Draft. Whether it was with Visit Philly, the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau, or her current position with Tempest, Val has been a staple and esteemed leader across Philadelphia circles. As she prepares for her next stint with Visit Philadelphia, the city’s pandemic recovery is at the forefront of her list of priorities. “As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, I look forward to working with our partners to build back the tourism industry, reinvigorate the economy and restore the vibrancy of Philadelphia,
ENGLISH
which is so essential to attracting leisure travelers,” said Val. She will officially begin her new role June 27, 2022.
REACTIONS
Val’s track record has made her a praised selection for this new role, as expressed by Manuel N. Stamatakis, chair of Visit Philadelphia’s board of directors. “With a passion for Philadelphia and a proven record rooted in collaboration, partnership and consensus-building, we are confident Angela’s return to VISIT PHILADELPHIA will accelerate the city forward as travel and tourism return in full force,” he said. Mayor Jim Kenney, who has worked closely with Val in her roles for the DNC Host Committee and PHLCVB, shared a similar sentiment. “I’m confident her commitment to collaboration and ability to develop strategic initiatives will help position Philadelphia for a strong tourism rebound after the pandemic,” he said. z

Sea con Visit Philly, con la Oficina de Convenciones y Visitantes de Filadelfia o en su puesto actual en Tempest, Val ha sido una líder estimada en los círculos de Filadelfia. Mientras se prepara para su próxima etapa en Visit Philadelphia, la recuperación de la ciudad ante la pandemia está al frente de su lista de prioridades: “A medida que salimos de la pandemia, espero trabajar con nuestros socios para reconstruir la industria del turismo, revitalizar la economía y restaurar la vitalidad de Filadelfia, que es tan esenciwal para atraer a los turistas”, dijo Val.
El 27 de junio de 2022 comenzará oficialmente su nuevo cargo.
REACCIONES

Stamatakis, presidente de la junta directiva de Visit Philadelphia: “Con una pasión por Filadelfia y un historial comprobado arraigado en la colaboración, la asociación y la creación de consenso, confiamos en que el regreso de Angela a Visit Philadelphia acelerará el avance de la ciudad, a medida que los viajes y el turismo regresen con toda su fuerza”. El alcalde Jim Kenney, quien ha trabajado de cerca con Val en sus funciones para el Comité Anfitrión de DNC y PHLCVB, compartió un sentimiento similar: “Estoy seguro de que su compromiso con la colaboración y su capacidad para desarrollar iniciativas estratégicas ayudarán a posicionar a Filadelfia para un fuerte repunte del turismo después de la pandemia”. z

very member of a community plays a vital role. “Anchor institutions,” refers to institutions that utilize their resources to impact and improve the well-being of the communities in which they reside. By their very definition, anchor institutions must be focused on being the difference-makers, empowering their communities to address their needs. For Holy Family, our mission of educational excellence is the service we provide. At Holy Family University, with campuses in Northeast Philadelphia and Newtown, Bucks County, our service is educating the community to benefit the community. Our students and alumni grow up here, are educated here, and share their knowledge and life’s work to better these communities. We take this powerful promise to heart. These partnerships require strong relationships and trust, each of which must be cultivated over time and earned by action. At Holy Family, these connections are forged through transparency and communication of our shared values, strong visions, and consistency. Community members must be respected, seen, heard, and acknowledged, and should be welcomed into the “home” of the anchor institution beyond the business purpose, such as for speakers’ series, use of fields, art installations, and community outreach such as volunteer drives to benefit local organizations, as well as community events such as vaccine clinics, voting, reflection services and more. For an anchor institution, the community is its lifeblood, and conversely, members of the community must see themselves reflected in the anchor institution. The Holy Family community’s energy and inspiration are derived from those who surround us. There is a reciprocity of investment (time, resources, capital) between the anchor institution and its community. While other institutions might have had to remain stagnant during the pandemic, due to strong fiscal practices, we were able to continue with capital improvement projects, including a new

ENGLISH turf field, which employed many local contractors and construction companies. Over time there becomes a cycle of community members utilizing the services of, and building relationships with, the anchor institution, then going back into the community for work and service, which then contributes back to the culture and growth of the institution as well as the community. Recently, alumna Lisette Agosto Cintron was honored as an Al Dia Women of Merit. Having received a doctorate in education leadership at Holy Family University, Agosto Cintron is a principal at The School District of Philadelphia, continuing that cycle of service and education. Connective ties are broadened and deepened throughout the community with corporate partnerships, such as internships, providing mutually beneficial opportunities for local and regional businesses while developing connections for the participants. The focus must not be just on undergraduate education, but also certificate pathways and graduate programs to allow community members to continue to advance in their careers. While many of Holy Family University’s students come to us right out of high school, 40% of our students are over 25 years old. Lifelong learning is how we continue to break boundaries and innovate for the future, building up the community around us. At Holy Family University, we are so proud of those at our institution and those who surround us in our communities. They are the embodiment of our highest aspirations. They encapsulate why we get up each morning and give all that we have. Holy Family University is for the community and of the community, and this becomes the difference-maker in transforming lives through higher education. z Dr. Anne Prisco is the president of Holy Family University. Prior to joining Holy Family University, Dr. Prisco was president of Felician University and vice president at Loyola Marymount University. She was a faculty member at St. John’s University, and held senior leadership roles at Hunter College and Lehman College, CUNY. Dr. Prisco serves on a number of local and national boards.

ada miembro de una comunidad desempeña un papel vital. El concepto de instituciones ancla hace referencia a aquellas instituciones que utilizan sus recursos para impactar y mejorar el bienestar de las comunidades en las que residen. Por su definición, dichas instituciones deben centrarse en marcar la diferencia, empoderando a sus comunidades para abordar sus necesidades. Para Holy Family, nuestra misión de excelencia educativa es el servicio que brindamos. En Holy Family University, con sedes en el noreste de Filadelfia y en Newtown, condado de Bucks, nuestro objetivo es educar a la comunidad para beneficiarla. Nuestros estudiantes y exalumnos crecen aquí, se educan aquí y comparten sus conocimientos y su trabajo para mejorar estas comunidades. Nos tomamos en serio esta gran promesa. Estas asociaciones requieren relaciones sólidas y confianza, las cuales deben cultivarse con el tiempo y ganarse con la acción. En Holy Family, estas conexiones se forjan a través de la transparencia y la comunicación de nuestros valores, visión y consistencia. Los miembros de la comunidad deben ser respetados, vistos, escuchados y reconocidos, y deben ser bienvenidos en el “hogar” de la institución ancla, más allá del propósito comercial. La idea es que aprovechen las instalaciones como conferencistas, usen los campos y las instalaciones de arte y efectúen acciones de alcance comunitario, como campañas de voluntariado para beneficiar a organizaciones locales e impulsar eventos como servicios de vacunación, mesas de votación y servicios de reflexión, entre otros. Para una institución ancla, la comunidad es su alma, y esta debe verse reflejada en aquella. Así, la energía y la inspiración de Holy Family se deriva de quienes nos rodean. Existe una reciprocidad de inversión (tiempo, recursos, capital) entre la institución ancla y su comunidad. Si bien es posible que otras instituciones hayan tenido que permanecer estancadas durante la pandemia, debido a las sólidas prácticas fiscales, pudimos continuar con los proyectos de mejora de bienes de capital, incluida la construcción de una nueva cancha artificial, que empleó a
muchos contratistas y empresas constructoras locales. Los miembros de la comunidad utilizan los servicios de la institución principal, construyen relaciones con ella y, luego, regresan allí para trabajar y prestar sus servicios, formando un ciclo en el que la cultura y el crecimiento de la institución se refleja en el de la comunidad. Recientemente, la exalumna Lisette Agosto Cintron fue honrada como Mujer de Mérito AL DÍA. Con un doctorado en liderazgo educativo de la la Holy Family University, Agosto Cintron es directora del Distrito Escolar de Filadelfia, cargo con el que continúa un ciclo de servicio y educación. Los lazos se amplían y profundizan en toda la comunidad, a través de asociaciones corporativas como las pasantías, que benefician a las empresas locales y regionales, mientras que permiten a sus participantes desarrollar conexiones. El enfoque no debe estar solo en la educación de pregrado, sino también en otras vías de certificación y programas de posgrado que permitan a los miembros de la comunidad continuar avanzando en sus carreras. Si bien muchos de los estudiantes de la Holy Family University vienen a nosotros recién egresados de la escuela secundaria, el cuarenta por ciento tienen más de 25 años. El aprendizaje permanente es la forma en que continuamos rompiendo fronteras e innovando para el futuro, construyendo la comunidad que nos rodea. En la Holy Family University estamos muy orgullosos de quienes conforman nuestra institución y de quienes nos rodean; son la encarnación de nuestras más altas aspiraciones, la razón por la que nos levantamos cada mañana y damos todo lo que tenemos. La Holy Family University es de la comunidad y para la comunidad, y este es el diferencial con el que contamos para transformar vidas a través de la educación superior. z La doctora Anne Prisco es la presidenta de la Holy Family University. Antes de unirse a esta institución, fue presidenta de la Felician University y vicepresidenta de la Loyola Marymount University. Fue miembro del profesorado de la St. John’s University y ocupó altos cargos de liderazgo en el Hunter College y el Lehman College, CUNY. La doctora Prisco es actualmente miembro de varias juntas locales y nacionales. • 39
