Mes de la Historia de la Mujer: Amanda Villarreal

By Chara

l trabajo actual de la empresaria Amanda Villarreal está a un mundo de distancia de su primer trabajo.

Nacida en Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, Villarreal llegó con su familia a Estados Unidos a los 5 años. Su familia era “muy pobre”, dijo.

“Vinimos a Estados Unidos y nos instalamos en California”, dijo. “Vivíamos en un tráiler y yo ayudaba a mis padres a recoger uvas”, dijo.

Eventualmente, la familia de Villarreal se mudó al área de Kansas City. Se graduó de Olathe North High School, convirtiéndose en la primera de su familia en graduarse de la escuela secundaria.

Villarreal luego asistió a Brown Mackie College, donde estudió para ser asistente legal. Al decidir

Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Villarreal came with her family to the United States at age 5. The family was “very poor,” she said.

“We came to the United States and got settled in California,” she said. “We lived in a trailer, and I was helping my parents to pick up grapes,” Villarreal said.

Eventually, Villarreal’s family settled in the Kansas City area. She graduated from Olathe North High School, becoming the first in her family to graduate from high school.

la Liga MX. Querétaro deberá jugar sin aficionados durante un año, reportaron varios medios de comunicación.

El club también debe pagar una multa de $70,000 y aceptar una derrota por 3-0 ante Atlas como resultado final. El juego es considerado perdido por Querétaro, CBS News y otros medios de comunicación reportaron el martes (8 de marzo).

El juego de de fútbol profesional masculino comenzó sin problemas con los fanáticos. Tampoco hubo problemas en el descanso, a pesar de que Atlas ganaba 1-0 con un gol anotado en el minuto 29.

Pero durante la segunda mitad, los fanáticos comenzaron a ponerse agresivos. Cerca del minuto 57, un hincha queretano corrió por la cancha para provocar a los hinchas contrarios. Una pequeña pelea estalló en las gradas poco después de eso. Las cámaras de televisión mostraron a los aficionados de Querétaro que estaban en el lado opuesto del estadio moviéndose hacia donde estaba la pelea.

Ambos bandos estaban separados por barreras. Sin embargo, esas barreras se rompieron y comenzó una pelea más grande.

Los fanáticos del Atlas que no formaban parte de las peleas comenzaron a invadir la cancha para escapar de la violencia, pero debido a que no había seguridad para controlar el acceso al campo, los fanáticos de Querétaro los siguieron y comenzaron a atacarlos. Los videos en las redes sociales mostraban a familias corriendo por seguridad, madres quitando las camisetas de Atlas a sus hijos para evitar ser atacados, y cuerpos inmóviles en las gradas y en el campo recibiendo patadas en la cabeza y el cuerpo.

Los fanáticos que estaban en el estadio dijeron a los medios que vieron a los policías ayudar a los alborotadores e incluso a participar en los combates.

Algunos medios de comunicación informaron que 15 fanáticos murieron. Las autoridades mexicanas, sin embargo, negaron esos informes y afirmaron que había 26 personas heridas, algunas en estado crítico.

A pesar de los videos y las fotografías que identifican a los involucrados en los enfrentamientos, no hubo arrestos el día de los disturbios. Las autoridades mexicanas y los funcionarios del fútbol prometieron una investigación a fondo.

El lunes (7 de marzo), 10 fanáticos fueron arrestados.

Además de las sanciones impuestas a Querétaro, se impusieron prohibiciones de asistencia de diversa duración a las hinchadas de ambos clubes, reportaron este martes medios de comunicación.

Para evitar que ocurran incidentes similares, será necesario identificar a los grupos de seguidores de todos los equipos antes de que se les permita el acceso a los estadios de fútbol mexicano. Aquellos que no puedan ser identificados no podrán acceder a las secciones de grupos de aficionados.

El incidente se produce cuando México está seleccionando lugares para albergar los juegos de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026 de hombres con Estados Unidos y Canadá. Según los reportes, muchas personas están pidiendo a la FIFA que impida que México sea el anfitrión.

Queretaro must play with no fans for one year, multiple media outlets reported. The club also must pay a $70,000 fine and accept a 3-0 loss to Atlas as the final score. The game is considered a forfeit by Queretaro, CBS News and other media outlets reported Tuesday (March 8).

The men’s professional soccer game started with no fan issues. Nor were there issues at halftime, even though Atlas was leading 1-0 on a goal scored in the 29th minute.

But during the second half, fans started getting aggressive. Around the 57th minute, a Queretaro fan ran across the field to provoke opposing fans. A small brawl erupted in the stands shortly after that. TV cameras showed Queretaro fans who were on the opposite side of the stadium moving to where the brawl was.

Both sides were separated by barriers. Those barriers were breached, however, and a bigger brawl started.

Atlas fans who were not part of the fights started to invade the pitch to escape the violence, but because there was no security to control access to the field, Queretaro fans followed them and started attacking them.

Videos on social media showed families running for safety, mothers removing Atlas shirts from their children to avoid being attacked, and motionless bodies in the stands and on the sidelines being kicked in the head and body.

Fans who were in the stadium were quoted as saying they saw police officers aiding rioters and even participating in the fighting.

Some media outlets reported that 15 fans died. Mexican authorities, however, denied those reports and claimed there were 26 people injured, with some in critical condition.

Despite video and still images pinpointing those involved in the fighting, there were no arrests made the day of the riot. Mexican authorities and soccer officials promised an in-depth investigation.

On Monday (March 7), 10 fans were arrested.

In addition to the sanctions imposed against Queretaro, attendance bans of varying lengths were imposed against supporters groups’ of both clubs, media outlets reported Tuesday.

To prevent similar incidents from happening, supporters’ groups from all teams will need to be identified before they can be granted access to Mexican soccer stadiums. Those who cannot be identified will not be able to access the supporters’ group sections.

The incident comes as Mexico is selecting venues to host men’s 2026 FIFA World Cup games with the United States and Canada.

Many people are reportedly calling on FIFA to stop Mexico from hosting.

“Vi una gran oportunidad y decidí hacer más”, dijo Villarreal.

Después de trabajar en el mundo corporativo, Villarreal fundó su empresa, PLEX Capital, en 2019.

La empresa brinda “el flujo de efectivo basado en las cuentas por cobrar de… un trabajo terminado”, dijo.

Villarreal, madre soltera de dos niños y dueña de un perro, se enorgullece de ser latina.

“Hay una sensación de ser original”, dijo. “Trabajo en un mundo en el que predominan los hombres blancos. Siento que en el momento en que interactúan conmigo se sienten como en casa. Creo que ser original y auténtica me lo trajo el ser latina. Hay (un) sentido de autenticidad y lo acepto al máximo”.

Esa autenticidad, junto con la “originalidad”, han ayudado al Villarreal a tener éxito, dijo.

“Traigo algo a la mesa que la gente no ha experimentado y que me fue dado por mi origen étnico”, dijo.

Villarreal también atribuye su éxito en parte a sus modelos a seguir, que incluyen a Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, Tony Robbins y Warren Buffett.

“No tuve ningún mentor, pero seleccioné a mis mentores a través de podcasts, libros y YouTube”, dijo.

También atribuye su éxito a su fe y a la Biblia.

“Cualquiera que decida tener éxito tiene que tener la Biblia”, dijo. “Te da orientación, visión, te hace más humano. Te da sabiduría y te muestra cómo encontrar la sabiduría”.

Villarreal espera inspirar a la gente con su historia de éxito.

“Es una esperanza para mí que alguien que lea esto se convierta en una mejor versión (de sí mismo)”, dijo.

Ella aconseja a las mujeres que no piensen menos de sí mismas.

“Creo que tiene que ver... (con) cómo te presentas”, dijo. “Si te presentas sabiendo que te mereces lo que traes a la mesa, serás tratado así”.

male white-dominant. I feel the moment they interact with me they feel at home.

I think that being original and authentic was brought to me for being Latina. There is (a) sense of authenticity and I embrace it to the fullest.”

That authenticity, along with “originality,” have helped Villarreal succeed, she said.

“I bring something to the table that people have not experienced that was given to me because of my ethnicity,” Villarreal said.

Villarreal also attributes her success in part to her role models, who include Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, Tony Robbins and Warren Buffett.

“I didn’t have any mentors, but I selected my mentors through podcasts, books and YouTube,” she said.

Villarreal also attributes her success to her faith and the Bible.

“Anyone who decides to have success has to have the Bible,” she said. “It gives you guidance, vision, makes you more human.

It gives you wisdom and shows you how to find the wisdom.”

Villarreal hopes to inspire people with her success story.

“It is a hope for me that someone who reads this becomes a better version (of themselves),” she said.

She advices women to do not think less of themselves.

“I think that it has to do … (with) how you show up,” she said. “If you show up knowing that you deserve what you bring to the table, you will be treated like that.”

Savoring the benefits of spring cleaning Saboreando los beneficios de la limpieza de primavera

l clima puede sugerir que todavía es invierno, pero el calendario advierte sobre el final del invierno y abundan las señales de la nueva temporada. Estamos a días del equinoccio de primavera; el canto de los pájaros temprano en la mañana está de vuelta; las hojas en ciernes anuncian el final de la latencia invernal; el olor dulce y

he weather may suggest it’s still winter, but the calendar warns of winter’s wane, and signs of the new season abound. We’re days away from the spring equinox; early morning birdsong is back; leaves budding herald the end of winter dormancy; the sweet, earthy smell of the outdoors signals nature’s reawakening; and, the days

terroso del aire libre señala el despertar de la naturaleza; y, los días son cada vez más largos.

Es hora de embarcarse en un ritual anual consagrado: la limpieza de primavera. La tradición se remonta a los tiempos bíblicos, según los investigadores, y tiene sus raíces en la biología, la cultura, la neuroquímica, la psicología, la religión y la espiritualidad.

La limpieza de primavera es un esfuerzo interior/exterior. Aquí hay listas de verificación compiladas por varios expertos en jardinería y mejoras para el hogar.

Adentro, limpie las ventanas y persianas; lavar o limpiar cortinas; pruebe las alarmas; desempolve los ventiladores de techo y las lámparas; desinfecte las perillas de las puertas, las manijas de los gabinetes y los interruptores de luz; limpie el horno; cambie filtros; organice cajones, armarios y espacios de almacenamiento y deseche o done artículos no deseados o inutilizables; rote colchones; desinfecte los juguetes de los niños; y gabinetes de cocina y baño vacíos y estantes de lavado.

Afuera, limpie las canaletas; revise el techo y las rejillas de ventilación; dé uso a la cortadora de césped; limpie y afile herramientas de jardín; retire las hojas muertas y el mantillo protector de alrededor de la flora ornamental; recoja ramitas y ramas; arbustos caducifolios y enredaderas perennes que florecen en verano; bulbos de plantas para flores de verano; siembre semillas de tomates, glorias de la mañana y otras plantas amantes del calor en el interior; friegue las macetas de jardín con un cepillo duro y bicarbonato de sodio y agua; lave a presión los porches, patios, terrazas y muebles de exterior; limpie con manguera los botes de basura y los contenedores de reciclaje; lave los vidrios de las ventanas; vacie y limpie con manguera el garaje; y limpie la parrilla de gas o carbón.

La Semana Nacional de Limpieza de Primavera comienza el cuarto domingo de marzo. La celebración anual almacena el invierno y da la bienvenida a la primavera; “celebra la importancia, el valor y el impacto positivo que tiene la limpieza en la salud pública, el medio ambiente y la economía”; y crea conciencia sobre el valor de los espacios limpios, según NationalDay.com. “Es una semana... para marcar el comienzo de un nuevo comienzo con la primavera”.

are getting longer.

It’s time to embark on a time-honored annual ritual: spring cleaning. The tradition dates back to biblical times, according to researchers, and is rooted in biology, culture, neurochemistry, psychology, religion and spirituality.

Spring cleaning is an indoor/outdoor endeavor. Here are checklists compiled by various home improvement and gardening experts. Inside, clean windows and window shades or blinds; wash or dry-clean curtains and drapes; test alarms; dust ceiling fans and light fixtures; disinfect doorknobs, cabinet handles and light switches; clean the oven; change filters; organize drawers, closets and storage spaces and discard or donate unwanted or unusable items; rotate mattresses; disinfect kids’ toys; and empty kitchen and bathroom cabinets and wash down shelves.

Outdoors, clean out gutters; check the roof and vents; service the lawnmower; clean and sharpen garden tools; remove dead leaves and protective mulch from around ornamental florae; pick up twigs and branches; spring prune summer-flowering deciduous shrubs and perennial vines; plant bulbs for summer-blooming blossoms; start seeds of tomatoes, morning glories and other heat-loving plants indoors; scrub garden pots with stiff brush and baking soda and water; pressure wash porch, patio, deck and outdoor furniture; hose out garbage cans and recycling bins; wash window screens; empty and hose out garage; and clean gas or charcoal grill.

National Spring Cleaning Week begins the fourth Sunday in March. The annual observance warehouses winter and welcomes spring; “celebrates the importance, value and positive impact that cleaning has on public health, the environment and the economy;” and raises awareness of the value of clean spaces, according to NationalDay.com.

“It’s a week … to usher in a fresh start with spring.”

t is tax time and I many families are waiting anxiously

on their tax refund.

What will you spend yours on this year?

Consider starting your immigration case to secure the future for your family. It is a great time to move forward with your immigration case!

Under President Biden, it has been easier to win your case! Get started now before it is too late. The Public Charge rule is now back to normal. The USCIS offices are open for interviews. Our team of more than 25 professionals can get your case sent to the government right away!

We see families who have waited to start their case because they have not been able to gather the thousands of dollars they thought they needed to get started. At our firm, most cases require a deposit of $2000 or less. The rest can be paid in monthly payments. Starting the case allows the immigrant to have proof that they are in the process of obtaining their permanent residency.

It is also a good time to take action to open future options. Many DACA recipients have US citizen or Legal Permanent Resident spouses who could apply for their permanent residency.

It is critical to have a legal entry for that to happen. If you request a travel permit now, you will open the door for an easier process. It is not necessary to travel to your country, you can go anywhere in the world. The legal entry is the key to be able to move to permanent residency.

Finally, it is a great time to apply for US citizenship. In these uncertain times, becoming a US citizen provides security for you and your family. Many of our clients qualify to not pay the government fees.

The IRS announced that the nation’s tax season started on January 24, 2022. The tax agency is accepting and processing 2021 tax year returns until April 18, 2022. This is a time which you can take advantage of to be up-todate with your taxes.

Isabel Gutierrez Continued from Page 1A

estudiantes y los padres tengan los útiles necesarios para ayudar a sus hijos a graduarse; y su trabajo con KidsTLC, donde dirige una clase para padres de habla hispana.

El trabajo de Gutiérrez con las familias para garantizar que tengan igualdad de oportunidades para tener éxito académico y de otra manera se deriva en parte de sus propias experiencias en educación.

“Cuando vivía en México… quería ser maestra”, dijo Gutiérrez. “Ese fue mi objetivo desde que era una niña y luego, cuando nos mudamos aquí, ese sueño parecía imposible. En mi mente, no parecía viable.

Pero pude ir a la universidad y graduarme con el apoyo de tanta gente: familia, amigos, maestros y todos. Ese fue el momento en que me encontré con el sueño que había desechado cuando era niña”.

Esa pasión también se deriva de las luchas que la familia de Gutiérrez experimentó al crecer.

“Toda mi familia es muy humanitaria y muy servicial con los demás”, dijo. “Y creo que tiene mucho que ver con la valentía de nuestros padres cuando decidieron traernos aquí y algo que nunca hubiéramos pensado o aprendido si nos hubiésemos quedado en nuestro país de origen”.

Gutiérrez también se ofrece regularmente como voluntaria con varios grupos cada vez que ve que existe una necesidad. Y ella se educa a sí misma para ayudar a satisfacer esas necesidades. Un ejemplo de esto es cuando se certificó para enseñar una clase que otorgaría licencias para niñeras de habla hispana.

“No había forma de que pudieran obtener una licencia, incluso si quisieran”, dijo Gutiérrez, quien es bilingüe. “Después de tocar puertas y conseguir licencias para todo, accedieron a dejarnos dar la clase en español. Quiero que escuchen la clase en su lengua materna. Entonces pasé por mucho entrenamiento porque nadie estaba dispuesto a enseñarlo. Y dije: ‘Entonces enséñame y yo lo haré’”.

El deseo de Gutiérrez de obtener la certificación para enseñar la clase se basa en la idea de que “no hablar el idioma (inglés) no debería ser un castigo” y que los hispanos deberían “estar equipados para proteger y mantener a nuestras familias.

Gutiérrez se ha ofrecido como voluntaria de otras maneras, como cuando se ofreció a enseñar una clase con el Departamento de Bomberos de Olathe a través de su Equipo de Respuesta a Emergencias Comunitarias.

En celebración de marzo como el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, Gutiérrez quiere que las latinas aprendan que pedir ayuda es una fortaleza, no una debilidad. La mujer dijo que una vez que logramos ayudarnos a nosotros mismos, podemos ayudar a otros.

“When I lived in Mexico, … I wanted to become a teacher,” Gutierrez said. “That was my goal since I was a little girl; and then when we moved here, that dream was, like, out. In my mind, it didn’t seem possible. But I was able to go to college and graduate with the support of so many people – family, friends, teachers and everybody.

That was the moment that I was meeting the dream I had lost as a little girl.”

That passion also stems from the struggles Gutierrez’s family experienced growing up.

“All my family are very humanitarian and very helpful to others,” she said. “And I think it has a lot to do with the bravery of our parents had (when they) decided to bring us here and kind of something that we would have never thought (of) or learned if we would … (have stayed) in our home country.”

Gutierrez also regularly volunteers with several groups whenever she sees a need not being met. And she educates herself to help meet those needs. For example, she got certified to teach a class that would get Spanish-speaking baby-sitters licensed.

“There was no way that they could become licensed, even if they wanted to,” said Gutierrez, who is bilingual. “After knocking on doors and licensing everything, they agreed to let us teach the class in Spanish. I want it for them to hear the class in their native language. So I went through a lot of training because no one was willing to teach it. And I said, ‘Then teach me and I (will) do it.’”

Gutierrez’s desire to be certified to teach the class is shaped around the idea that “not speaking the (English) language should not be a punishment” and that Hispanics should “be equipped to protect and provide for our families,” she said.

Gutierrez has volunteered in other ways, such as offering to teach a class with the Olathe Fire Department through its Community Emergency Response Team.

In observance of March as Women’s History Month, Gutierrez advises Latinas that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Once we can help ourselves, we can help others endure, she said.

Cómo evitar que te den gato por liebre al comprar un carro usado Los carros usados subieron mucho de precio durante la pandemia.

Vale la pena que te prepares y te informes antes de comprar uno, así te sentirás listo para la compra. De hecho, comience investigando el precio de los carros que te interesan.

Luego, busca información sobre la financiación antes de comprar el carro. Consulta con bancos, cooperativas de crédito y compañías financieras: no tienes que financiar un carro por medio del concesionario.

Cuando encuentres el carro que quieres: ■ Llama al concesionario que lo vende.

Asegúrate de que el carro está realmente en el concesionario y pide que te den el precio total por escrito, antes de siquiera ir a verlo.

■ Obtén un informe del historial del vehículo y consulta la Guía del Comprador. El informe te dirá el historial del carro, y la Guía te dirá si tiene garantía o se vende “como está” (“as is”).

■ Si quieres hablar de financiación con el concesionario, primero define el precio total. Es decir, el precio total debe incluir los impuestos y cualquier otro costo, y antes de la financiación.

Entre más pronto reconozca las señales, antes podrá ayudar a su hijo.

DeteccionDeAutismo.org kansascitypbs.org/womontown

■ Está bien decir que no a las opciones “extra”, o al menos preguntar su precio.

Las opciones “extra” son cosas adicionales que los concesionarios ofrecen al vender el carro, como por ejemplo extender la garantía y contratos de servicio. Asegúrate de saber en qué consisten, cuánto cuestan y cómo podrían afectar tu pago mensual.

■ Revisa las condiciones antes de firmar un contrato de compra y la financiación.

Asegúrate de que todo lo que has acordado está por escrito. Las promesas verbales son difíciles de hacer cumplir.

Obtén más información en ftc.gov/carrosusados. Si detectas una estafa o una práctica comercial engañosa, denúnciala a la Comisión Federal de Comercio en ReporteFraude.ftc.gov.

Unified Government Public Health Department (UGPHD) Shares New Tool for Checking the COVID-19 Community Levels County-by-County UGPHD comparte una nueva herramienta para verificar los niveles comunitarios del COVID-19 condado por condado

A

hora puede verificar el nivel de COVID en la comunidad en el condado de Wyandotte con sólo presionar unas pocas teclas y obtener guías en “tiempo real” sobre los pasos a seguir para ayudar a protegerse a sí mismo, a sus amigos y familiares y a su comunidad de la propagación del virus.

Una nueva herramienta lanzada en febrero por los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés) permite al público buscar los niveles de COVID en la comunidad condado por condado. El UGPHD ahora ha adoptado la guía y las recomendaciones a nivel de condado de los CDC sobre las precauciones de COVID para el condado de Wyandotte.

Simplemente ingrese su estado y condado, y la base de datos mostrará el nivel de la comunidad de COVID-19 en su condado y una lista de recomendaciones de acuerdo con el nivel de amenaza de la comunidad.

Los niveles de la comunidad se determinan al observar la cantidad de camas de hospital que se utilizan, las admisiones al hospital y la cantidad total de casos nuevos de COVID-19 en un área determinada.

Puede acceder a la función de búsqueda condado por condado visitando https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-bycounty.html.

Por ejemplo, actualmente en el condado de Wyandotte, el nivel comunitario de COVID-19 es “Alto”. Para los condados con altos niveles de COVID en la comunidad, los CDC recomiendan las siguientes acciones: *Use una mascarilla en lugares públicos *Manténgase al día con las vacunas contra el COVID-19 *Hágase la prueba si tiene síntomas *Es posible que se necesiten precauciones adicionales para personas con niveles altos de riesgo de enfermedad grave.

Para los condados con niveles comunitarios de COVID medios o bajos, la guía pública se ve así:

N

ow you can check the COVID community level in Wyandotte County with just a few keystrokes and get “real time” guidance on what steps to take to help protect yourself, your friends and family, and your community from the spread of the virus.

A new tool launched in February by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lets the public search for community COVID levels on a county-by-county basis.

The UGPHD has now adopted the CDC’s county level guidance and recommendations on COVID precautions for Wyandotte County.

Just enter your state and county, and the database will show the COVID-19 community level in your county and list guidance according to the community threat level. The community levels are determined by looking at the number of hospital beds being used, hospital admissions and the total number of new COVID19 cases in any given area.

You can access the county-bycounty search function by visiting https:// www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-bycounty.html.

For example, currently in Wyandotte County, the community level of COVID-19 is “High.” For counties with high community levels of COVID, the CDC recommends the following actions: Wear a mask indoors in public Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines Get tested if you have symptoms Additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness For counties with medium or low COVID Community levels, the public guidance looks like this:

SI QUIERE BEBER ES ASUNTO SUYO SI QUIERE DEJAR DE BEBER NOSOTROS LE PODEMOS AYUDAR

Medio Medium * Si tiene un alto riesgo de enfermarse If you are at high risk for severe illness, talk gravemente, hable con su proveedor de atención to your healthcare provider about whether you médica sobre si necesita usar una máscara y tomar need to wear a mask and take other precautions otras precauciones.

Las vacunas de refuerzo COVID-19 ahora están disponibles para personas mayores de 12 años.

l 4 de marzo, el Centro Mattie Rhodes celebró Marzo como el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer al abrir una exhibición de arte enfocada en las latinas.

Titulado “MUJER” y presentado como una “inauguración preliminar” para el Cultural Arts Building de Mattie Rhodes, la exhibición presenta obras de arte de artistas latinas del área de Kansas City. Estará disponible hasta fin de mes.

“Esta exhibición se enfoca en conmemorar y honrar a todas las mujeres”, afirma Mattie Rhodes en Facebook. “Todas las mujeres.”

El evento sigue a la finalización del trabajo en el Cultural Arts Building, ubicado en la calle 1701 Jarboe en Kansas City, Missouri. La construcción se completó a fines de 2021 como parte de un plan de remodelación elaborado en 2010.

En 2016, Mattie Rhodes lanzó una campaña de capital que recaudó más de $3.1 millones para la construcción. Según John Fierro, presidente/CEO, se gastaron más de $500,000 en la remediación ambiental de las tres parcelas de tierra en la calle 17 y Jarboe.

Durante una entrevista anterior con Dos Mundos, Fierro explicó que el centro cultural estará disponible para varios usos comunitarios, incluyendo clases de español, debates sobre libros, foros comunitarios y oportunidades de desarrollo profesional para los educadores del área. Fierro agregó que la instalación ayudará a continuar con los programas de larga duración de la agencia y ofrecerá actualizaciones tecnológicas de última generación.

La gran inauguración del Mattie Rhodes Cultural Arts Building está programada oficialmente para el 1 de abril. Para obtener más información sobre able planet and a world in which there is el nuevo edificio y la exhibición “MUJER”, visite haya igualdad de género”. www.mattierhodes.org.

En todo el mundo, dice la Organización de gender equality will become a reality.”

las Naciones Unidas para el empoderamiento de las mujeres (ONU-Mujeres), las mujeres asumen a menudo “una responsabilidad desproporcionada como encargadas de asegurar el suministro de comida, agua y combustible”.

El 8 de marzo, Día Internacional de la Mujer, hablamos en Voces Consulares Radio con dos mujeres en posiciones de liderazgo en nuestra comunidad. Ellas aportaron valiosos testimonios, así como información muy útil para mexicanas.

En esta primera de dos partes, quiero presentarles el caso de Geovannie Gone, directora Administrativa de Genesis Family Health, un sistema de salud comunitaria en Liberal, Kansas.

Geovannie emigró de México a Estados Unidos con su familia a los 15 años de edad. Ahora, cuenta con más de 12 años de experiencia en trabajo comunitario en áreas rurales de Kansas, una maestría en Salud Pública y es terapista en prevención de alcoholismo y adicciones.

Sobre el lema de la conmemoración del Día Internacional de la Mujer este 2022, “Igualdad de género hoy, para un mañana sostenible”, Geovannie reflexionó: “Si queremos sostener ese mañana, si queremos continuar progresando y educando a nuestras hijas a amarse, a continuar su escuela, a tener mejores familias con mejores valores y fundamentos, tenemos que comenzar por nosotras. A veces queremos educar, queremos enseñar, pero el ejemplo y el cuidarnos, el tener ese amor propio comienza por uno. Es muy importante que hoy hablemos sobre las mujeres pero esas mujeres significa también nosotros.”

La Mtra. Gone habló también de los obstáculos en su trayectoria académica y profesional, y de la importancia del autocuidado, para evitar caer “en este círculo donde estamos constantemente sirviendo a las demás personas, preocupándonos de nuestros hijos, de sus actividades y a veces nos olvidamos de nosotras mismas”.

Siendo estudiante universitaria debió realizar esfuerzos adicionales para mejorar su nivel de inglés. “Claro que sí puedo”, se dijo entonces.

“Tenemos que recordar de qué somos capaces y qué podemos llegar a hacer. Ese amor propio quiebra cualquier tipo de barrera y cualquier tipo de obstáculo que a veces se pueda atrevesar en nuestras vidas”.

La entrevista con Geovannie Gone la puede escuchar en el podcast Voces Consulares en Spotify o en Facebook.com/ConsulMexKan.

Around the world, according to the United Nations Organization for the empowerment of women (UN-Women), women often bear “a disproportionate responsibility as those responsible for ensuring the supply of food, water and fuel”.

On March 8, International Women’s Day, we spoke on Voces Consulares Radio with two women in leadership positions in our community. They provided valuable testimonies, as well as very useful information for Mexican women.

In this first of two parts, I want to present to you the case of Geovannie Gone, Chief Administrative Officer with Genesis Family Health, a community health system in Liberal, Kansas.

Geovannie emigrated from Mexico to the United States with her family at the age of 15. Now, she has more than 12 years of community service experience in rural areas of Kansas, a Master’s degree in Public Health, and is an addiction and alcohol prevention therapist.

On the motto of the commemoration of International Women’s Day this 2022, “Gender equality today, for a sustainable tomorrow”, Geovannie reflected: “If we want to sustain that tomorrow, if we want to continue progressing and educating our daughters to love each other, to continue their school, to have better families with better values and foundations, we have to start with us.

Sometimes we want to educate, we want to teach, but setting an example and taking care of ourselves, having that self-esteem begins with oneself. It is very important that today we talk about women, but those women also mean us.”

Geovannie Gone also spoke about the obstacles in her academic and professional career, and the importance of self-care, to avoid falling “in this cycle where we are constantly serving other people, worrying about our children, about their activities, and sometimes we forget about ourselves”.

As a university student, she had to make additional efforts to improve her level of English. “Of course I can”, she told herself then.

“We have to remember what we are capable of and what we can do. That love for oneself breaks any type of barrier and any type of obstacle that can sometimes get in our way in our lives.”

The interview with Geovannie Gone can be heard on the Voces Consulares podcast on Spotify or on Facebook.com/ ConsulMexKan.

n March 4, the Mattie Rhodes Center O helped honor March as Women’s History Month by opening a Latina-focused art exhibit.

Titled “MUJER” and staged as a “soft opening” for the Mattie Rhodes Cultural Arts Building, the exhibit features artwork from Kansas City area Latina artists. It is scheduled to run through month’s end.

“This exhibit focuses on commemorating and honoring all mujeres,” Mattie Rhodes states on Facebook. “All women.”

The event follows the completion of work on the Mattie Rhodes Cultural Arts Building, located at 1701 Jarboe St. in Kansas City, Missouri.

Construction was completed at the end of 2021 as part of a redevelopment plan crafted in 2010.

In 2016, Mattie Rhodes launched a capital campaign that raised more than $3.1 million toward the facility. According to John Fierro, president/CEO, more than $500,000 was spent on the environmental remediation of the three parcels of land at 17th and Jarboe.

During a previous interview with Dos Mundos, Fierro explained that the cultural center will be available for various community uses, including Spanish classes, book discussions, community forums and professional development opportunities for area educators. Fierro added that the facility will help continue the agency’s long-running programs and offer state-of-the-art technology updates.

Officially, the grand opening for the Mattie Rhodes Cultural Arts Building is set for April 1. For more information about the new building and “MUJER,” visit www.mattierhodes.org.
