“I ran for council when I was 23. You can impact it so that everyone is able to have opportunities to live a good life,” said Maria del Rosario "Rosie" Castro,73, who was named District 7 councilwoman. This came 52 years after she initially ran — it’s history correcting a wrong. This was during a time when the city used at-large voting methods, which resulted in Anglos often getting elected. But even after Castro lost, she still fought to give minorities a chance to win elections - including her sonsCongressman Joaquin Castro, and Julián Castro, Former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Cover By Christy Martinez-Garcia

"Where there is desire is ability." Meaning: If you really want to do something, you can find a way to do it.

¡Feliz cumpleaños! Happy Birthday!

This month's May cover demonstrates simplicity, which when you ask a mom what she wants on her special day, she'll probably respond with, "Your love is all I need." My daughter used to pick me a flower and help make me breakfast. And it truly is the simple gifts from the heart that make a difference to any mom. Mother's Day, as you know is a celebration honoring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society - and yes, you don't have to give birth to someone for to be motherly. Mother's Day is celebrated on different days in many parts of the world, in Mexico it will be held May 10, 2023. In the United States, May 14, 2023. As far as I'm concerned ~ Mother's Day should be everyday. LOL! Have a wonderful day!
