Mothers do not need to be the villana of the story any longer and daughters do not need to hide in the same pain and shame like their mothers before them.

There are many reasons why women fail to end the cycle of silence, but each generation is trying to remedy their mother’s mistakes.

My theory is that if we dissect our mother’s “porque yo lo digo,” we find the fear that is disguised as overbearing. There is so much that we think our mothers might not understand, but I believe that mothers know more than they are willing to share. No mother is la villana without reason.

Latinx influence is growing on platforms and these influencers are reminding us to love ourselves, live our best lives, and celebrate our culture. Now that 2021 is here, these are a few things we can learn from them.

Election Day is on Tuesday. Are you ready? We wanted to leave you with some tips to prepare for next week.

Elections are just around the corner and the question about Latinx electoral participation that is usually repeated every four years arises again: Will we be the decisive vote in the states where it really matters or will we be irrelevant?

With 32 million Latinx eligible to vote in the elections, Spanish speakers will be the most important racial or ethnic group during an electoral process in the United States.

The conversation on duality is at the forefront of American politics. We see it in how political candidates attempt to reach out to minority voters.

If we don’t feel like we’re part of this country, we’re less likely to actively participate in our communities.
