Unbelievably fast. That is how I would describe the start to this new year of 2014. We are at the mid-point of January already. Here in the United States we have a long weekend, with the observance of Martin Luther King (MLK), Jr Day. Many years ago, not […]
Assuredly, you have had one of those weeks where it started off stressfully and ended with you in an emotional vat of ennui. I knew this week was going to be tough. I had been eagerly anticipating this week for it was make or break time. I was […]

In my field of work, where we talk about cultural competency ad nauseam you would be amazed at the stereotypes that arise. I recall observing a training whereby the trainers noted that if you wanted to reach Hispanic women/ Latinas you should do the meetings in the kitchen […]
