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 […]
When I first met Milo, he was this scruffy pekinese from the streets. Or so we thought. We adopted him from a local ASPCA after numerous trips looking for our perfect dog. And boy was he perfect. He had an attitude, he had charisma, he had a unique […]
High-five! 2014 came with grand celebration. One day in and there’s already much to see, plan and do. Today the new Mayor of New York City took office pledging universal pre-kindergarten and increased taxation on the rich (defined as making $500,000 or more a year) that basically amounts […]
