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 […]
I was born to travel and experience new sights. I was not made, however, for airplane travel, but that is what it is. Another year has gone by and my airline miles continue to build up. However, I do not quite understand why my American Airlines miles get […]
