Craving Latino rock music this morning, I came across AltLatino via NPR. The website is an incredible resource for Latino music – but it’s also much more. I spent a couple hours this morning listening to a few podcasts and listening to a different wave of Latino music. I was fascinated by the cross-cultural aspects of…
Over the last few days, I’ve spent some time reading through tweets coming out of the Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference (#ANAmarketers). There were a lot of great comments on Latinos and other cultural groups regarding marketing, hiring, retention, leadership, and other topics.

Sorry for the lack of posts these last few days. Actually will be even busier the next 10 days or so working on different projects and taking a much anticipated R/R with the family.

I grew up in the 1980’s listening to a lot of New Wave music – I was even a part-time DJ, great job! A favorite group of mine at the time was Missing Persons – a classic New Wave group. One of the band’s songs streamed on my laptop today as I was working, ”Words” –…
