Cultura y noticias hispanas del Valle del Hudson
In the June issue of La Voz magazine, we bring you a variety of news articles, interviews, and commentaries to read and share.
There’s good news for people who want to pursue a college degree but don’t have advanced English skills or prefer to study in Spanish: SUNY Empire has just launched the first Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program in Spanish and online. Andrés Pérez Rangel, a Bard College student and editorial assistant, writes about it in the Resources section.
Nohan Meza, general coordinator of La Voz and also a writer, contributes this month to the Environment section with a piece on the true cost of food. And no, it’s not about how expensive eggs are. How much should we actually pay for meat or milk, for example, if we considered the environmental and climate impact of producing them? I hope learning about this helps us become more responsible consumers.
Thanks to Knowable magazine and Debbie Ponchner for sharing with La Voz an article we publish this month in the Healthy Living section on the link between cancer and stress—and whether beta blockers can help. Also in Healthy Living, Ivette O’Sullivan, a certified menopause specialist, shares insights on foods that regulate estrogen levels. Did you know that eating pomegranate seeds supports vaginal health?
“We are all sexual beings from the moment we’re born until we die,” says Giokazta Molina-Schneider, Vice President of Education and Training at Planned Parenthood of Greater New York. And although that may seem obvious, many Hispanic parents often don’t know how to talk about sexuality with their children—some don’t talk about it at all. I had the pleasure of interviewing Molina-Schneider on my show La Voz con Mariel Fiori on Radio Kingston, and this month in the Parenting section, I share her tips for talking about sexuality with our kids.
Holistic psychologist Dora Inés Grosso García writes this month in her column The Power of Love about the importance of the father-child bond. And while we’re on the topic—we wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the La Voz dads out there!
Camilo Rojas, artist and professor, has taken on the task of introducing us each month to a Hispanic artist living in the Hudson Valley. One of the works by this month’s featured artist, Cuban-born Lydia Rubio, illustrates the June cover of La Voz. She has a vast career and works across multiple disciplines. Learn more about her in the Our Artists section.
In our Opinion section—open to community comments, ideas, and observations—Martin Colavito, currently head of the Prevention Program at Cornell Cooperative Extension, reflects on the thousands of innocent lives lost to global conflicts. Colavito asks us to hold them in our hearts for a while.
Maria Herrera, a Bard College student, visited Reinas Florecientes—a group of immigrant women who created a cleaning cooperative in Ulster County, apparently the first of its kind in the area. Learn about them and this inspiring initiative in the American Dream section.
In the Memories of… section, Bard College student Marcos Castilla shares his impressions of Galicia and the invisible borders he encountered while traveling through different regions of Spain.
And as if that weren’t enough, we’re thrilled to announce that thanks to a collaboration between iD Studio Theater and La Voz, we’ll be offering free theater classes to community members who want to learn and can commit to attending ten weeks of classes with master teacher Germán Jaramillo. Afterward, participants will perform in a play in the Hudson Valley to benefit La Voz. Who’s in? Find more information about this opportunity—and many others—in our Resource Guide section.
We think you’ll find something to read and share this month in La Voz. Are there other topics you’d like us to cover? What do you want to learn more about? Do you have comments, reflections, or stories you’d like us to publish? Email us at [email protected]. Make your voice heard!
