I highly suggest that you read the about page and highlights
I am a Hispanic Gen-Xer. I was born and bred in Chicago to a mother of Mexican descent and an American father. Unfortunately, I grew up not speaking Spanish as it wasn’t as politically correct back then. Today, I can hold a converstation, but in my own estimation my Spanish sucks. Solo falta practica, supongo. Dos meses en Mexico estaria perfecto.
I was very lucky to attend good schools and have good parents, family and friends. Yes things good and bad have occurred in my life and I am sure more will come. Either way I am still here, laughing but now back in Missouri. (I was in LA for 4 months at the end of 2007) – Who knows where I might go next.
Professionally, I have designed and developed websites since 1998. I have been/am an artist. I practically grew up in a TV station. I have worked in a radio station, a newspaper and Higher Education with various duties. I have waited tables and served food. I am an Aquarius, single and left-handed and still have plenty of hair on my head.
Niche New Media is my company.
I started it just for HispanicTips but I there is so much more there since I have a knack for creating websites/systems to solve my problems and help people/communities and entrepreneurialism runs in my family, especially the Mexican side.
I wrote this for the New Year 2007.
We, like you, are a diverse group of human beings.
We, like you, are essential to this country and planet.
We aren’t just here or there, we are everywhere.
There are 44 million of us living in the US.
That is 14% of this country’s population and by 2050, that number will jump to almost 25%.
We already are 20% of Americans aged 34 and younger.
60% of us aren’t immigrants at all. We were born here.
We are the fastest-growing segment of the electorate nationwide.
Our combined purchasing power will soon top $1 trillion.
Some of us only speak English, some only Spanish, but many use both to varying degrees.
Immigration is a complex issue that needs to be intelligently addressed on a national level.
We, like you, are a diverse group of human beings.
We, like you, are essential to this country and planet.
