Cleveland: The YoungLatino Network in partner-ship with New York Life In-surance Company held aHispanic Market CareerNetworking event on April26, 2012 at 87 West WineBar in Crocker Park.

The social was an op-portunity to connect em-ployers interested in re-cruiting bilingual talent withlikely candidates like YLN’smembers. President JoséC. Feliciano Jr. said thegroup is continuing tostrengthen partnershipswith employers to helpempower their member-ship in finding jobs andleadership opportunitiesthat will help retain the

young talent in Cleveland.Nelida López, Partner,

Recruiter & Financial Ser-vices Professional at NewYork Life Insurance Com-pany, is the only Latinaserving in this capacity andsaid the Latino communityneeds to be better repre-sented. “We need to serveour community,” she said.

López said the level ofsuccess is dependent oncommitment and there areno glass ceilings or barri-ers to agents making lucra-tive salaries. As a recruiter,she looks for self starters,who manage their time ef-ficiently, have good com-munication skills, and canwork independently as well

as in groups. She added,adding diversity and bilin-gual agents enhances theexperience of clients aswell. College education isnot mandatory but Lópezsaid a track record of hardwork is a plus.

Rafaél López Jr. hasbeen an agent for a year, “Icannot see myself doinganything else in life,” hesaid. López Jr. added, thechallenge of the job is be-ing comfortable in awk-ward situations, “You haveto have a personality.” Forhim, being his own bosswas part of the learningcurve and he stressed theresults reflect the hard workagents invest. “Keep an

Luis Cartagena, YLNtreasurer, said with elec-tions around the corner thegroup will play a crucial rolein helping canvas neigh-borhoods, registering po-

tential voters, and helpingwith voter educationprojects that many other or-ganizations are launching.“While we are the fastestgrowing minority we arethe least represented inlocal governments,” hesaid.

Most recently, YLN par-ticipated in the “Tú De-cides” a faith based rallyheld at the Saigon Plazaon April 1, 2012 that en-couraged Latinos to vote.First of its magnitude the

rally brought together faith-based groups, NationalLatino Evangelical Coali-tion, government repre-sentatives and more than500 people in attendancewere encouraged to workbeyond the rhetoric andvote by guest speaker Rev.Gabriel Salguero, pastor ofthe Lambs Club Church inNew York City and presi-dent of the National LatinoEvangelical Coalition.

Cleveland: Women ofColor Foundation and Ameri-can Greetings Corporationhave launched a quarterlyWomen’s Speak series to fa-cilitate networking, empow-erment through mentoring,and sharing resources to de-velop leadership in manyareas of their lives.

The second dialogue ofthe series was held on May17, 2012, at AmericanGreetings Headquartersand featured distinguishedpanelists who embody lead-ership. The panelists in-cluded: Susan Jensen, Ex-ecutive Director, WalmartTeam, American Greetings;Anne E. Bomar, Senior VicePresident & General Man-ger at Dominion East Ohio;Diana Bilimoria, Ph.D., Pro-fessor of Organizational Be-havior at WeatherheadSchool of ManagementCase Western Reserve Uni-versity; and BarbaraDanforth, Senior Vice Presi-dent, Business Develop-ment at Ratliff & Taylor.

Alexandria JohnsonBoone founded the Womenof Color Foundation inCleveland in 2002 after at-tending a rejuvenation re-treat and realized there wasa need for developing lead-ership opportunities forwomen. The foundation of-fers a platform for womento share their triumphs andfailures, to learn from eachother, something Boonesaid women shy away from

because—“It feels likebragging.”

The organization hashelped more than 2000women and Boone saidthere is only one thing sheasks in return, “Pay it for-ward!”

She said women oftendon’t realize so many oth-ers are experiencing thesame challenges and theexchange of informationand ideas leads to the em-powerment Boone envi-sioned ten years ago. Shesaid the decade providedmany opportunities andchallenges too, but connectthe right people and thosecontacts turn into relation-ships that translate into pow-erful networks.

The partnership withAmerican Greetings beganseveral months ago with aconversation with RenitaJefferson, Director of Diver-sity & Inclusion, and the“Speaking of Women” serieswas developed. The firstseminar was exclusively forwomen at American Greet-ings and Jefferson said thefeedback was tremendous.“People stopped me in thehallway to thank me and tellme how much they learnedand appreciated it,” she said,and added the partnership isa “win, win” for all involved,especially the women seek-ing mentors or developingtheir careers. The seriesbrings together top executivewomen and allow time for

small group interactions formore in-depth discussions.

Panelists shared theevolution of their careers,struggles, and lessons theylearned along the way.

“Dive into an issue andbecome an expert on it,”said Bomar. Concernedabout the lack of womenleaders at Dominion whenshe began her career shechose to step up and fill therole herself. She said whilethere are many paths toleadership her formula issimple, “Hard work, pas-sion, and have your ownexpertise to offer.”

Bilimoria’s path broughther from India at the age of23 and as she navigatedcultural challenges her les-son was rather straight for-ward, “The only limit wehave on ourselves is ourimagination.” Working in themale dominated academicfield, “where you don’t justhave egos, but massiveegos” Bilimoria advices agentle approach in bringingabout change; “You have totemper advocacy with in-quiry,” she said. Blame stunsgrowth, while encourage-ment and support en-hances services she said.

Jensen never thoughtshe would end up in Cleve-land. The Seattle native be-gan working for AmericanGreetings at age 16 as aregister girl and supportedherself through collegewith the same job. One thing

she has learned about thegreeting card industry, “Weattract nice people,” shesaid.

Jensen said balancinghome and work life requiresdiscipline and she main-tains a routine along withher hectic travel schedule tomaintain her sanity.

Danforth declared work-life balance is a myth; “Sur-round yourself with caringfriends who can help you,”she said. As a singlemother, Danforth said noteveryone’s needs were metdaily but by the end of theweek everything balancesout. The most important rev-elation for her, “I learned toforgive myself,” she saidand acknowledged mea-suring herself with hermother, a teacher whoworked full time but washome to have dinner on thetable. “That didn’t quite workfor me and that was ok… atthe end of the day I let go ofthe guilt,” she said.

Danforth said womentend to let life happen tothem, while men plan ca-reers; “I am a perfect posterchild for this.” She beganher career as a socialworker, went on to earn a

law degree, worked forMayor Michael Reed Whiteand is credited for revivingthe Cleveland YWCA, en-couraged all along byfriends. At Ratliff & Taylor, Iam the happiest I have everbeen, “Because I took timeout to evaluate what Iwanted to do and took intoconsideration everything Ihave done in the past.”

Bilimoria agreed,“Whenever I am my trueself, I al-ways suc-ceed.”

B u tleadershipis not al-ways aboutcoming outa h e a d ;sometimesit requiress t e p p i n gback anda l l o w i n gothers tostep up.J e n s e nsaid in teamb u i l d i n gshe findstalented in-d i v i dua l swho ares m a r t e r

than her; “Talk through prob-lems, listen to all sugges-tions but be ready to makedecisions and move for-ward,” she said.

Bomar added, collabo-rative leadership shouldn’tbe confused with lack ofconfidence and pretendingto be someone else willguarantee failure. “In a timeof crisis pretense will failyou, trust your own instincts.”

There is no member-ship for Women of ColorFoundation; all interestedare welcome to participateand scholarships areavailable, “We do not wantcost to be a deterrent foranyone,” she said.

The Cinco de Mayo an-niversary was closed thisyear with the brightest, big-gest moon of the year, asupermoon, and earth-grazing meteors. And theday was just as beautiful.

A bright, warm sunshone over a few hundredpeople May 5, 2012 as theylined up to watch the 15th

annual Cinco de Mayo pa-rade in South Lorain hostedby Lorain’s Mexican MutualSociety.

The Mexican MutualSociety celebrated the150th anniversary of theCinco de Mayo Battle ofPuebla with Mariachi mu-sic and folkloric dance,Mexican cuisine, and itsannual parade.

Attendees turned out toa celebration that bringsgreat pride to Mexicans.

Cinco de Mayo, mean-ing the fifth of May, com-memorates the May 5, 1862Battle of Puebla, México,where the outnumberedand poorly armed MexicanArmy and indigenous Mexi-can people defeated themore powerful and heavilyarmed interlopers fromFrance.

More History behindthe Battle of Puebla

The French had invadedthe city of Puebla during theFranco-Mexican War(1861-1867). Despite theU.S.’s Monroe Doctrine, theFrench invaded Mexico,

¡Viva México! Mexican Mutual Society celebratesCinco de MayoBy Ingrid Marie Rivera, La Prensa Correspondent

with the French realizingthat the United States wouldbe preoccupied with its CivilWar.

Because indigenousMexican President BenitoJuárez’s government’s de-fault on its debts to Euro-pean governments, France,Britain and Spain sent na-val forces to Veracruz in1861 to demand reim-bursement. Britain andSpain negotiated withMexico and withdrew, butFrance, ruled by NapoleonIII (1808-1873), wanted tocreate an empire on Mexi-can territory.

But it took six years andpolitical pressure from theUnited States before theFrench completely with-drew.

The Battle of Pueblamay not have fully endedthat war, but it was a signifi-cant win and the last time acountry in the Americaswas invaded by a Euro-pean military force [except-ing when the British Empiredefeated Argentina in theformer’s pursuit to maintaincontrol over the FalklandIslands in 1982].

With the victory at theBattle of Puebla led byTexas-born Mexican Gen-eral Ignacio Zaragoza,México proved its army’sresilience and successfullydefended its sovereignty –which was declared over50 years before this famous

battle, when México de-clared its independencefrom Spain in 1810. [Mexi-cans celebrate their inde-pendence day from Spainon September 16].

The Mexican MutualAnnual Cinco de Mayo Pa-rade

The Mexican MutualCinco de Mayo parade thisyear, which ran fromOakwood Park to Pearl Av-enue to 29th Street, was theirbiggest parade yet. Dozensof groups (over 60 units)participated in the paradeincluding the Lorain HighSchool Marching Band,school, business, city andpolitical groups.

Spectators cheered andwaved Mexican flags. Roy-alty marching in the paradeincluded former and currentMexican Mutual Societywinners, Sacred HeartChapel Mexican andPuerto Rican winners, andthe Lorain InternationalFestival courts.

PoemCanción cotidianaPor José Ángel Buesa

Tu amor llegó calladamente;calladamente se me fue...Porque el amor es una fuenteque se nos seca de repente,sin saber cómo ni por qué.

Amor de un beso que se olviday de un suspiro que se va;amor de paso en nuestra vida,pues se le da la bienvenidacuando tal vez se aleja ya.

Así tu amor fue como el mío,mujer de un claro atardecer:amor que pasa como un río,sin estancarse en el hastíoni repetirse en el placer.

Amor feliz que da sin tasa,pues sólo pide, a cambio, amor;amor que deja, cuando pasa,no la ceniza de una brasa,sino el perfume de una flor.

Amor que al irse no está ausente;amor sin dudas y sin fe,como este amor intrascendente,que, si llegó calladamente,calladamente se fue...

José Angel Buesa nació el 2 de septiembrede 1910, en Cuba, reconocido como unpoeta romántico con un dejo de melancolíaen sus trabajos poeticos. Se lo llamó el“poeta enamorado”. Buesa incursionó enla poesía a la edad de 7 años. Entre algunasde sus obras se encuentran La Vejez deDon Juan, Odas por la Victoria y MuerteDiaria. Tras un exitoso tiempo en la Ha-vana, se ve obligado a salir de Cuba y seexilia en España, Islas Canarias, El Salva-dor y República Dominicana, donde vivierahasta su fallecimiento en 1982.

El Barrio de SanTelmo, en Buenos Aires,es considerado uno de losbarrios más antiguos de lacuidad. Si bien la historiadata de mucho antes delas “Invasiones Inglesas”,este capítulo histórico delos comienzos de 1800,marca un momentoimportante en dichalocalidad.

Por entonces, el barriofue ocupado por losinvasores dondeestablecieron doshospitales. Uno de loshechos que se recuerdafue el incidente en la casade doña MartinaCéspedes, quien tomóprisioneros a doceingleses que veníanescapando de lasbatallas en las calles yentraron a su hogar. Lahistoria relata quefinalmente uno de ellosterminó casándose conuna de sus hijas.

También, se reconocecomo uno de los

acontecimientos queremarca la historia delbarrio de San Telmo lossucesos que tomaronlugar durante la epidemiade fiebre amarilla. Du-rante este período, lasfamilias adineradas de lazona se vieron forzadas aabandonar susresidencias y buscarvivienda en otras partesde la ciudad. Luego estasgrandes casonas,sirvieron de alberguepara familias deinmigrantes y así sefueron convirtiendo en loque se conoce en laactualidad por“conventillos”.

Hoy, San Telmo es unpunto cultural, histórico yturístico de la ciudad deBuenos Aires. Todos losdías se desarrollane x t r a o r d i n a r i a sactividades que nostransportan en el tiempoy que van acompañadasdel entorno histórico y laarquitectura del lugar.

Pero nadase compara alos díasdomingos, enque las callesempedradasnos dirigen aun rincón queno seencuentra enningún otrolugar de laciudad. Lasaceras están

inundadas de músicostalentosos, comoEmanuel Bonaccorso, laOrquesta Típica ElAfronte, y muchos otros,algunos de ellosconocidos como“músicos de la calle”, yaque se los encuentra enpresentaciones libres enlas veredas del paseo. Detalento sorprendente yestilos variados, desdetango a rioplatense nosacompañan comomúsica de fondo.

También, se hayan losbailarines de tango,profesionales y aficiona-dos, y todos aquellos quese inspiren y quierandisfrutar de un momentode este baile apasionadoque caracteriza no solo aSan Telmo sino a todoBuenos Aires.

Como parte delpaisaje, abriéndosecamino entre la gente,pasan los comerciantesambulantes, desde elvendedor de plumeros, elde sombreros, binchaspara el pelo, “mates” y“ g a r r a p i ñ a d a s ”(almendras cubiertas enazúcar).

June 1, 2012: A nation-ally-known art muralist isreturning to Toledo tomake the Broadway Cor-ridor a bit more colorfulover the next couple ofweeks. The Sofia QuinteroArt and Cultural Center(SQACC) and BowlingGreen State Universityalso are collaborating onthe Latino-themed muralproject, which will be simi-lar to an effort a couple ofyears ago to decorate anI-75 underpass.

Mario Torero returnedto the Glass City this weekto begin coordinating aseries of murals in con-junction with SQACC, LaGalería de las Américas,and the Organization ofLatino Artists. Torero isknown for public art muralprojects globally, as wellas in North American cit-ies such as San Diego,Los Angeles, and Tijuana,Mexico.

“We’re going to try to dofive, six murals—somebig, some small,” saidBGSU art professor Gor-don Ricketts. “The idea iswe painted under thebridge as a gateway to thecommunity, to the OldSouth End. Now we’ll con-tinue into the communityand bring the murals rightdown Broadway.”

As a visiting artist,Torero is expected to workclosely over the nextcouple weeks with the

community to create de-signs that is unique andculturally significant theOld South End. He willshare his expertise by di-recting numerous artistsand community memberswho volunteer their time tohelp paint the mural.

“I think it’s going tomake it a place wherepeople want to come,” saidRicketts. “Hopefully it willrevitalize the area andbring well-needed dollarsand it will become an artscommunity.”

After thunderstorms hadpassed late Tuesday morn-ing, Torero led a group of20 high school and collegeart students on a tour ofwhat he has envisioned forfive buildings along theBroadway Corridor. Hestopped at a south-facingwall at 1108 Broadway nextto the Good Samaritan Out-reach Center.

“Tonight we’re going toproject some images ofsome images I sketchedlast night,” Torero told thestudents, as he produced aslide of an Aztec dancer infull period costume along-side a more modern-look-ing ballet dancer. “By tomor-row morning, we’re going tobe painting them. We are somany, because others willbe joining us that we’ll bepainting two or three wallsat the same time—some-thing that hasn’t happenedbefore.”

Other locations includea storefront next door to LaGalería de las Américas,a building that oncehoused a Mexican restau-rant, and a wall facingWestern Ave. at The Provi-dence Center. The groupalso may paint a garagedoor at SQACC. Toreroand the SQACC staffspent Memorial Day week-end scouting possible lo-cations.

“It’s really a way tospruce up the neighbor-hood and get people tonotice there’s a lot goingon in the Old South Endwith art, music, and cul-ture,” said JenniferMoorman, SQACC’s artdirector.

According to the ArtsCommission of GreaterToledo, public art projectssuch as this play an impor-tant part in the city. Publicengagement and commu-nity partnership projectslike this encourage citi-zens to feel a sense ofpride and ownership intheir surroundings. Theyalso improve the quality oflife by positively impactingthe city’s aesthetic andcultural identity.

“These could be pro-jected as si lhouettes,with just plain black onthe walls,” explainedTorero. “But we’ll be ableto put lots of color. Oncewe get painting, we maypaint a background.”

“Of course, our stu-dents are going to learnabout culture and learnabout working within acommunity and the sensi-tivity that’s needed for that,”said Ricketts. “The localchildren, we always try tograb any kids walkingaround to help paint. Theytake real pride in the area.”

“The original project

has nowspawneda neigh-borhoodg r o u p ,w h e r ep e o p l efrom then e i g h -borhood

are doing their own setsof murals, said BGSU artprofessor CharlieKanwiszher. “Already ithas generated momen-tum. May those groups willbegat more groups and soon. This could be the cata-lyst.”

Ms. Moorman hopedthe murals would projectthe Old South End as an

arts district,similar towhat is hap-pening inthe nearbyWarehouseD i s t r i c tdowntown,p o s s i b l yp r o v i d i n gan informallink between

the neighborhoods.“I see it as a link and I

think it’s a step in the rightdirection to create thatlink,” she said.

The students smiledbroadly at the prospect ofhelping with the muralsafter hearing Torero’s ex-planations of his vision forthe project. Work on themurals is expected to con-tinue through Friday, June8. Anyone interested involunteering is asked tocontact SQACC art direc-tor Moorman at419.215.8570.

The mother of four livesin Millbury, so there may bea friendly rivalry withGonzález. She just hopesshe doesn’t make the re-tired sheriff’s deputy lookbad.

The game against theIndianapolis Indians Sun-day begins at 6 p.m., but thegates will open an hour ear-lier for pre-game activities.
