I don’t know what I enjoy more… drinking “juice”, or cleaning the nasty, sticky residue left from yesterdays spill.

What is next, after a freakish fall from what seems to be a pretty bad trip, the world is our playground. There isn’t much but to get to know those around you. Those who along with you can create a very fun game, team or maybe even family.

Whether it be in the warmth of the sun, the cool in the breeze, the humid in that rain or that sweaty chill under the those five sweaters and jacket…We are all out there. Playing, planting, creating, building …all doing something.

 

Here to stay!!

Finally EARLY is physically up and running!! Great news for parents located in the North Bronx, Particularly, Norwood. Very grateful to all the parents who have made this possible!! There has been a few deviations along the way but I am so excited to announce that we are up and running. Find EARLY for yourself!

The Week

Protests erupt after officer cleared in Eric Garner’s death, 17 states sue Obama over immigration, and more

1. New Yorkers protest decision not to charge officer for chokehold death
Protests broke out in New York City on Wednesday after a Staten Island grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer in the July chokehold death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man who was being arrested for allegedly selling loose cigarettes. Demonstrators chanted, “Black lives matter,” and, “I can’t breathe” — one of the last things Garner said. The officer, Daniel Pantaleo, has said he didn’t mean to hurt Garner. Attorney General Eric Holder promised an investigation into whether Garner’s civil rights were violated. [NBC News, The New York Times]

Eric Garner and Why Cameras Are Not Magic Wands

Why It’s Hard to Tell How Many People Are Killed by Police Each Year

Excited!!

Again, on a underground stats, I was able to initiate a project that I believe would bring a lot of good to the Latino community in the Bronx. I am very Excited to announce that E.A.R.L.Y (Educational Assistance and Resources for the Latin-American Youth) has initiated and is currently in search of partner and volunteers who can be part o this amazing and helpful initiative for our community!!

I Have initiated a Kickstarter page, began to spread the word to many of the parents around my community and ask for those who believe in this project to do the same. Thank you all for the support!!

Why is it so hard to find educational resources for latino families????!!!!

Being in a foring country even if it is for action can become a very stressful situation, yet this problem doesn’t compare to the sleepless nights many parents face when dealing with their whats’ and hows’ to to the problematics with dealing with a child who has intellectual disabilities. Why is it so hard, we ask well  to answer this question have to go to what is a Latino? Why is it when we talk about Latino Culture we all can identify the latest latino pop-star, soap “actress” etc. Yet if you a parent of a child who is diagnosed with intellectual retardation there is absolutely no tag with Latino.

It can be extremely frustrating yet, anger can be the spark to change!!!!!!!!!!

Getting Personal: Why you should wear a White Ribbon on Nov. 25

❤ the way this is written1! completely agree!!

Raise Him Right

November 25^th is White Ribbon day, and I’ll be wearing mine with pride. White Ribbon is Australia’s only national, male led campaign to end men’s violence against women. Fortunately, people are beginning to realise what this organisation has known for years: gender-based violence is a men’s issue too.

There are real primary prevention strategies that could end this totally curable social disease. That’s why I’m encouraging parents and the community at large to get on board this truly game-changing campaign. It is achievable to end domestic violence, rape and sexual assault. It is achievable to never have your son, daughter, mother, father, friend or partner experience these horrors. It is achievable to live in a society that treats men and women and equals.

Sexual violence and sexism affects all of us in some way, even if we don’t know exactly how. The cost of violence against women to the…
