"It is clear to me that the changing face of America is best illustrated by the Latino community. I think we are going to be transformational for this nation. However it’s up to us to change the narrative that has, for too long, described our community. And to make our interests known. As a community, we have not been able to articulate our needs.”
- Javier Palomarez of the US Hispanic Business Council
This quote is an excerpt from a long interview that I did with Javier. He was trapped in his car in a rainstorm in a national park in Texas. When I read the transcript over again, I got inspired by the number of ideas happening within this quote.
- Who is the face of America?
- How are Latina/os transformational for this country?
- What is the current Latina/o narrative?
- What are the Latina/o interests?
- How does the Latina/o community articulate its needs?
