This has been on the LatinSoul website for quite some time, but I just found it.  “If you haven’t already done so, listen to Blog/Podcast #8, which features Nilsa Mariano’s poignant and powerful story “Hunger.” Please tune in and you will get a chance to have Nilsa reach right in and grab your heart with her fantastic story about the hunger of our Latin@ children to be proud of who they are, and where they come from. Nilsa’s story brings me to tears each time I read or hear it, because it gets straight to the crux of the matter: we need to help our children see the beauty and power in their cultural heritage and in themselves, and defeat the negative messages that our children may receive about who they are. God bless you for being in the world, Nilsa, and for helping our children to walk tall, and to dream big… It’s a powerful podcast, so don’t miss it!”
