CURRENT MISSION

Promoting integration and appreciation for cultural diversity

ABOUT ME

I am a curious and passionate person who is interested in exploring the world. I currently live in Chicago and have a blog that promotes this city as a global cultural destination with a focus on world music and dance (www.chicagourbanite.com). I produce cultural events that promote appreciation for cultural diversity. I collaborate with a couple of dance groups and host a bilingual TV show in Chicago called Perspectivas Latinas
