For 21 years, Nueva York has highlighted the valuable cultural, social, and artistic contributions of the Latino communities that bring the city to life.
In this episode, we visit the studio of Danny Cortés, a Nuyorican artist who, from Bushwick in Brooklyn, creates stunning miniature models that have gained international recognition, inspired by the energy of 1990s New York City.
We also speak with Ligia Guallpa, Executive Director of the Workers Justice Project, a key voice in advocating for the rights of workers and immigrant communities.
To close, we meet the Sanabria brothers, founders of Lyenzo, a Bogotá-based fashion brand that blends creativity with a commitment to sustainability.
Stories that reflect the talent, resilience, and diversity of our Latino community.
