Soy estratega de comunicación y asesora en diplomacia cultural. Fuera del turismo y la cultura, me apasiona mucho la justicia social y, como resultado, he trabajado para varias organizaciones que se ocupan de cuestiones de justicia social.

Happy birthday, Nkechi Agwu, (1962) expert in ethnomathematics. Amongst other achievements, she authored biographies of mathematicians of African descent including J. Ernest Wilkins, Jr (1923-2911) (monikered "the Negro Genius") & David Harold Blackwell (1918-2010), statistician & game theorist.

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

🫂 La salud mental no puede depender de cuánto dinero tienes, cuánto aguantas o cuánto tardas en pedir ayuda. Necesitamos tiempo para vivir, trabajos dignos, redes de apoyo y una sanidad pública que cuide sin dejar a nadie atrás Hoy día mundial de la salud mental 🫂 Van Gogh, Anciano apenado, 1890

This Day in Labor History: October 10, 1947. African workers on the Dakar-Niger Railway in modern Senegal went on strike with the demand that they be treated equal to French workers. This is a hugely important moment in both African labor history and the anticolonial struggle in west Africa!!!

A lo largo de la historia, algunas personas sencillas se convierten en símbolos. Muestran una realidad política o social, amalgaman emociones y guían o activan una comunidad. Maricarmen y su desahucio es probable que se recuerde mucho tiempo como un símbolo de nuestro tiempo.

Estupenda la iniciativa que desde la Uni en la calle de la Complutense está llevando las clases a Sol. Hoy he impartido una sesión denominada "Democracia radical vs. populismos. Una teoría política para y desde las acampadas". Todo un reto. La he disfrutado un montón, con una audiencia muy especial.

Carlos Alcaraz advances in Tokyo as Denis Shapovalov is forced to retire due to injury. Carlos led 7-6 1-0 before Denis hurt himself at the start of the 2nd set. Hopefully Denis will bounce back quickly. ❤️‍🩹 Carlos reaches back-to-back Tokyo semifinals. 🇪🇸

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.
