Bobby Garza-Hernandez (TX) — Celebrates the 21st Anniversary of her business, Pink Consulting, a public relations firm specializing in community outreach and engagement. Visit her at www.pinkpr.biz.
Celeste Leon (CA) — Her novel, Luck is Just the Beginning, was the book of the Month in Las Comadres and Friends National Book Club, and was released in late 2015 by Floricanto Press. Sadly, the founder passed away and the press closed after 40 years, and her book was out of print. So after much deliberation, Celeste re-published it herself with a new Author’s Note. It was a formidable task (hundreds of hours) and a labor of love. Luck is Just the Beginning is now available at your favorite book outlets.
Marissa Marquez (TX) – On June 17, Marissa was promoted to the labor & employment legal counsel role at Houston Methodist Hospital.
Gina Nuez-Mchiri (CA) — This August 2023, Dr. Núñez-Mchiri completed her first year as Dean of San Diego State University-Imperial Valley. She is delighted to be back in California serving in this leadership position in a majority Latinx campus on the U.S.-Mexico Border. (The San Diego State University is celebrating its 125th Anniversary this year.)
Angela Rodriguez Mooney (TX) – Is thrilled to share that she’ll be joining the faculty at Texas Woman’s University as an Assistant Professor of Spanish this August.
Zulmara Maria Teixeira de Lima (CA) – This July, Zulmara celebrated 10 years of Daily Abrazos…an ABRAZO from your divine self-reminding you just how incredible you are.
