Filmed remotely, the diverse influential women from different industries in Florida share their stories, their drive to success, and raise a glass to the unsung women frontline essential workers. Their inspirational, moving videos will release one by one this week and run through Women’s History Month, which coincides with the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am raising a glass to all women actors and storytellers who impacted our lives,” said Canals-Barrera, whose video releases on March 16. “Our contributions have engaged and entertained all communities throughout the pandemic.”

“I’m honored to have been chosen by Gentleman Jack to participate in this campaign,” said Bell, CEO of Black Girl Ventures, whose video releases on March 17. “There are so many different fields where women lead in the frontline, such as teachers.

The Boston University Center for Antiracist Research and Boston Globe Opinion announce The Emancipator, a resurrection of 19th-century abolitionist newspapers that will reframe the national conversation on racial justice

March 16, 2021

BOSTON, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Boston University Center for Antiracist Research and Boston Globe Opinion announced today a collaboration to launch The Emancipator, a new media platform that will reframe the national conversation on race.

Building on the tradition and impact of 19th-century antislavery newspapers that hastened abolition, The Emancipator will be reimagined for today to amplify critical voices, ideas, debates, and evidence-based opinion in an effort to hasten racial justice.

“When The Emancipator was first founded in 1820, it was very difficult for people to believe that slavery, 45 years later, would be no more, just as I think there are many people today who can’t imagine that there could be a nation without racism and inequality,” said Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, co-founder of The Emancipator and founding director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research. “This reimagined platform will marry the best of scholarship and journalism to analyze, comment, and seek truth about the racial problems of our time.”

The Emancipator will showcase critical voices and ideas by building a hybrid newsroom — anchored by the support of founding institutions, the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research and The Boston Globe — which will produce original opinion and ideas journalism. It will feature oped contributions from world-leading experts and community voices captured by student journalists. Philanthropic funding will help ensure that The Emancipator’s content is free to the public.

“Boston has a storied newspaper tradition dating back to the 19^th century,” said Bina Venkataraman, co-founder of The Emancipator and editorial page editor at The Boston Globe. “Resurrecting The Emancipator is an opportunity for journalists — and readers — to be engaged in something historic: an engine of ideas grounded in data, community experience, and scholarship that provokes new conversations and progress on racial justice.”

The Emancipator is currently seeking two co-editors in chief to lead the initiative and plans to launch its newsroom later in 2021. In addition to co-founders Kendi and Venkataraman, members of the founding team include Kimberly Atkins, Boston Globe columnist and MSNBC contributor and Dr. Monica Wang, Associate Director of Narrative for the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research. The project will be supported by an Advisory Board of prominent leaders and thinkers: Joy Reid, Eddie Glaude, Sewell Chan, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Emily Ramshaw, S. Mitra Kalita, Jelani Cobb, Annette Gordon-Reed, Heather McGhee, Peniel Joseph, Jose Antonio Vargas , Julian Brave NoiseCat, Ian F. Haney López and Sunny Bates.

Over the course of four days, experts such as Melissa Nunez-Smith, MD, MHS, White House Equity Task Force; RADM Felicia Collins, MD, MPH, FAAP, Acting Assistant Secretary of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); and Lee Fleisher, MD, Medical Officer of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will discuss strategies and cast vision for the public and private sector that will increase access to quality healthcare for Latino families.

We have the honor of welcoming Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. (CA-36), chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, MD, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who will also receive the 2021 Hispanic Health Leadership Award, and several other leading public health officials.

Ismael Cala’s oratory and communication academy restarts at the Cala Center in Miami

March 16, 2021

MIAMI, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cala Speaking Academy, Ismael Cala’s oratory and communication academy restarts in-person classes in the city of Miami from March 18 to 21.

“The pandemic has shown us that communicating well is a necessity, not a luxury”, Cala explained on resuming the popular course, now in new facilities at the Cala Center.

Around twenty hand-picked individuals will spend four intense days training at the Cala Center in Miami and will learn all Ismael’s secrets and tips directly from him, with personalized feedback.

“When we created Cala Speaking Academy, we did so convinced that 80% of the success of any business or person depends on the ability to communicate.

It is essential for entrepreneurs, lecturers, business people or students to master communication techniques for personal and professional success,” Cala added.

IBHS’s latest OFB-EZ business continuity planning toolkit now available in Spanish

March 16, 2021

TAMPA, Fla., March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Recognizing the vital role Spanish speakers play in small businesses across the country, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) today released the new streamlined version of its free business continuity planning toolkit, Open For Business-EZ, better known as OFB-EZ, in Spanish to aid more owners and operators in planning for the variety of disasters that can jeopardize operations.

“Resilience must be accessible to all to keep local economies strong. Spanish-speakers play a critical role in communities across the country, and we cannot let language barriers stand in the way,” says IBHS managing director of Commercial Lines, Chuck Miccolis.

The new streamlined version of OFB-EZ provides step-by-step guidance for business owners and staff to build and maintain a business continuity plan that will help them prepare for, respond to, and recover faster from a minor disruption or major disaster.

According to the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, there are more than 4.7 million Hispanic-owned businesses across the country.

“Hispanic-owned small businesses are a driving force in our nation’s economy. Helping these businesses prepare for potential disruptions like severe weather is key to building resilient communities,” adds Gail Moraton, business resiliency manager at IBHS.

Available for download in a PDF or Word format, OFB-EZ is a streamlined toolkit comprised of ten modules designed to help busy small business owners and operators identify and mitigate risks. OFB-EZ provides a roadmap to preparedness by laying out simple tasks necessary to develop a business continuity plan, including developing an employee contact list, reviewing and documenting insurance policies, building a plan for supply chain disruptions and other exercises to address key business vulnerabilities.

“Many businesses are unprepared for a weather disaster or disruption like a long-term power outage. By using OFB-EZ to develop a business continuity plan, small businesses can be better positioned to recover from an interruption,” explains Moraton.

OFB-EZ Spanish Edition adds to the suite of free business preparedness materials available to all small businesses from IBHS. Download the no-cost toolkit at DisasterSafety.org/ofb-ez.
