CAMBIO Y PROGRESO: LLEGO LA HORA! Dedico esta columna a cada lider comunal y organizacion que lucha por la igualdad, los derechos humanos y cada dia con su dedicacion levantan la voz por la edificacion de todos! Siempre llevo la sonrisa y el amor de La justicia se ha dado cita colectivamente e individualmente en cada comunidad donde forjarmos nuestras vidas. Llego la hora por y para un cambio a un sistema socio-juridico que fomenta division y abuso de poder y represion. La voz de la conciencia pro-justicia social marcha en cada estado de la nacion y a traves de las fronteras geograficas. Desde el mostrador de la bodeguita de la esquina aqui en Buffalo hasta la calle 8 en Miami, la justicia ha llegado a nuestras puertas y nos clama que la escuchemos. El cambio ya esta en nuestras puertas, la justicia clama y dice en voz alta: “cuidadana, toma tu voz e inteligentemente usa tu voto.” Los cambios a las politicas socio-juridicas, legales y sociales han llegado. Este es el umbral de un cambio total! Los cambios a las politicas de patrullaje, uso de fuerza y procedimientos de arresto estan aqui. Juntos, como comunidades y cuidadanos de bien, necesitamos llevar nuestra voces a las urnas! Los acontecimientos historicos que estamos viviendo nos piden que dejemos la apatia social a un lado y que actuemos ahora con precision. La crisis que enfrentamos en la educacion y la salubridad nos pide que trabajemos en metas concretas. No podemos sobrevivir y co-existir en una crisis perpetua. Si tienes el poder del voto, usalo para cambiar el curso de las politicas represivas y racistas. Si no lo tienes, participa como puedas a traves del derecho a la protesta pacifica y el cabildeo a legisladores. Apoya a candidatos cuyas plataformas de gestion y trabajo tenien base de edificacion comunal y participacion civico-comunal. Basta Ya! No Mas Slogans! Hemos despertado, el mundo clama: justicia social. Ahora necesito de ti, ahora necesitamos de mi…lleva tu voz a las urnas y a la protesta pacifica! Si podemos cambiar el rumbo. Este es el momento para cambios! Este es el momento de edificar nuestras comunidades; no con discursos, y no proclamas; sino con accion tangible. Piensa como puedes ser efectivo en tu comunidad y en el cambio…no con violencia ni saqueos; sino, con cambios legislativos y pidiendo transparencia legislativa y fiscal!

SIXTEEN REASONS WHY I FEEL OFFENDED

Leave a Comment / People /

SIXTEEN REASONS WHY I FEEL OFFENDED I felt offended when a classmate in graduate school said, “you are lucky to have a white husband so he could raise your status in society.” I felt offended when my supervisor told me “you are not worth Florida’s taxpayers money”. I felt offended when you discussed my car with my husband when I am the one paying for it. I felt offended when you told me I was “lucky to have Italian blood because you know how Puerto Ricans are.” I felt offended when you thought public assistance is mostly Latin people. I felt offended when you told me, “not to say she’s my sister because she is darker.” I felt offended when you thought I needed you to pay my rent. I felt offended when you thought somebody must control me. I felt offended when you are telling me to go back where I came from. I felt offended when you tell me to succumb to the norm, which I will not. I felt offended when a hair stylist said, “I could not do my hair because it was coarse.” I felt offended when you dare ask me, “where are you from?” I felt offended when you focused on my accent. I felt offended when you tell me “not to aim so high because I will be disappointed.” I felt offended every time you behaved as if my skin color gives you rights to belittle me. I felt offended when you did not hire me because you thought clients would not come to a therapist with an accent. My journey in life, has given me my share of offenses, and then some, while I continue to contribute to the betterment of it all. Were it not for my grandma’s wise words: “if they do not pay your rent or buy your undies, pay them no mind!” Coming from her was all I needed. A person who validates your worth by asking you to contribute to society is a rareness all its own, as opposed to someone who discourages you based on their fears.  As I reach the latter part of my life, I try not to offend but support and encourage because, as you see, life hands you many hurdles and the only way to jump through them is to be strong, determined, and focused on your goal. If someone were to ask me, how do I deal with all these undermining, discrediting and shameful social actions, I remember her saying: “Who pays your rent and who buys your undies?” Read More From This Writer All Post Culture Food Government Health Interviews Lower West Side Business & Economic Development Medical Peace People SIXTEEN REASONS WHY I FEEL OFFENDED July 17, 2020/No Comments POST TITLE (CAPITAL) Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

A Productivity Nightmare

Leave a Comment / Business /

Working from home is a dream come true, for some, but for others, a productivity nightmare. It is understandable considering we are creatures of habit and context. If we have subconsciously designated a space to work, we will feel uncomfortable playing, and, if we have designated a space to play, then we will have a hard time concentrating on the work. One of my biggest criteria for any job I have ever done has been how close it is to home or can be done from home. As a result, I have ended up doing quite a bit of work from home and have noticed the phenomenon being a huge factor in productivity. I would like to share my tips and tricks for maximizing productivity and show you that, just like I was in the 2 months I was working 100% from home, you can be more productive at home than at the office. Clear your workspace: When you are working from home it is quite common to get distracted and sometimes, we need distractions to maximize our performance. However, those distractions must be on your terms and not that of the distractions. What this means is, to clear your workspace of any books, unrelated notes, etc. This includes your computer desktop. Do not keep your Facebook or YouTube open on the same window as you do your work, which brings us to the 2nd tip. Use an extra monitor: The best way to prevent distractions is for them not to be in your face. You should have an extra monitor only for work activities, preferably at an angle where you cannot see your entertainment monitor. The benefits of this may not seem major now but it is fascinating how much simple compartmentalization can do for you. Write Reports: Have you ever wondered why reports have been instrumental in any workplace for thousands of years? They are great for letting others know what you did but they also keep you accountable. Accountability reduces the willpower load on you and helps you develop habits. More importantly, you can always go to yesterday’s report to make sure you completed your routine tasks. To-Do Lists: Simplest and perhaps most effective productivity tool, make a list of the things you wish to accomplish during the day but here is the twist: ALWAYS KEEP IT IN YOUR FIELD OF VIEW. Even if you are not focusing on it, it should be in your line of sight. This way when your eyes inevitably start wandering off, you will encounter your notes and will remember what you need to get done now. These are the time-tested major tips I have heard from the experts and applied to myself. I have achieved a quantifiable increase in productivity in all types of work that I have done and would thoroughly recommend it to everyone. Remember, willpower is a limited resource, so use it well.
