This photograph from the 1920s shows Adelina Ruelas dressed as a vaquera (cowgirl) when she was 15 or 16 years old. She was working at a ranch in Box Canyon in the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson.

Ranching was a strong tradition amongst many Mexican American families in southern Arizona, stretching back to the times before the Gadsden Purchase transferred this region from Mexico to the United States in 1853.

On a stretch of 16th Street known for its murals, restaurants and bars, Arianna Pared Villegas opened Cocina La Negra.

It's the first Afro-Cuban restaurant in metro Phoenix and the best way to order is to simply ask for "a little bit of everything" for a plate of rice, salad, yuca, plantain and portions of the day's meat dishes.

Having performed at Coachella and a NPR Tiny Desk Concert, this Latin GRAMMY-winning, New York-based ensemble is one of the finest all-female mariachi groups on the planet. The group began as a trio named for the delirium-inducing Mexican flower used as a love potion for generations. As it has grown in notoriety, the band has expanded to as many as ten members depending on the setting, forming a truly global ensemble with musicians hailing from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States.

The Sports Leadership And Management Academy (SLAM), founded by Pitbull in 2013 is making its way to the Valley. The new public charter school plans to open for students K-12 in Mesa, Arizona, in 2022.

The Carter school states that it is an 'innovative and in-depth secondary educational program that produces college-bound students through an emphasis on sports-related majors and post-secondary preparation'.

There are two other SLAM campuses; 2015 the Henderson, Nevada campus opened, and in 2016 the West Palm Beach, Florida campus opened.
