Celebrity activist Carlos Andrés Gómez addresses audience at BGSU 28th Annual Latino/A/X Issues Conference

March 28, 2024: A keynote presentation should connect with your audience. People need to be able to resonate with your message and identify with the subject matter. They have to be shaken a little in the way that they think, to get the opportunity to become inspired by it.

It’s the same experience that movie makers and actors try to achieve on the screen. They want us to see and feel ourselves in the characters, to identify with the struggles they’re facing, and to cheer when those struggles are overcome. And judging by the audience’s applause, cheering, and whistles, mission accomplished.

Al actuar en esta vida con objetivo, es muy importante saber cómo SER, cómo TENER y cómo SERVIR

En el vibrante mundo empresarial, donde las historias de éxito se entrelazan con la determinación y la pasión, emerge una figura inspiradora: Gloria Valeria Scheid Zamora. Su relato, plasmado en el libro “Mujeres in Business, Michigan Edition”, es un testimonio de resiliencia, esfuerzo y entrega inquebrantable.

By La Prensa Staff

LUCAS COUNTY, OH, Feb. 21, 2024: A rare occurrence faces Lucas County voters at the polls March 19, when two high-profile, long-time elected officials square off in a Democratic primary hoping to finish the term of a Lucas County Commission seat.

But that’s exactly the case with Ohio Senator Paula Hicks-Hudson (D-11th District) running against incumbent Anita López, who was recently sworn in as Lucas County Commissioner after giving up her Lucas County Auditor post to replace retired county commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak.
