Happy Monday everyone! ✨
As much of our lives seem to slowly be returning to normal, we may get a little caught up in doing all the things we’ve missed this past year.

It’s important not to lose focus on your goals! While out and about remember to introduce yourself, your skills and talents to those you meet. Nobody will open doors for you, you have to open your own doors to success! 🚪🏆

More than one million people cross back and forth between our sister cities every month. Even though we have seen a decrease in border travel this year largely due to the pandemic, many of our trips to Juarez (and vice versa) are essential to our everyday lives.

Work, school, doctor/dentist visits, entertainment, night life, and debatably better food, are just a few of the perks found living along la Frontera.

This unique feature often becomes a habit, which has caused us to forget what a true privilege it is to cross between two nations so effortlessly.

06/05/2021

Everyday thousands of residents cross through the international bridge from one sister city to the other. We work, learn, do business and so much more. 🚶‍♂️🚲🚗

This week on Old Cities, New Ways, our hosts discuss the many perks that come with living in bordering cities. We’re sure you can relate to some of these activities!

What’s your favorite thing about living in la frontera?

An NFT is a non-fungible token, or a unit of data that is stored on a digital ledger, aka a blockchain. Each token is unique, and cannot be replaced by something else, therefore making each NFT non-interchangeable.

Sometimes hyper-focusing on one thing alone can keep you from seeing the bigger picture.

Instead of picking only one thing, whether it be on a personal or business level, why not improve a variety of skills that can work together for a greater cause?

What are a few things you can work on today to improve them by 1%?

Happy Monday! We’re here to remind you to never limit your creativity! ✨

Creativity can be defined as “the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others and entertaining ourselves and others”.

We challenge you to think outside of the box today and channel your creativity to express yourself and go after something big! 🧠💥

As a server, you are responsible for providing your customers with an entire experience. Good food, great service, and an overall good time.

Yet, when so much is expected of you it is easily forgotten that you are not only catering to one table but to multiple all at once. There are only so many factors you can control during a person’s dining experience but you’re expected to have a solution for anything that may come up.

Join us this week as we discussed the highly demanding aspects of being a server with Steven Villagrana.

Former University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) President, Dr. Diana Natalicio has always understood the immense influence higher education has on the borderplex region. Making an affordable, high-quality college education readily available is a must for the greater success of the community.

During her 31 year tenure, UTEP’s student enrollment increased by 10,000; a majority of the student population came from the region itself. More than 80% are Mexican-American students and nearly 5% of students attend from Ciudad Juárez.

Natalicio was named as one of Fortune’s Top 50 World Leaders in 2017. She was also included in the TIME 100 most influential people in the world in 2016.
