I moved to Cincinnati a few years ago when I began my career at Xavier University, and although my home was only 3 ours away, I felt that I was far from my family and Hispanic traditions. I had to say goodbye to my mom's Mexican cooking, our endless nights of dancing, our afternoons of conversation in Spanish and English, and my favorite, Abuelita's hot chocolate.  It was wonderful to discover the family that the chamber has offered me since I got a phone call last year informing me that I had received a

2015-2016 Scholarship Recipient: Bianca Menedin Testimony

Dear mr. Cornejo and chamber volunteers  In December, I received the best news in my life so far, I was hired for an internship. I had been trying with countless efforts trying to get a job in the United States but my status of international student made this be almost impossible.  It was very frustrating because I saw people with the same or less qualifications than me getting good internships/ jobs and all I could do was keep trying.  Since I got involved with the camera I met many good people and in

Fiesta Del Pueblo History

“Fiesta del pueblo” or town party has a very long history in the Latino world. Its origin is not quite clear, but it appears to have evolved in Spain, probably in the 11th or 12th century. In some towns it was used to celebrate the work of the key craftsmen of the town; in more rural areas it may have been to celebrate the harvest, much as other cultures celebrate the harvest. It was brought to America by the Spanish, undoubtedly Catholic missionaries, as another aspect of their quest to convert Latin

It is was made in a large warehouse and was transported a couple of days before the event to Riverbend, where it was assembled and hung high to be seen from miles around. It was “broken” on Sunday afternoon with prizes and candy for all the children present at

Cinco De Mayo History
