Cuando supe que Robert Francis Prevost había sido elegido el nuevo Papa y que se crio en mi ciudad natal, Chicago, aplaudí a solas en mi sala viendo el anuncio en directo por las noticias nacionales. En cuestión de horas, los memes empezaron a circular en redes sociales. Algunos parecían un poco irrespetuosos. Pero la curiosidad por él estaba por todas partes, incluso entre los no católicos.

When I heard Robert Francis Prevost was elected the new pope and that he was raised in my hometown of Chicago, I cheered alone in my living room watching the announcement live on national news. Within hours, the memes started flying on social media. Some of them seemed a little disrespectful. But curiosity about him was everywhere, including among non-Catholics.

Otro trágico accidente en nuestra costa de San Diego nos recuerda cuán desesperados están muchos migrantes.

If you are a movie fan and happen to live in San Diego, you already know that our region hosts at least 10 film festivals, (not including the student film festivals at local campuses), but there’s one that holds a special place in my heart — the San Diego Latino Film Festival. Since 2002, I’ve been involved with the festival in one way or another. I have attended, helped organize and even presented my own films. This year’s lineup has already been announced and it won’t disappoint.

Oct. 21, 2007, is a day many of us in San Diego will never forget. I was at Ocean Beach enjoying a warm sunny day with my family when we saw thick black smoke in the distance. At the time I had an infant 7 months old. Within hours, the county was up in flames. One fire grew to four, including the Harris Fire near the U.S.-Mexico border where I live. The intense heat, the uncertainty and the floating ash that looked like rain left my heart thumping. I was afraid.
