Teamwork makes the dream work

~ Ann & Christina ~

Every city has a Latina story hidden under the surface — from Chileans in Boston to Cubans in New Orleans. This year, I’m making it a goal to find the historic señoras of every place I visit, starting with Newport, RI.

Un abrazo,

From Our Book: Live Slow

Our book gives you simple tips for living better. One is to slow down.Your great grandmothers and abuelas didn’t call it “slow living” — they just lived it. Morning coffee in a chipped mug, writing down recipes, afternoons spent in the shade talking to the vecina instead of rushing. Why did we get so far from that? I wrote about this idea over in Business Insider last week. Dig in more in our book, Radical Señora Era, out in stores Sept 30 but now available for preoder.
