Interview of Merisa Trevino of Latina Lista

From Breakthrough:

Read our newest in the I AM THIS LAND interview series on b-listed with Merisa Trevino, Founder and Publisher of Latina Lista as part of our I AM THIS LAND video contest on diversity.

Latina Lista is a niche news site targeting English speaking Latinas.  With the mantra that “national is local,” Latina Lista has created an unprecedented roster of contributors who span not just the United States, but all of the Americas. Marisa says:  “I AM THIS LAND because I was born belonging to four cultures and two languages. My eyes don’t see as much as they reflect the beauty of the variety in the human race, geography, religion, life experiences and even politics.”

About I AM THIS LAND contest at www.iamthisland.org:
From now until January 7th, 2011, we are calling on people to make a video on diversity using the phrase “I am this land,” and enter to win a grand prize of $2,500 and more.  In 2010, we watched all the things that happened in 2010: From anti-immigrant actions and racial profiling to bullying and homophobia; from fear mongering to the extreme, divisive rhetoric of the mid-term elections: it’s time for a do over.  We believe that in the new year many people are ready to live in a country that is open-minded and celebrates differences.

Stay tuned for our weekly I AM THIS LAND feature interviews! For questions about I Am THIS LAND contest, contact Crissy Spivey – crissy@breakthrough.tv
