Trump against Journalists

August 26, 2015 By

  I personally don’t like the journalism style of Jorge Ramos. Some time he seems intimidating and tries to push the limits with whomever he is interviewing, be it at president of a country or a celebrity, you name it. However it surprise me that Mr. Donald Trump, the famous billionaire, as he claims himself to be - famous for his “raw & exaggerated way of talking”, the tough business man of NY, had to have his security detail remove Jorge Ramos from his recent press conference in Iowa.

This wave of female confidence has been prevalent especially since the debut of Sheryl Sandberg’s novel, “Lean In.” One particular group who has gained national as well as global recognition is “ChIPs.” “ChIPs” is … [Read more...]

En la Copa Mundial Femenina, los EUA se han colocado a la final.

July 14, 2011 By

por Adriana Ramos En la Copa Mundial Femenina, los Estados Unidos, se han colocado a la final. ¿Cómo, las mujeres? La historia del fútbol (como decimos en México – soccer de este lado de la frontera-) ha crecido en participación y popularidad en los últimos 30 años, y ahí está el resultado, una merecida llegada a la “Final” del equipo femenil. Para mí, el primer encuentro con el soccer femenil, fue cuando me mandaron a estudiar y vivir con la familia “Smith” en Pasadena California, a un intercambio, objetivo dominar idiomas. Mi vuelo Internacional de la Ciudad de México aterrizo en Los Angeles, mi familia y en especial Caroline me recibieron con globos, era una experiencia única el poder compartir más que un verano y meses de escuela, sería una vivencia … [Read more...]
