Día 93: La pandemia del COVID-19 que nos tiene en casa por acá, por allá, partout desde marzo – con más y más incertidumbre en unos que en otros lugares – nos está retando. De una u otra manera, claro que sí. Crucemos los dedos porque las cosas se mejoren en Peru y en Brasil, […]

Pandemic Peeps-Día 86: Roxana Villanueva de Haro
Día 86: La pandemia del COVID-19 que nos tiene en casa por acá, por allá, partout desde marzo – con más y más incertidumbre en unos que en otros lugares – nos está retando. De una u otra manera, claro que sí. En Estados Unidos, los efectos y estragos del pecado original americano – 400 […]
DiscrimiNation
Discrimination of any form is nothing but an excuse not to do a job well. “We the People…” all have the same Bill of Rights. Why haven’t we all been seeking to form a more perfect union, establish justice, and insure domestic tranquility? Why haven’t we been able to provide for the common defense, promote […]
Pandemic Peeps: Nick D’Annunzio
As the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a novel and deadly coronavirus that spread out of China during the winter, has us on Month 3 of a generalized global shutdown, I thought I’d check in on some of the people I’ve met along the way, my community. I have lived in three cities across two countries […]
#ApoyemosJuntosPe
A group of mes amies franco-péruviennes from high school in Lima, Peru, and in Paris, France, is helping to manage #ApoyemosJuntosPe, an ongoing GoFundMe campaign to raise crucial funds for Peruvian hospitals in need of personal protective equipment (PPE) to fight COVID-19. To support the various Peruvian institutions pleading for PPE during this pandemic moment […]
The Thing About Bad Bunny
It was so good to see and hear Bad Bunny encourage the Class of 2020 this evening. Twenty-five years ago I would go to my French school every day, then, after class and stuff at home, I’d watch a ton of American TV. The same shows y’all probably watched back then. It helped me pick up […]
#Iclosemyeyes…and Go to Iguaçu
I wrote “Chasing Waterfalls” for the December 2014 issue of Miami Living. I was living back in Peru for a bit after leaving Miami, when my dad and I took a trip to the breathtaking Iguaçu National Park, which separates Brazil and Argentina. Afterward, I detailed how and why Miamians should follow suit and think […]
But Make It Fashun
Face masks – face coverings like, say, a homemade cloth mask, or an effectively wrapped scarf, or a cleverly fashuned scarf – will be required while out in public moving forward, #San Francisco, starting tonight. (You do not need to fuck with the N95 masks, so don’t hoard those, OK.) I thought face masks already […]
MIAMI 2.20 Playlist Time
America got sold out again yesterday, but there’s a football game on Sunday, and gosh darn golly by golly if America isn’t gonna just pretend like nothing’s wrong. Again: Best way to get out of an aggro moment? Think of a happier one. And vote – and support Amy McGrath in her quest to rid Kentucky, […]
SFO>MIA
The San Francisco 49ers are headed to Miami to face the Kansas City Chiefs come Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, Feb. 2 – featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the halftime mark – and that means you the Faithful are, too. You’re gonna need a place to sleep in the Magic City, and you’re also gonna […]
