Look out DC, Que Pa' Ya Va BB!! LATISM'15



"LATISM15 brings together the top leaders and influencers in the space.  Our goal is to share best practices,  reach Latino(a)s in the digital space, and  build the pipeline of  tech innovators.  Together we are igniting Latino(a)s to drive the innovation economy."

If you could lobby in DC what cause would it be? Cual de los siguientes son especiales pa' ti?  Education,Health,Technology,Civic Engagement,Diversity & Inclusion,Business, and National Policy are the starred topics. LATISM15 proposes to instruct top Latino Influencers on how to better organize and project their passions and beliefs and then introduce them to other influencers and lawmakers who can further their causes. This year Babushka was invited to attend as a Top Latina Influencer because of her #StopTheStigma campaign, a campaign hoping to address and eradicate the imensa ignorancia and taboo in our community when it comes to Mental illness. Like BB, influencers on all the above topics will attend to be instructed and guided.

This nation's capitol, our nation's capitol will be the school for over 50 Latino Influencers and a group of hispanic students for the Latino Youth Summit. The goal is to learn,share, and support each other as we strive to have our issues- LATINO issues focused on. LATISM is a group of Latinos who have worked and lobbied for our rights,advancements and inclusion for years. Babushka is humbled and honored to have been chosen, proving that one is never too old to dream and make a difference.

Que cambio would you like to see, and more importante- what are you doing to make it un realidad?

Warriors in Pink- Pa' lante con La Pelea ! A Giveaway and Gracias.




HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

Como saben, BB is part of Una Familia Pa' Ford, but what you may not know is how many ways Ford helps the familia of (wo)man too.  For over 20 years Ford has donated 100% of the net proceeds of their Warriors in Pink program to help against the Breast Cancer Battle. 

"From raising funds through our Warriors in Pink apparel, to raising awareness through unique media content, to giving breast cancer patients and survivors more good days – we are always looking for ways to help people go further. - See more at: http://www.warriorsinpink.ford.com/?fmccmp=150428-bca-wipmoregooddays#sthash.wVjGuamc.dpuf "


This is a personal twofer post for Babushka.  When I approached the Ford PR company and asked for items for a giveaway, they knew of my mother's passing from cancer (the first one she had was breast cancer) and graciously gave me these items, to share them and the message with my Beautifuls.



Mi madre would have loved these items. The colors, the fashion, vibrancy and life asserting hues are exactly the message behind Warriors In Pink. And now you can help share in the celebration of life and the lucha of surviving.  There will be 3 winners of the following:

TShirt
Tie
Bandana
Pashmina style scarf/wrap
Ford Tote


BB modeling el  Pashmina style scarf y el Bello Fern Senra of Moore Communications 
who facilitated the wonderful giveaway. 





Life affirming, message carrying, these items make statements on all types of levels.

Buena Suerte Beautifuls!

BB2U


And if you think this is the only way place Warriors in Pink estan, JU SO FONII!!!



P.S.  Ford has pensa'o en todo.

    HOY para el dia de Mañana. @FloridaPrepaid #StartingIsBelieving

    A sponsored post, but 100% verdad, heartfelt, sincere, and Babushka's. 
    Gracias to Fl Prepaid College Fund and Bloggin' Mamas for picking BB for this campaign.


    Florida College Prepaid Plan #StartingIsBelieving



    HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

    Increible pero cierto, My Eldest, Cristyl's Corazon at her college graduation. Felizmente BB had the foresight to matricular The Trio into the Florida College Prepaid program.  A member from the start, Babushka is so thankful she was able to- and still continues to be part of this great program. It's been more than 25 years andando. More than 1.6 million Prepaid Plans have been purchased and nearly 350,000 students have attended college using their Prepaid Plan. My Little One is currently using the plan BB had set up for her at birth, and my two eldest nietos have been set up with the plan also.  



    Right now is open enrollment and the hora perfecto pa' empesar.  Now there are more options than when The Trio first started, and there's more help to choose which plans are better for your familia and your budget.  

    "1-Year Florida University Plan:
    o   Now there is a more affordable way to save for State University credit hours. Introducing the
    new 1-Year Florida University Plan
    o   You can purchase one year, or 30 credit hours, at a time according to your budget and
    timeline, without feeling the pressure of having to buy all four years at once
    o   The plan also allows multiple purchasers to buy a plan for the same child. So now you can
    team up with other family members to help pay for your child’s higher education
     For example, let Grandma and Grandpa buy one year and you purchase another. A
    child can have up to four 1-Year Florida University Plans
    -                                                                                                               
    2-Year Florida College Plan
    o   Set your child up with a practical, affordable path to entering his/her chosen career with an
    associate’s degree or trade certification
    o   Give your child the advantage over those with only a high school diploma
    o   Like all of our plans, every cent of the value of this plan can be applied at any university or
    college nationwide
    -                                                                                                                
    4-Year Florida College Plan
    o   There are 28 Florida colleges and they’ve expanded their capabilities far beyond the two-year
    programs. In fact, most now offer four-year bachelor’s degree programs in growth industries
    like nursing and teaching, and continue to grow their degree programs year after year.
    o   And since they’re typically less expensive than a university education, the 4-Year Florida
    College Plan provides a practical, affordable path to a bachelor’s degree
    o   Like all of our plans, every cent of the value of this plan can be applied at any university or
    college nationwide
    -                                                                                                               
    2+2 Florida College Plan
    o   Your child can receive a degree from one of Florida’s prestigious state universities for less than
    a typical four-year university degree
    o   By starting your child off at one of the state’s 28 Florida colleges, you’ll save money on lower-
    level courses before transferring to a State University to finish off their degree
    o   Students with this plan are guaranteed admission to a state university once they’ve earned
    their associate’s degree at a Florida college
    -                                                                                                             
    4-Year Florida University Plan
    o   This Plan will start your child off at one of Florida’s 12 prestigious state universities and see
    them through their four-year journey.
    o   If your child decides to start at a college (which are typically less expensive), the unused funds
    from this Plan can be applied to a post-secondary degree or you can get the remaining money
    back
    o   Like all of our plans, this isn’t just restricted to Florida schools; the amount covered by your
    Prepaid Plan can be used at schools nationwide."

    Beautifuls, they ain't just whislin' La Guantanamera with these plans. Babushka's girls have used it to finish their education, and MAC will be using the unused portion of monies paid to apply it toward's his son's education. Y ahora tambien, they have something they call "Interactive Conversation" where they will help you learn more about the Prepaid Plans and the 529 Savings Plan. Es Cutisimo Y Buenisimo!! Go ahead and look into it. You AND your hijos will be glad you did, porque they really do grow up before you are ready.


    Para mas informacion-  


    Y si creen that this is the last BB will speak of Florida College Prepaid- JU SO FONII!!!

    Babushka almost begged to be a Mamabassador for the program, that's how useful it has been for The Trio, and how grateful we are to have had this option available to us. 
     Hopefully The Grands will continue the tradition.  

    Who's future will you be planning for??
