#Hispz15 - 4 months later and Still Recuperating

This is a recap of  Hispanicize 2015.

 Like all conferences/fiestas there were goodies,swag,promo items given out. 

HOWEVER, no matter how BUENISIMO the regalitos were, 

Babushka is still Babushka and is stating mis sentimientos. 

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Hispanicize 2015- the 4th Hispanicize conference/event BB attends. 

It has been 4 months, 10 days since that week and Babushka still glazes over when she thinks of it.  Quee? 

You think the infamous Cuban exageracion is working here??  JU SO FONII!!! 

Obviously you've never attended a Hispanicize event.  This was Babushka's 4th year going. 

A little sample of the pace-

In that chiquitico, 15 second Instagram video slide show you saw:

Los Pichy Boys, Vive Mejor, Coca Cola, Target, Olay,Orgullosa, Founder Manny Ruiz in one of the many excellent sitdown meals, LatinaMomBlog now rebranded as DiMe Media,Kelley Blue Book, Nespresso Love, Amanda Dufau, Disney World Resorts, Home Depot, Project Enye, Florida Blue, Rebtel, Hasbro,Sprint,Aspira, WellsFargo, AEM, Janie Flores&Erica Chao, McDonalds,Don Francisco, Juana La Iguana and al final a very happy and grateful Babushka who can't believe how Blessed she's been to have done so many things thanks to blogging.

BB's said it before and will forever say and be grateful to the Hispanicize team,especially to Manny Ruiz for inviting me to BB's first blogger event in 2012.  Yes, it's been 3 years, 4 Hispanicizes, and 15 posts about it- y los que me faltan!!  The first on camera video for Babushka-

The Spanglish esta igual, but BB hopes she's gotten a little bit better in front of the camera.

Ok Beautifuls, let the Vieja dream Si?
jehe  At the very least estoy less stressed about it.

Also less stressed about the Hispanicize 2016 event- even though this one runs 5 days too. 

From April 4 - 8 Miami will be host to "the largest annual event for Latino trendsetters and newsmakers in journalism, blogging, marketing, entertainment and tech entrepreneurship." For the next Hispanicize Sweetie will be accompanying me since he would have been a blogger for over a year.  Can you imagine my laidback Sweetie in the Den of Dizzying Delicias that is Hispanicize?  Don't think there's enough cafe Cubano to bring him up to speed.  Pero that's ok with BB.  This being my 5th Hispanicize, it'll be like visiting distant relatives, catching up on their stories and making some new ones with our actividades. Live, Learn, & Lovely Loot. Si, that about sums up Hispanicize.

 Oh, and por supuesto, es BUENISIMO!!

P.S.  There were many more sponsors,sessions & actividades, pero for 15 seconds y 5 dias de nonstop going, creo que pa' esto post estamos bien.  As my eyes start losing their glazed look, tal vez vendran mas... pa' que vean  https://youtu.be/TVG9vBmpJJc


P.P.S. And for those curious on prior Hispanicize posts or just want to reminisce with BB-

Christmas Far From Home, but close to the Heart. @Rebtel #InternationalCalls

Babushka received no monetary compensation for this post, however the gana to post and the opinions of this post are 110% BB.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!

Those of you who've been reading BB's posts for awhile know politics or being political isn't what Babushka's all about. Quee??  Ok si, JU SO FONII, ever proud to say CubanAmerican, but not usually spouting my views. Pero... Babushka IS about family, and most of them remember the time when Christmas was no longer allowed to be celebrated openly on the island.  Since 1969. Thankfully most of BB's family were already in the US, but no doubt it was very rough for those still there. Especially not being able to speak to those they missed.

The 30 years of missed celebrations and conversations was not lost on Rebtel,    From their press release:

"Rebtel commemorates those families who did not celebrate that first Christmas, and celebrates the Cuban families that today can enjoy this important date without losing the traditions and culture of the island. As part of this celebration, Rebtel called five people who lived in Cuba during 1969 and personally experienced the silence of that first Christmas to narrate their personal Christmas story. Their stories are available at www.rebtel.com/lostchristmasstory "
