Three years ago, VivirLatino.com went live and the world hasn’t been the same since.
Ok so maybe I exaggerate and by the world only mean the blogosphere, pero three years ago when I started as an editor here, I knew this would be a wonderful site and project and my expectations continue to be met.
We’ve had amazing editors, guest editors, special coverage of events as fluffy as the Latin Grammy Awards to serious events like debates and major political conventions. We’ve been to amazing concerts and conferences and gotten to chill with amazing writers and musicians and their talent. We’ve moved beyond this space to work in coalition for things we believe in like justice.
Pero the one thing that sets us apart and continues to set us apart for the rest of the Latino blogosphere, is our realness. We’re not trying to be snarky for the sake of being hipster cool. We’re not trying to make people comfortable. We’re not making up our voices. Jennifer, La Macha, and I somos quienes somos with our silly pop culture addictions and our real struggles.
Gracias to you, VivirLatino audience for sticking with us through changes and for growing with us. Pa’lante siempre (and have a piece of cake).

Catalina, actually this year we will not be attending the Latin Grammy awards. As an independent blog, the expense outweighs the benefit so we will watch it from the comfort our camitas. Pero send us an email at info at vivirlatino dot com if you need specific advice or want to know about my experiences
