I Am Latino...Ask Me: Americanos ask about the power of the Chancleta...

I Am Latino...Ask Me is a new weekly syndicated column written by Sofrito For Your Soul founder, George "Urban Jibaro" Torres. The column was created to answer questions that mainstream America has about Latinos and our culture. A departure from the routine of Sofrito For Your Soul, I Am Latino...Ask Me is driven by the readers desire to get answers to those burning questions that they have but have no one to ask. There are plans to incorporate the column into Urban Jibaro's Radio Capicu show on Blog Talk Radio. Do you have a question for the Urban Jibaro? Send your questions to SofritoSubmissions@gmail.com Read more »
