Last weekend at the NAHREP conference we got to use our credit card iPhone gadget. It worked great! It is very convenient and easy to use. Many of our friends asked us where we got the credit card processor. It is called Square – you go to their website, install the app and they will mail you the unit. All you need to have is a smart phone. Here’s the website: https://squareup.com/

Good luck with your sales. If you find something better please let us know.

What a terrific weekend! It is always a huge improvement on my ADD/HD mind to focus and let things be.

We all started off to L.A. in two cars. We ate and ate and ate…did I mention we drove too? Lol

We got to our hotel, which my daughter, Consuelito, had arranged (and by the way, Consuelito, what a place you got us – so beautiful and close by – Gracias, Gracias!).

The twins and my husband, David, opted for Adventure Land (or something like that) and I, along with our family friend, Elsa, went to Disneyland with my son-in-law, Papo, my daughter, K.C., and the Queen Bee herself, my grand-daughter, Illy.

We spent 10 hours in Disneyland and what a place that is. I hope I can take my grandchildren to Disneyland again some time soon. It is truly a kid’s fairyland. Thank You, Nana (a.k.a., Illy) for allowing me to use you as my best excuse to go.

We continued eating our way through Southern California and eventually arrived at the NAHREP Convention hotel. Lo and behold, we were in the same hotel as the EMMYS!

Well, the day of my keynote finally arrived and there I was, looking into the eyes of 2,000 awesome NAHREP folks. I was cut down to twenty minutes initially, but the public said ‘No way. Keep Talking!’, so I spoke for another ten minutes courtesy of the NAHREP president and audience members. It was a blast! Yes, I slipped again and said Pinche (oops, I did it again). Aye, I need to reform…

I wish to thank my world class team of Papo, KC, and Elsa. They were ready for the mass of people interested in purchasing my book.

Oh, I must add that Nana took center stage and worked her magic on everyone. She was not shy and pretty much looked at the audience with a look that said, “love me, you know you want to.”

We tried our new credit card gizmo and it worked like magic. We sold and sold and sold.

KC, because she knows her mother well, very calmly did our PR, and kept track of all the business cards. We have quite a bit of leads and folks are even creating events for me to visit. We even had folks that want to help us with our youth programs. Wow. Nice people to say the least.

After my speech, David and the twins went on ahead to Vegas while the rest of us stayed to sell as many books as we could. Every time we thought we were done, some folks would drop in and buy again. What a nice problem to have. We are so grateful to NAHREP for the opportunity.

I just found out that I only have three days open between now and January. We are going to do our best to fit everyone in who needs a keynote.

Now I am off to two weeks of non-stop travel and I am truly excited about it all. It was indeed special to spend time with my famlly because after all, it is family that matters most.

Love, Chelo

BREAKING NEWS…

Consuelo will be featured on HBO’s The Latino List documentary!

The Latino List offers a unique glimpse into the vibrant and burgeoning culture of Hispanic America.

Visit the HBO page for more details. Don’t forget to tune in!

Original article written by Carol Vogel of The New York Times…

Powerful portraits of politicians, musicians, actors and other well-known personalities including a model and a professional golfer are the subject of “TIMOTHY GREENFIELD-SANDERS: THE LATINO LIST,” an exhibition that opens Friday at the Brooklyn Museum. In addition to large-format color photographs, the show will include excerpts from a documentary, also called “The Latino List,” which is scheduled to be shown Sept. 29 on HBO.

Mr. Greenfield-Sanders, a photographer known for his powerful portraits of celebrities and artists that often appear in Vanity Fair, is also wearing the director’s hat for the HBO documentary, which explores what it means to a Latino-American today. Both the exhibition and the documentary are a sequel to “The Black List Project,” a traveling exhibition that was on view at the Brooklyn Museum in 2008 and centered around what it means to be an African-American in contemporary society. “The Black List Project” was a two-part program, also on HBO.

At the museum the “Latino List” will delve into the individual and diverse stories of personalities like the actresses Eva Longoria and America Ferrera as well as other kinds of public figures like Justice Sonia Sotomayor of the Supreme Court and Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey. Through Dec. 11, 200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park, (718) 638-5000, brooklynmuseum.org.

We are excited to announce that we are currently developing our very own EAS STEM ACADEMY.

In this workshop, students will begin by listening to real stories from professionals who at one time in their lives would not have been mentored or aware of the professions they now are successful in.

The intent is to demystify that only certain students can conquer the knowledge required to become engineers, scientists, or technology experts.

Our goal is to go beyond the theoretical realm to that of engaging students in a real-time environment full of hands on activities, inspiration, and practical guidance. All offered by mentors on the ground ready to share their passion and celebration of STEM.

It feels good to return to my first career and blend it with my passion today- preparing tomorrow’s leaders today!
