Please join me in welcoming a new voice -- and language -- to the Opportunity Zone.
Quixtar's Bilingual Editor Paula Otero has joined the Zone with the new blog Voces Latinas. This is the first Spanish-language blog we've launched.
In her own words, and for those not fluent in Spanish I'm providing the English translation, here's how Paula describes the blog:
"I will share with you themes that deal with the experience of entering this country being of Latin American origin. Leaving behind everything you know and love to come in search of a better life for ourselves and our family. In the course of this change we find new challenges but also many opportunities, Latin Voices will give shape to our experiences."
We're hoping this new blog brings insights and new voices to the Opportunity Zone as IBOs and others share their experiences, hopes and challenges at Voces Latinas.

About Beth Dornan
I’ve been writing professionally (published) since I was 14, which means I’ve now logged 30+ years as a writer. I grew up in Northwest Indiana (“the region” to those familiar with the greater Chicago area), went to journalism school at Indiana University and was a reporter before going into PR. Realized I didn’t have the heart or stomach for journalism. I worked at a Grand Rapids PR agency founded by two former Amway Public Relations alums before leaving them to join Amway Public Relations in March 1989. I hopped over to Quixtar shortly after its launch in 1999. I’ve been married since 1992 to my college sweetheart and am Mom to two girls.
