Pardon My Spanish! How To Rise Above Hate & Live A Multi-Lingual Life.

#103: According to data released last year by the Census Bureau, 21% of Americans don’t speak English at home.   My guest in this episode is Maribel Lara, you read that right! You get the two-for-one deal! In Spanish, we use the term, TOCAYA for when you have the same name as another person.   And let me tell you, she does the name justice!   I am a fan of Maribel’s calm wisdom and diplomatic view of the world. Ever heard of Gary V? She works with him as a VP of Special Projects at Vayner Media in NYC. Talking to Maribel is both refreshing and awakening. We discussed our experiences as Spanish-speakers in the U.S.A. and the criticism that often follows in public, as well as the importance of rising above hate, broadening our view of the world and living a proud multi-lingual life.
