“While the world economy continues to face multiple headwinds, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, lingering pandemic effects and inflationary pressures, many trade professionals remain bullish about the prospect of more companies nearshoring operations to Mexico over the next decade.

Here, we sat down with some members of SHPE’s leadership team to learn more about how the group helps develop leadership skills, builds a sense of belonging, and allows them to engage more with their campus…”
“…The views of Black and Hispanic adults on this question are especially notable because these Americans were underrepresented in clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccines.

“…When Gonzales was doing research for his dissertation, he had a “chilling moment,” he told South Texas College in 2020. As he was reading an account from 1929 denouncing a sheriff for his involvement in a massacre, it included a list of people who had been killed — and he found the names of his great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather.
Growing up, he said in the interview, he had heard from his parents about the killings but did not know the term “La Matanza,” or the massacre, which specifically refers to a period in 1915 when several hundred Mexicans and Mexicans Americans were killed in the Lower Rio Grande Valley…”

“Mexico is a beer-loving country, but it was relatively late to the craft beer scene, until now.
Cerveza Mexico 2022 recently wrapped up in Mexico City.
The three-day celebration of craft beer which drew over 16,000 attendees to the World Trade Center in late October culminated with the announcement of the winners of the Cerveza Cup 2022, a prize which recognizes the best in Mexican craft beer.
47 international judges evaluated some 709 beers from a total of 136 breweries across Mexico, with the beers classified in 43 categories. And three craft breweries were awarded.

“I know firsthand what it feels like to have my culture and history tacked on to the end of a social studies unit.
My Asian American heritage – along with African American, Latinx and Indigenous backgrounds – still remains undervalued and grossly underrepresented in education. These histories are misrepresented at best and actively banned at worst.
At UCLA, we’re fortunate to be a part of an institution that continues to progress toward a more diverse student body, but it’s not immediately apparent why we need to continue our shared journey of inclusivity. It’s crucial for all students to feel represented in and out of the classroom and to have the opportunity to learn more about each other in the process…”
‘Taking advantage of high-quality work at low prices has been a privilege reserved just to the big corporations until now thanks to this innovative and adventurous company that proposes a simple but effective solution similar to the one big corporations have found. Many factories have optimized their profits since many years ago by moving their operations to other countries with highly qualified workers and lower costs of living. Some of the most common industries that have adopted this model are maquiladoras, customer service and software development.
Cliknow knows it’s time to expand the catalog of services Mexico can export to the world. “Mexicans, besides being hard workers, are highly talented, smart, and eager to grow and to create better opportunities for themselves and their people” says Cesar Silva, director of Cliknow Marketing n’Stuff…”
