Las Comadres Para Las Americas Congratulates the following Comadres on a job well done! 

 



Itiel Adams (TX) –In 2020 was the Latin Marketing Media Strategist for the Democratic National Convention (DNC). DNC candidate (President J Biden) went on to win the presidency with the Latin people vote, without needing to win the traditional “swing” states.

 Vibiana Aparicio-Chamberlin (CA) –My poetry-art book, CHICANA ON FIRE: Ignited by the 1970s East L.A. Chicano Protest Movement won awards for Poetry and for best video presentation of poems. My granddaughter Ava Chamberlin won a silver award for her video filming, directing and editing of my reading and my presentation of my antiwar poems and paintings. The event was sponsored by the International Latino Book Awards this past October 2023. What an honor!

In December, I was interviewed by a reporter in the Brooklyn local newspaper Canarsie Courier.  The interview appeared on January 4th, titled “Local Author Shares Her Family’s Most Loved Puerto Rican Recipes.” And on January 5th, I was one of the Honorary Madrinas at the 47th Annual Three Kings Day Parade at El Museo del Barrio in NYC.  I also received a Comptroller of the City of NY Certificate of Recognition, along with a glass trophy from El Museo.

We are two sisters born and raised in Mexico to our Mexican mother and American father. After our father passed away, we discovered that he was super famous and a pioneer in the beauty, modeling, and advertising industries. This is American history told by two Latinas through the eyes of their father.  Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMerchantofVenus.
