I was fortunate enough to attend Mi Patria first taping for TIEMPO with Joe Torres, a series featured on ABC.

Mi Patria - an organization my family is proudly a part of - was co-founded by veterans and is dedicated to improving life in underserved and displaced communities in Puerto Rico through housing, emergency response, and sustainability.

Being inside the studio for the filming process, interacting with Joe Torres, and witnessing the craft behind news-coverage journalism was an inspiring experience-especially as the segment focused on the work Mi Patria is doing to combat displacement in the lead-up to the 2024 NYC Puerto Rican Day Parade.
