Join me tonight, with my co-hosts Gottlieb and Ed_Encho for another Friday Evening WWL Radio Show.
Tonight after a brief look at Headline News, we will be interviewing Nezua, proprietor of The Unapologetic Mexican/El Machete de mi Gente blog, and design company XOLAGRAFIX. His writing is featured on Huffpo, The Media Consortium, Immigration Newsladder, dKos, and of course, Twitter.
We are so very honored to have him!
The topic will be immigration reform, and the inevitable fallout for all of the Hispanic community as the Economy collapses. (or wherever it goes of its own accord, we are artistes after all)
Please call with any questions you may have, or respectful commentary.
The call in number is 646-929-1264
The live chat link will be active after 5:30-ish.
