Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Isabella Pina Piña Interviews Rick Pina As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, our CEO, Isabella Piña, interviewed our COO, Rick Piña, about how his personal journey connects to the film "A Million Miles Away." -- Rick deeply connected with the film, seeing echoes of his life as the son of immigrant parents in Jose Hernandez's transformative journey. -- Rick highlighted the immigrant narrative of hard work and sacrifice, recounting his early years working to help support his family. -- The power of mentorship was a central theme, and Rick discusses key figures in his life and development. -- Rick discussed the challenges of assimilation, drawing parallels between a scene in the movie where Jose "muted" his cultural identity and his own decision to introduce himself as "Rick" instead of "Ricardo." -- The conversation emphasizes the resilience and work ethic of the Hispanic and Latino community. Rick spoke about the often-felt need to work doubly hard to overcome biases and stereotypes. Mr. Piña's candid reflections underscore the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diverse stories within our community. As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, let's champion the voices that enrich our collective narrative.

Predications and Projections: Historical Predications and Projections for 21st Century from the Desk of Mohdudul Huq, (Social Scientist and Urban and Regional Planner) regarding population growth and its impact at end of 21st Century. By the end of 21st century Chinese, Hispanic and Indian population will surpass world’s half of their population. They will control every sphere of human life in economy, employment, power, and position. Moreover, they are sweet talkers, and able control administration, and management wherever they work. They will enjoy 50 percent of world resources.  At that time, I will not be in this world, but my statements and observations remain valid in the history of mankind. Date Sept. 16, 2023.   

Let’s celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. This month is a great reminder of the incredible diversity that enriches our workplaces.   🌍 What Does Hispanic Heritage Mean? Hispanic Heritage encompasses the traditions, languages, and achievements of people from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. It's a vibrant blend of cultures that has left an indelible mark on the United States and the world.   💚💛 Brazilians are not typically considered Hispanic in a cultural or ethnic context. The term "Hispanic" typically refers to people with origins or connections to Spanish-speaking countries, primarily in Latin America and Spain. Brazilians, on the other hand, primarily speak Portuguese, and Brazil was a former colony of Portugal, not Spain. It's important to note that the definitions of these terms can vary, and some individuals may identify as both Hispanic and Brazilian due to their personal backgrounds or experiences. In official demographic and cultural categorizations, though, Brazilians are usually not included as Hispanic.   Let's celebrate the Hispanic Heritage Month by acknowledging and appreciating the diversity that makes our workplaces stronger. Embrace the lessons and perspectives from different heritages; it's the key to a brighter future. 🌟   #hispanicheritagemonth #diversityandinclusion #belongatbasf #wib #LAEG #basf

As we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and this year's theme of Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power and Progress in America, we'll hear from a few teammates about why they feel prosperity, in terms of financial wellbeing, power and progress are necessary to be seen and belong. Today, we hear from Yesenia: "I feel that prosperity, power, and progress are necessary to be seen and belong because despite the obstacles we face on a daily basis, we strive to be and do our best at all times. We are breaking barriers and showing America that we too are capable of helping build prosperity and growth. Our power to come together as a community to help and inspire others has a huge impact on society. That feeling of belonging and acceptance is important for everyone as a human being, as that shapes who we are and who we want to become."

September is Hispanic Heritage Month. The theme is 'Prosperity, Power, and Progress', recognizing the significant achievements of the Hispanic community in economic and political industries. Meet Fernando Bleichmar, AP's CEO, and find out what Hispanic Heritage Month means to him. How has your heritage shaped the person you are today? As I imagine for all of us, my heritage has affected me in all parts of my personality. I was born in Argentina, grew up in Mexico, and then migrated to the US, so I have a lot of the traits of immigrants: optimism, resilience, desire for better outcomes, and adaptability. Also, as a minority CEO, I feel a tremendous responsibility to create a company and a culture that is inclusive and helps advance the careers of all our employees. Does your family have any traditions that are especially important to you? My family is made up of three generations of immigrants (grandparents, parents, myself, and my siblings) so, although we don’t have a certain set of traditions that we hold very strongly to, we do have a melding of a lot of celebrations and traditions. I guess our most valued tradition is that we get together every year for a week to enjoy being with each other. What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you? For me, it's an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate my heritage. How can we continue to raise awareness of Hispanic Heritage Month? I think creating an inclusive environment where we intentionally learn about other cultures and people helps to create awareness – it all comes back to education. Do you have a favorite Hispanic leader/icon? I have always admired Benito Juarez, who was a Mexican president that grew up in poverty and did extraordinary things for the country. More recently, having Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court Justice felt like a really important moment for the Hispanic community. #Hispanicheritage #Hispanicheritagemonth #OneAP

As we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we're encouraging our employees to share their stories! Meet Yilian Leon, Accounting Q: What does Hispanic heritage mean to you and how has your heritage shaped who you are today? A: Hispanic heritage to me is those individuals who are Spanish-speaking or rooted from Spanish- speaking countries. My culture/heritage has instilled in me the value of family, strong work ethic, and personal responsibility. That is why as a professional I am about working as a team and portraying my values in the workplace. Q: What is something you wish others knew about Hispanic heritage? A: While Hispanic people have different histories and cultures, we are united through our shared language of “Spanish”. I also believe for most Hispanics family is the most crucial above all else; that is why we work very hard and stride to learn and better ourselves for our wellbeing and our families. We are not afraid to take up challenges and speak up when help is needed. Q: What advice (personal or professional) would you give to others of Hispanic/Latino heritage? A: The best advice I can give a Hispanic/Latino is to embrace their culture. To never forget their roots and always push forward. That no matter what circumstances come our way we have fighting blood; we will make it through. I would also advise spreading your roots wherever you settle down and becoming a pillar of your community. Q: What are some of the things you love most about your Hispanic heritage? (Or what are you most of proud of regarding your Hispanic heritage?) A: As a Cuban I believe Hispanics are well known for our diverse and flavorful food and I cannot reutter family enough. Wherever there is family, there is good food, music, and lots of love. Something I also love about the Hispanic heritage is that we don’t need to know someone personally to try and make them feel at home. #SomosNWR #HispanicHeritage #AllIn #NWRLiving #NWR #NorthwoodRavin
