Your Arizona Conexión starts here
Arizona PBS is now offering the state’s Latino community a new way to connect with important news stories, learning resources, kids programming and other fun opportunities – Conexión. A monthly e-newsletter and webpage, Conexión is led by Horizonte host Catherine Anaya and will also feature information about upcoming Arizona PBS and other community events.
Connecting with Catherine Anaya
In 1980, U.S. President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. Since then, as women continued to make breakthroughs in a wide number of fields, the March observance expanded to a month-long celebration of the significant contributions of women in American history. As the mom of a daughter — and the daughter of a mother who went back to college in her 30s graduating from the same university where I would begin my studies only a month later — National Women’s History Month is for me, a personal reminder of the power and sacrifice of women trailblazers.
As March comes to a close, I encourage you to continue the conversations that have taken place this past month in recognizing the indelible achievements of women. Our community is full of strong, hardworking, brilliant and inspiring women whose contributions should be celebrated not just in one month, but year-round. I’ve had the pleasure of highlighting several of these women in recent episodes of “Horizonte.” If you haven’t seen them yet, please check out my conversations with two of those women: Lisa Gurrero, chief investigative correspondent for “Inside Edition,” and Elizabeth Toledo, executive director of the Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center. Both women actively work to share their own stories of perseverance, while spotlighting the achievements of others and helping to amplify their voices. When one woman succeeds, we all succeed.
‘Horizonte’ examines issues of particular interest to Arizona’s Hispanic community. Your host Catherine Anaya tackles subjects from public policy to education to the arts. ‘Horizonte’ airs on Saturdays at 5:45 p.m. following PBS News Weekend. You can also stream past broadcasts below.
