In an hour that went much too quickly, Esmie Cuevas (Vida Bella Emsemble/Ponce at Nite), Natalie Bermeo (Vida Bella Emsemble/Las Caras Linda) and Monica (Las Caras Linda) joined Harv Roman to discuss not only their latest projects, but also their views on a variety of topics of concern to their communities. They were all joined by callers, including Jose of Ponce at Nite, Evelyn of the Vida Bella Emsemble, Sandra, also of the Vida Bella Emsemble and Moises, a former Club Kid, now parent who had some views to discuss about youth and social networking. A transcript here would be a daunting task, so clickety click, listen and please provide your feedback. It was such a dynamic conversation that the discussion continued for another hour after the show. Segments of which will be posted here soon.
