| Blue Ridge Public Radio anchor Jose Sandoval’s daily Spanish-language broadcasts have provided the small but growing Latino community in Western North Carolina an essential lifeline after Hurricane Helene ripped through the area nearly six weeks ago. He has provided information about public services and worked to dispel misinformation. Helene’s winds and floodwaters knocked out power, wi-fi and cell service, making it hard to provide people the news resources they need. And though uncertain if those impacted by the storm could even tune in, Sandoval did not waver in his mission.
Almost four years ago, rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol and as a shock to many, some 15% of those federally charged for the violent day had military ties. This is why, for many who served, this election marked a time to encourage civic participation and push back on conspiracy theories. NPR’s Odette Yousef and Quil Lawrence talked with veterans and community leaders who might have different political views but all want a peaceful transfer of power when the president-elect takes over the White House. Listen to what they have to say about moving forward after the Jan. 6 attack.
Margarita Womack is the founder of MasPanadas, a frozen empanada brand, and she has a mission to show the richness and diversity of Latin American food. The popular comfort food is a year-round delicacy in the U.S., but it has also become a tradition during the fall, Womack says, starting with Hispanic Heritage Month and the holidays thereafter. The food has been around for centuries, with food historian and writer Sandra Gutierrez saying Spaniards introduced empanadas to Latin America in 1492. The recipe has continued to evolve as different countries and cultures tweaked them. Womack says she dreams of expanding to producing breakfast and sweet empanadas in the future. |
