  PRSUN Radio chats with Urban Jibaro George Torres

  My upcoming guest on PRSUN Radio is Urban Jibaro George Torres who is known right here on BTR for his show called Radio Capicu. George is my guest at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, at www.blogtalkradio.com/prsunradio.
  
  

  Here's his bio:
  
  

  George Torres aka The Urban Jibaro is an social media consultant, cultural activist, radio personality and founder of cultural online magazine SofritoForYourSoul.com. Having been born & raised between Brooklyn & Bayamon, he was reared with traditional Puerto Rican values and incorporated that with what he learned in the streets of East New York. This mixture of elements in his life earned him the nickname "Urban Jibaro" that former Young Lord and Community Leader, the late Richie Perez bestowed on him.

  George has over 12 years experience marketing to the urban Latino demographic on the internet. His current projects include Capicu Poetry, a monthly open mic poetry / cultural showcase in Williamsburg Brooklyn he founded with Urban Legend PaPo Swiggity from Espacio Latino. There is also the first Latino radio show on Blog Talk Radio called Radio Capicu that he co-hosts with La Chica Que Pica. It is through this work that he hopes to continue to empower the community to promote and document the evolution of Latino culture in order to help second and third generation Latinos reconnect with lost elements of a cultural legacy they rightfully own.

  PRSUN Radio chats with Alexandra Roman Hernandez

  PRSUN Radio chats with novelist Alexandra Román Hernández at 9 p.m. Sept. 23, a Wednesday.
  
  Here's her bio:
   
  Mother, wife, friend, writer; these words describe the author of the fantasy / adventure novel “El Valle de la Inspiración”, Alexandra Román Hernández. A graduate from the University of Puerto Rico (Cayey Campus) with a BA in natural sciences, she becomes home executive, as she likes to call the title housewife, after the birth of her firstborn, and is in this momentous time in her life that she gives free rein to her imagination. “Las letras” and the love for fiction, becomes her passion. Her English stories, such as "The Beginning", "The Door in front of me", "Journey to the island of ancestors" and the poem "The world is a stage", find a home on the Australian website
  Soul Food Cafe. In July 2006, the online magazines True Poets Magazine chooses her poem "Maybe ". 
   
              Hernandez not only explores these literary genres, she premieres as an essayist with "Being Latina and a Puerto Rican," published by "Mija Magazine", the Chicago newspaper "La Prensa" and Boricua.com. Similarly enters the theater with her works "The warrior of the Lord" and "The Lady of Israel: the story of Judith", the latter being adapted from the book of the Old Testament. Of course children's stories began to be an integral part of her daily life as a mother, and write two children's stories, still unpublished, "Princess Saly and the Witch Bruya" and "Menace to Society”. Her last
  publication was in the magazine "Better Homes and Gardens: Garden Ideas and Outdoor Living" with her article "You say Rosmery, I say Romero”. 
   
               On December, 7 1977, Bayamon became her birthplace, but her home has always been at “La ciudad llanera”, Toa Baja. From a young age Alexandra Román felt an attraction towards the written word, and became a voracious reader. That where she
  found her inspiration, especially in the fantasy and fiction books. It is in her youth that
  she makes her first attempts at literature with simple verses and poems; it is through
  them that she realizes that narrative was the way to go. 
   
                She’s currently working on her weblog a story of fantasy: "Argia, light and shadow".  In her spare time, if she’s not having fun with her family, she’s dedicated to
  Jupes, a Catholic youth group, with whom she has worked for approximately fifteen
  years.
