After a Sunday runoff election, Francia Márquez will become the first Black vice president of Colombia. Márquez ran alongside Gustavo Petro.

According to Axios, the nation has a large Afro Colombian population, which has been marginalized by decades-old conflict across the country. In their history, Afro Colombians have been “are overrepresented in the numbers of forcibly displaced people and victims of violence.” One in 10 Colombians identify as Black, but misrepresentation could have hindered that number due to a census undercount. In addition, discrimination has discouraged citizens from identifying as Black.

Márquez is a lawyer and activity. In her career, she has been awarded the Goldman Prize for her work in environmentalism. Márquez has risen to the role of vice-president, overcoming local poverty, as opposed to other presidents who received education in other locations.

Márquez stated she ran for office “because our governments have turned their backs on the people, and on justice and on peace.”

Kickin It 0 21 screenshot

The first-ever Kickin’ It presented by Nike segment, produced in Spanish and featuring Atlanta Braves player Ronald Acua Jr. has been released by MLB Network.

Kickin’ It, which debuted in June, showcases an MLB player talking about their in-game footwear, favorite shoes as a kid, and what they’d like to wear in the future. Some of the notable releases included St. Louis Cardinals’ Nolan Arenado, Chicago Cubs’ Wilson Contreras, and Milwaukee Brewers’ Christian Yelich.

In this episode, Acua Jr. highlights the sneaker he chose for the segment:

 “These are the shoes I designed for home club. Then I put the yellow, blue, and red. The yellow is more noticeable because I have always liked to stick out. It also combines and makes reference to the flag of Venezuela. Here are the stars of Venezuela. You can see here are palms. …It makes me feel like part of my home there in La Sabana, how I am from the coast, from the beach. Over here you can see the date of my birth with my name, December 18, 1997. I have always liked since I was a child, never forget where I am from. I always put my country on top. I think that was one of the biggest motivations why this shoe is yellow. It’s a shoe that mostly stands out among the others, because if you look at the team, our uniform hardly has yellow. I make them match with a number of things I wear during the game.”

In the new visual, SadBoy, Kap G, and YBE cruises through the signature Los Angeles’ palm trees in a drop-top lowrider — headed to the high-profile house party.

Suenos Festival proved over its first weekend that it has the potential to become a Chicago tradition and a premier destination for Latin talent for years to come.

The final day of the first-ever Suenos featured dazzling stars, gorgeous weather, and impeccable moods, with twelve hours of nonstop Latin and Reggaeton music. J Balvin closed up the night with a fantastic performance, making the most of his one and only appearance in the United States in 2022. Wisin Y Yandel, performing as part of their last tour (“La ltima Misión”), brought down the house with hits from their decades-long career. Ascendant superstars like Jhayco and Sech exhibited their talent and musicianship, Fuerza Regida provided regional Mexican flair, budding stars like Lyanno and La Gabi illustrated why they were next up, and Chicago-based DJ Miriam opened the event for her hometown. DJ Fredy Fresco, the official Sueos DJ, spun hits from all eras of Reggaeton between shows, bringing the audience together under the flag of Perreo.

Suenos Music Festival, located in Grant Park in the center of downtown Chicago, is celebrating the success of its inaugural event and looking forward to many more fantastic years in the Windy City, which has one of the largest Hispanic populations in the country.
