Last night’s event marked the exciting launch of Commissioner-elect Richard D. Lara campaign, and it was truly a remarkable occasion! We had the privilege of gaining deeper insight into his core values, his strong family foundation, and his visionary plans for the future of Coral Gables. It was an inspiring and enlightening experience. I also had the honor of spending time with my dear friend, Liliam Lopez, Dr. (h.c.), President of the Hispanic Chamber, whose leadership in our community continues to make a profound impact. It’s always a privilege to connect with such a passionate advocate for positive change. I am incredibly proud to support Richard D. Lara as the next Commissioner of Coral Gables. I look forward to the change he will bring to The City Beautiful!

The holidays continue with Three Kings Day on January 6! This holiday celebrates the arrival of the three kings—Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar—in Bethlehem. It is a tradition observed in some Latino communities across the United States, in places like Puerto Rico and Spain, and numerous countries across Latin America. For instance, in Puerto Rico and Mexico, and Puerto Rican and Mexican communities across the U.S., children place boxes of hay and bowls of water out for the kings’ horses, or camels, the night before, and, in exchange, they receive gifts from the Three Kings when they wake up. Other traditions in Mexican American communities include drinking hot chocolate and eating La Rosca de Reyes (The Three Kings wreath). Did you know that figurines of baby Jesus are hidden in the wreaths, and that those who get the slice with the figurine offer a tamalada (tamal-making party) on February 2nd? Although the tradition began in medieval Europe, where the kings are shown riding camels, Puerto Rican images like this one generally show them riding horses. This sculpture of the Three Kings is in the Teodoro Vidal Collections at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Esta festividad celebra la llegada de los tres reyes magos, Baltasar, Melchor y Gaspar, a Belén. Es una tradición que se celebra en algunas comunidades latinas de los Estados Unidos, en lugares como Puerto Rico y España, y en numerosos países de América Latina. Por ejemplo, en Puerto Rico y México, y en las comunidades puertorriqueñas y mexicanas de los Estados Unidos, niños y niñas colocan cajas de heno y cuencos de agua para los caballos, o camellos, de los reyes la noche anterior y, a cambio, reciben regalos de los Reyes Magos cuando se despiertan. Otras tradiciones en las comunidades mexicano-estadounidenses incluyen beber chocolate caliente y comer la Rosca de Reyes. ¿Sabías que en las roscas esconden figurines del niño Jesús y quienes reciben la rebanada con la figura deben ofrecer una tamalada el 2 de febrero? Aunque la tradición comenzó en Europa medieval, donde los reyes están montados en camellos, las imágenes puertorriqueñas como ésta, generalmente los muestran montados a caballo. Esta escultura de los Reyes Magos se encuentra en las colecciones Teodoro Vidal del Museo Smithsonian de Arte Americano.

Sharing for reach and awareness. Jesús’ disappearance at the hands of Maduro’s ruthless dictatorship is unfortunately not an isolated incident. It is the harsh reality promising, smart, committed Venezuelan youth face every day. An 2023 Amnesty International report, indicates that according to the nonprofit Foro Penal between 2014 and 2023 there have been at least 15,700 unlawful detentions, many of which are forced dissapareances, such as Jesus’. I stand in solidarity with the families of those unlawfully detained, forcefully disappeared, violated in their freedom or tortured in any way by the Maduro regime, including Jesus and his family. According to the United Nations, “the crime of enforced disappearance entails the violation of multiple human rights, they said (…) [including] the right to recognition as a person before the law, the right to liberty and security, and the right to be free from torture.” FREE Jesús Armas Monasterios! #PoliticalPrisioners #FreedomNow #FreeVenezuela
