Take Five: Diversity and Hispanics
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
Sixteen percent of our US population is Hispanic and yet, what does this number even mean? We are constantly asked about our race: White, African-American, Asian, and at one point, Hispanic was added to the palette of colors as if being Latino or Hispanic were purely an ethnic or cultural characteristic.
While language is a unifying factor for Hispanics, it is a matter of culture that brings them together. Thirty years ago, Hispanics were depicted as exotic characters with heavy accents and colorful attires. Today, Hispanics have become more immersed in our US culture and you may not even tell there is any accent at all.
Join me in Dr. Gaby’s Take as I discuss diversity and Hispanics: watch my interview with advertising and marketing expert, Maverick Linda Lane Gonzalez. Linda shares her story of how one of her ancestors and one of our US legends bridged the US and Hispanic cultures more than a hundred years ago.

Take Four: Transform Passion into Action
The unemployment rates for the newly graduated class of 2010 was 9.1%. Unemployment rates are even higher in young adults without a college degree. Plus, two thirds of these graduates are in debt.
Most of us go to undergraduate and graduate schools to seek knowledge and a greater opportunity at a professional career. However, experience is a must if we want to stay competitive. The more we can intuitively align our knowledge and experience with a clear vision of our future, the greater potential for success.
Watch Episode 4 of Dr. Gaby’s Take: Make Life Interesting, as I interview Jason Liebross, who went from unemployed newly grad to sports social media entrepreneur. Enjoy!

Take Three: Creativity and Innovation
By: Dr. Gaby Cora
I just watched the latest Mission Impossible and was fascinated to see how easily Brad Bird, its director, created a story that engaged the audience. The unbelievable stunts and visual effects added to an amazing experience masterfully crafted for the viewer. Who would have guessed this was the director’s first action movie?
Creativity and Innovation come just like that. The beginning of the twentieth century brought airplanes, automobiles, and the radio while the end of the twentieth century brought us spaceships, satellites, computers, and amazing gadgets that hint at innovation to come. And yet, the creators’ mastery of combining the latest in technology with the ultimate experience is what truly impacts upon our lives.
Join me in our third episode of Dr. Gaby’s Take on Creativity and Innovation and the exclusive interview with Patrick Meyer, a sought after business thought leader and founder of the Villanova Innovation, Creativity & Entrepreneurship Center.
Kids Stress
Do our kids stress more than we did when we were young?
Just as an example, if you feel swamped with the blessings and curses that instant technology brings to you, what about their situation? They have been born in the technology boom.
In addition, there are great disparities in the world of these children: those born into homes where they are well-taken care of and those who have experienced and lived atrocities that no adult or child should ever experience.
