On Air: El Break 95.1FM Phoenix

January 24, 2008 //  by Horsepower & Heels

I will be live on-air with the El Break morning show this Sunday, January 27th on Phoenix, AZ radio station 95.1 Latino Vibe.

The show is produced by a group of hipster college and high school students where they talk about latino culture, politics, entertainment, sexuality, education, and much more. It is the only show of its kind in the state and one of the only ones in the country. The show is a biligual mix– Spanglish: both English & Spanish, with my interview done in English (I’m a little rusty on mi español).

They have big brown muscles, big brown mouths and big brown boobs. But most importantly, they have big brains and huge hearts. The hot, hipster crew from “El Break” is the best shot in the arm of political activism for the local Latino community since Chicanos por la Causa. This is a modern day crop of activistas who have their own rough-around-the edges/cutting-edge AM radio show on Sundays at 95.1 FM Latino Vibe. Luis Avila, Nuvia Enriquez, Laura Suarez, Obed Hurtado and others aren’t afraid to launch a hunger strike to support the DREAM Act one week, and then throw a blow-out rock en español bash the next, with free-flowing spiked horchata. You can catch their show on Sundays.

The show will air from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM mountain time.

Visit the show’s myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/elbreak.

Hispanic Today feature airs

November 28, 2007 //  by Horsepower & Heels

251-714208Remember way back in September when I told you about that TV segment I flew to Orlando to film for Hispanics Today? It’s only been a few months, but it seems like an eternity ago. I had almost forgotten about it, but luckily Debbie reminded me today.

The show airs this week finally. It features interviews with Dennis Lugo, Debbie Denny, and myself. You can see a quick video preview on theHispanics Today website, and find out if the show can be viewed in your town by checking the Hispanics Today TV Air Guide. I unfortunately missed the show here in Huntsville, so if anyone can find an online version or can DVR it and rip it to a DVD for me, I’d be greatly appreciative.

Thanks again to Hispanics Today for the feature & Shellee for a great shoot. Hopefully, I’ll actually get to see it soon.

Show preview is out!

August 24, 2007 //  by Horsepower & Heels

Well, its kinda been hush, hush… but, some of you have wondered why I’ve been carrying around a camera or have been followed by someone with a camera as of late. The reason, is because of THIS…. Horsepower & Heels is going PRIMETIME!

PNN came on board in June to begin producing a web based, first-of-its-kind TV Series about all the interesting struggles and adventures that the Horsepower & Heels team encounters on our journeys. I’m VERY excited! The preview looks great (besides getting used to seeing my goofy behind up close and personal like that… geeesh!), and I can’t wait to see the first episode debut in September!

So take a look…. and tell your friends to tell their friends to take a look too!

Muscle Mustangs Mention

October 27, 2005 //  by Horsepower & Heels

Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords mentionThe CyberStangs column features a mustang or ford related website in each issue. This month, they have chosen StangFreak.com , a site based mostly on the west coast of mustang enthusiasts, with a growing population and new chapters across the country. Earlier this year, I was asked to write a small column on the site, entitled ‘SHE FREAK’. MM & FF did a complete feature on the site, mentioning my column and also my own Horsepower & Heels website!
