The Latinx Collective - Issue #40
THIS WEEK'S SIX:
As a Philadelphian born to Puerto Rican parents, Elaine Gonzalez Johnson knew Latinas were at higher risk of things like obesity and diabetes. So when she wanted some running buddies, Elaine put out an open invitation on Facebook for people to join her. Every time she did a run, more women joined her. Now her organization 'Latinas in Motion' has grown into a nonprofit with chapters in 10 states and Puerto Rico. There’s also an annual 5K in Philly, open to all. The next Latinas in Motion 5K fundraiser is Saturday, June 8 in Philadelphia. You can sign up here. Support if you can!

This map and glossary highlight some hallmark regional dishes that make up the United States of Mexican Food — what they are, where they come from, and where you can eat them across the U.S. Like any map of a new world, one should expect it to be out of date in a few years — who knows what dish will conquer America next?
🔥🔥🔥The Spanish-language version of "Queen of the South' has delivered big for Telemundo. The premiere of La Reina del Sur was a big hit, reaching a cumulative audience of almost three million total viewers. It ranked as the No. 1 broadcast television show in the U.S. at 10pm among the coveted demographic of adults 18-49, averaging 1.26 million viewers - more than double Univision’s audience. It even outperformed English-language shows on CBS and ABC in that timeslot and was the No. 1 broadcast television program regardless of language among adults 18-34 (495K) in overall primetime, according to Nielsen. Locally, the Telemundo hit "super series" ranked No.1 regardless of language in New York, Miami, Houston and Dallas among adults 18-49.
