I was informed that my blog is an official nominee for the Tecla Awards 2015! This is the first time these awards will be given out; the finalists will be announced next week and then the winners will be announced at the Gala on the first day of Hispanicize 2015 in Miami next month! I don’t know if I will be a finalist but being nominated for one feels pretty awesome!

“Named after the Spanish-language word for an individual key on a keyboard, the Tecla Awards recognizes excellence in Latino blogging, micro-blogging and social media and digital marketing. The purpose of the Tecla Awards is to showcase the increasingly sophisticated and impressive work that Latino bloggers, micro-bloggers, journalists, brands and agencies are executing in the digital multicultural space.
The first annual Tecla Awards will be held on Monday, March 16, 2015 at Hispanicize 2015 Week in Miami, Florida and will be held annually at Hispanicize, the largest U.S. Hispanic marketing, media and entertainment industries event in the nation.

That same day I got more great news! I was informed that I had been chosen as one of the bloggers that would get their Full VIP Access Badge for the week long event sponsored by the Disney Parks!!!! Needless to say, I’m beyond ecstatic!!! The event will be held in Miami March 16-20 and thanks to the Disney Parks, I will be there learning as much as I can to incorporate it into my blogging life!!! It’s my first time attending an event of this magnitude and of this importance which has me a little nervous but my excitement overcomes my nervousness. I plan to recap everything that I will be doing that week so you guys can follow along on the journey!
