New Jersey officials take part in economic trade mission to Mexico

On this edition of Tiempo, we learn more about a recent state-led international trade mission to Mexico by officials in New Jersey. Gov. Phil Murphy alongside the statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the nonprofit Choose New Jersey recently spent a three-day, business-oriented trip to Mexico. The mission focused on deepening economic, educational and cultural partnerships between the Garden State and Mexico. There are more than 2 million Latinos who live in New Jersey, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Joining us to discuss the trip are Carlos Medina from the statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey, and Mariana Diaz Nagore, head consul from the consulate of Mexico in New Brunswick. Also ahead, a return visit to the show by a Latina educator born and raised in the South Bronx. La Doctora Elaine Ruiz Lopez founded a charter school in the Bronx. She also wrote a book about the struggles and challenges she faced to open that school. The book has received lots of recognition and several prestigious awards. We catch up with Dr. Ruiz Lopez about her book coming up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
