This episode of Tamarindo is a partnership with the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC), an organization dedicated to making a cultural home for the diverse identities that shape the community. October 3rd marked Latina Equal Pay day, a day of action that calls attention to the Latina wage gap. Our friends at the NHCC invited Tamarindo to lead a conversation about how we can raise the pay for Latinas. We had a fantastic panel of Latina changemakers: Melanie Fontes Rainer who serves as the Director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services where she leads the Department's enforcement of federal civil rights and privacy laws and directs related policy and strategic initiatives. Stephanie Rodriguez who is the Secretary for the New Mexico Higher Education Department. Pola Lopez, a New Mexico-born, self-taught artist with a rich background in the Southwestern cultural heritage. She has been a prominent figure in the New Mexico art scene. Even though October 3rd is behind us, the work to bring pay equity for Latinas is ongoing. This powerful conversation shows some of the innovative ways that Latinas are leading the way for pay equity.

On this Mother's Day, we are blessed to honor our mothers who will be there in attendance. We also get excited about calling our moms who aren't nearby. The extra blessing some of us enjoyed was an example of faith first seen in our mothers. Of course, we know that isn't everyone's story. That is why it is so important for the moms of NHCC to recognize that they have an extra responsibility to be an example of faith to the younger Christians in our church. ————— Obviously, faith is not simply limited to the moms of the church, but on this Sunday, please remember as we honor our moms, we collectively worship the Father for He is certainly worthy of our praise. ————— Join us this Sunday as Frank shares a message that honors the faith of our mothers, but more importantly, worships that one in whom they have their faith.

Traveling to some remote parts of Northern New Mexico can feel a little like traveling back in time. There's the slower, rural lifestyle and lack of cell reception, for starters, but in some small pockets of rural communities, people still speak a 17th-century dialect of Spanish. Encounter Culture host Emily Withnall speaks with National Hispanic Cultural Center's executive director, Zack Quintero, archivist Robin Moses, and Librarian Amy Padilla about their work to collect and preserve this ancient Spanish dialect before it disappears—which they say could happen in just fifteen years. Though the mountainous region of Northern New Mexico once helped to preserve this unique dialect, greater connectivity and the forces of assimilation have resulted in fewer native speakers. As Zack, Robin, and Amy reveal, they hope to preserve New Mexican Spanish as a part of their work with NHCC, but their investment in the project is personal, too.

Last month, the Nashville Health Care Council (NHCC) launched its inaugural Nashville Healthcare Sessions Conference. The five-day event convened industry leaders from across the country for two days of collaborative panels, in-depth discussions, interdisciplinary problem-solving and relationship-building, followed by over 30 associated events and gatherings. With a focus on innovation, the conference was a seedbed for new ideas from every sector of the industry. It also represented the spirit of collaboration and unified focus necessary to navigate healthcare's environment of ongoing change, challenge and pressure. While many of those challenges are borne out of silos and technological lagging, the Nashville Healthcare Sessions Conference facilitated connection and innovation. To review everything that took place at Sessions and unpack what comes next for the industry, Apryl Childs-Potter, NHCC president, joined the High Stakes Podcast. In this conversation, she offers her perspective on the transforming healthcare industry, as well as Nashville's role in the middle of it all. Key Insights: — In an industry with seemingly 1,000 daily headlines, AI is healthcare's biggest news. Its uses, merits and ethics are being discussed in every hospital board room and executive suite across the nation. That's because it's no longer just a looming possibility…it's already being implemented at scale by health systems. — Historically, healthcare has been years behind in technology integration, but adoption is happening quicker than ever before. Tools are more sophisticated and user-friendly, allowing providers to accelerate at the pace of technological innovation. — Healthcare is at a “watershed moment.” From the changing models of care delivery to value-based care to new technologies, factors are in play that have been discussed in theory for years. Now, these developments are accelerating, in large part because of creative partnerships and that spirit of collaboration among friends and putative rivals alike. — In the midst of this change, Nashville has an opportunity to elevate as healthcare's capital. The city breeds collaboration thanks to its artistic, musical roots, but also because of the high concentration of healthcare organizations from large systems to IT to health tech startups. To maintain its position at the top of the industry, however, it needs to channel investments toward continued growth, collaboration and talent development. Learn more about your ad choices.

What does the future hold? Apocalypse or idyll? Robots or retro tech? Artists have asked that question for millennia and responded with wildly inventive, often provocative works. Fronteras del Futuro: Art In New Mexico And Beyond at the art museum at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque brings several dozen cosmic possibilities together in one exciting, forward-focused exhibition. Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski peers into this thoroughly modern future with Jadira Gurulé, the exhibit's curator, and Augustine “Gus” Romero, one of its featured artists. They discuss what it means for people of color to interact with the science fiction genre and to finally see themselves in narratives that white voices have long dominated. Fronteras del Futuro features its share of super-cool spaceship-like transport, beeping machinery, and alien figures from an arguably unnerving other world. Even so, the exhibit remains undeniably calm. That's due to an emphasis on optimism, humanity, and justice for all. Fronteras del Futuro is on view at the art museum at the National Hispanic Cultural Center through March 12, 2023. Learn more about the NHCC and plan your visit at nhccnm.org.

Is it possible for an arts organization to respect the hallowed neighborhood in which it resides and be future-focused? Could it serve as a cultural home for locals while attracting worldwide attention? Can its campus reverberate with the buzz of performances, exhibitions, and events yet provide space for quiet contemplation? If the arts organization in question is The National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, the answer is a resounding “yes.” Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski chats with Executive Director Dr. Margie Huerta and Artistic Director Noël Bella Merriam about the NHCC's exciting, affordable programming as well as its ongoing efforts to preserve, promote, and advance Hispanic culture. The multi-hyphenate institution, which sits in the middle of the historic Barelas neighborhood, is home to a museum, a performing arts center with three stages, a history and literary arts building, and Mundos de Mestizaje, the stunning 4,000 square foot concave fresco by Frederico Vigil. As for the future of the NHCC, Margie maintains that community collaboration and support are vital. Inherent to that goal is education, connecting with schools in the surrounding communities, reiterating to students and their families that the NHCC is a place where they belong. Cultivating inclusion and celebrating diverse identities. Who says the NHCC can't do all the things?
