Marisa Trevino is the author of the blog Latina Lista, which covers issues, services and products that impact Latinos across the U.S. Her blog is currently syndicated on the Houston Chronicle’s web site. We saw Marisa out at the BlogHer conference, where she spoke on a panel entitled “Identity…and Obligations.” The discussion focused on people who blog about race, sex and culture.
We wanted to follow up with Marisa on the BurstBlog to get her insight on culturally motivated blogs such as hers. Latina Lista, in her words, is “always presented with definite opinion that strives to point out the good, the bad, the nonsensical or the benefits of a particular issue ‚ and always with the goal of Giving Voice and Being Heard to the Latina perspective.”
Q: How long have you had the blog?
I’ve had Latina Lista for almost two years now. I named it this because 1) I’m Latina and 2) “lista” has multiple meanings in Spanish: ready, smart/intelligent, and a list. I wanted a name that I felt reflected today’s Latinas while addressing the fact that blogs are of a larger community.
