On this, Sunday that's set aside to celebrate Latino pride and The Puerto Rican Parade, it is fitting to profile a famous Borinqueño. 

I met Anthony and his mom in Brooklyn recently. This young man and this wonderful animated, joyous, life-affirming major motion picture character are some of the best reasons for not only Latinos but for everyone to return to theaters, which were closed all over the place due to #COVID and the public health crisis around the world.

The coronavirus pandemic forced them all to close on March 12, 2020, and are now finally reopening.

Sabrina, and I got together for dinner last night in what could be described as an NYC blowout. We had fun, believe me.

I had not hugged my baby daughter, Sabrina for over a year, and needless to say, this magic was long overdue. We were hearing all about the projects she is working on, and listing to Sabrina tell stories about my youngest grandchild Olivia.
