AMÉRICA, a Hispanic-led magazine with a distinct lens is the work of Marisol Medina, a journalist and entrepreneur, and Felipe Robayo, writer-editor-producer, who decided to launch their own publication as a sustainable means to live by the pen. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, they share the challenges of entrepreneurship, and we celebrate their growth in Central Florida in large part due to their unique coverage of world events and bilingual approach. Felipe and Marisol denounce the oppressive state of their beloved Colombia, a Latin American country rich in a wide variety of resources but also affected by a wide variety of violations to basic human rights, censorship, and disinformation driven by political ideologies. From missing persons to increased taxes, sexual assaults to police brutality, there is no peace or compromise in Colombia, bringing angst to this Colombo-American couple determined to deliver the voice of a new generation of Latinos in the pages of AMÉRICA.
