"Every time I share a Cafecito Break Podcast, I'm sharing a lil piece of my heart." Rosangel Perez

Rosangel and Ruthie share 5 things they have learned hosting a live Monday Morning Podcast...

Here are some of the items on their list:

show up - even if it scares you

allow the pause in between

its not about me, its not about she, its about us

words are powerful... use them wisely

"I found my voice" - Rosangel and Ruthie had this one on their list

the art of conversation is becoming extinct.  It seems more difficult to have a whole body listening chats

sometimes you need to take a "you" break and be okay with it

when you know, you know, you know... :-)

"Five Years ago in the middle of life transitions and deep within the dark night of the soul... I dared to take action on my dream of creating a podcast. 5 Years later, over 180 shows, multiple interviews and lots of lessons learned, we are grateful to share that our podcast Cafecito Break has reached hundreds of thousands of listeners.  Our vision for 2017 is to keep growing and expanding." - Rosangel Perez

Happy Birthday Cafecito Break Podcast...

Dedicated to those who are experiencing grief, loss, and/or transition.  In this episode, Rosangel talks about the loss of her father and how gratitude helped her manage her inconsolable grief. Everyday for a year she shared a gratitude tweet on social media. In less than 29 days, she started to feel lighter and more peaceful inside. As a result #29daysofgratitude was born.  Since 2009, Rosangel has shared this journey with thousands of people who have joined her on this 29 day journey.  One day at a time.... One breath at a time.  We invite you to listen here.

"One moment it feels like you are "on top of the world" and the next like you've crashed hard...

This is what it felt like for me when my father passed away back in Nov 2009. At that time, I had my dream job Line Producing, "MTV Teen Cribs", I was working for the best department at MTV and with the dream team. I was feeling elated!

It had taken about 11 years of hard work and many hours of sacrifices to get to that point. ;-D

And then, almost overnight, the rug was pulled underneath me. My father passed away.

It felt like the Universe had played an extremely cruel joke on me..

My fathers death forced me to "Stop"... And in that quiet, raw, cold, lonely place, I discovered something magical... gratitude and appreciation. I realized that I wanted to honor my father and his love. For an entire year, I tweeted a gratitude tweet."-

Rosangel Perez

"Whose rebellion will win? The week’s astrology points to what is being destroyed and who is benefitting from the destruction. It looks at who is causing the mayhem and who is cashing in on it. It wonders about who or what is getting free and how we make sure that kindness, justice and decency stay in the running."

Rosangel and Ruthie have a conversation with Council Member Antonio Reynoso about some of the issues affecting the community he serves which include gentrification, the need for affordable housing, the rapid displacement of Elders, and more.  We also talk about the impact of community working together locally to co create healthier communities.  It starts at home and it starts with us.  We invite you to listen here.

About | Antonio Reynoso

As the Council member representing the 34th district, Antonio wants to create an environment conducive to a better quality of life for residents of Bushwick and Williamsburg in Brooklyn and Ridgewood in Queens. He understands that success in his district starts with strong schools, the fundamental access to affordable housing, and economic growth. As Chair of the Committee on Sanitation, he continues to focus on creating waste equity in New York City. In addition to serving as Chair of the Committee on Sanitation, Antonio is a member of significant Council Committees, including Committees on Education, Land Use, Governmental Operations, Transportation, State-Federal Law and Zoning and Franchises. He is also the Co-Chair of the Council’s Progressive Caucus and a member of the Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus.

Antonio Reynoso was born and raised in the Southside of Williamsburg, Los Sures, to immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic. At a young age, Antonio’s parents instilled in him the importance of hard work, education, and community service. These lessons have undoubtedly influenced his core philosophy and remain with him today.

Antonio attended local community schools such as P.S. 19 and J.H.S. 50 before attending La Salle Academy in Manhattan. He graduated from LeMoyne College with a bachelor’s degree in political science. As a Community Organizer for NYC A.C.O.R.N., Antonio led a comprehensive coalition to improve the professional lives of child-care providers by legitimizing the profession through Union incorporation.

Since 2007, Antonio has worked relentlessly for the neighborhoods throughout the 34th Council District improving the quality of life for the residents of Brooklyn and Queens.  First, being hired as a Ridgewood representative where he empowered constituencies by fostering relationships with building and small business owners and facilitating the processes of city government.  In 2009, Antonio became Council member Reyna’s Chief of Staff, where he oversaw and advanced progressive policies and legislative reforms for affordable housing, economic development, job creation, education, and public safety.

On January 1st, 2014 Antonio assumed office as the Council Member for the 34th District.  During his first term, Antonio has proactively tackled the most pressing issue affecting his constituency by developing housing task forces in North Brooklyn and Ridgewood. His implementation of the Housing Task Forces brings tenant organizers together with City agencies to address buildings where residents are threatened with displacement. With this he hopes to expedite necessary repairs and discourage landlords from displacing tenants, ensuring units pass inspections, and therefore preserving what affordable housing stock we have left.

Antonio has long been a champion for transparency and democratic participation and that’s why he did not hesitate at the opportunity to introduce members of the 34th district to Participatory Budgeting. This process encourages all community members to gather ideas on how to spend public funds on community improvements. Since the process began in 2014, over $2.5m have gone towards improving our public schools, public housing, parks, transportation, and senior centers in Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Ridgewood.

As a lifelong resident, Antonio truly understands the value of preserving the character of our district and unapologetically demands the investment of necessary services to our communities.

Rosangel and Ruthie speak with Marjorie Velazquez who recently decided to run for a Council member in the Bronx.

About | Marjorie Velázquez was born into a Bronx home that embodies the opportunities provided by this great borough and city. As the daughter of Puerto Rican parents who moved here in the 1970’s to create a better life, she learned the value of hard work, dedication and education from a young age. Marjorie’s parents worked long hours while struggling to overcome language barriers, yet they worked their way up and became proud small business owners.

Marjorie’s roots in the community were formed during her early years attending P.S. 106 and M.S. 127 in Castle Hill and St. Catherine Academy for high school in Pelham Parkway. She then went on to earn her degree in Finance and Accounting at the Stern School of Business at New York University. She worked in several corporate finance, budgeting and accounting positions, and most recently served as a Senior Accountant in the Corporate Finance Group at DIRECTV Latin America, where she designed and implemented accounting strategies for South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean.

In 2012, Marjorie suffered life-changing injuries from a fall at work and a subsequent serious car crash that left her temporarily disabled and abruptly put a hold on her corporate career. Always a fighter, she struggled through seven surgeries and a broken, bureaucratic healthcare system, but found a path to recovery through giving back to her community.

During her recovery, Marjorie’s life went from one of painful struggle to one of public service. Marjorie helped elect Ritchie Torres to the New York City Council as his treasurer, joined Bronx Community Board 10 where she now serves as treasurer and executive board member, and co- founded Bronx Women United, the first committee of its kind, dedicated to empowering women through political and civic engagement.

She was also elected as the Democratic District Leader and an executive board member of the Chippewa Democratic Club, both in the 82nd Assembly District, and the treasurer for the Liberty Democratic Association in the 80th Assembly District.

Marjorie has dedicated her life to public service and to fiercely and tirelessly advocating for her community every day.

Marjorie lives in Throggs Neck with her husband, Jeff Lynch, who was the long-time former Chief of Staff of Council Member James Vacca, and their three cats.
