La Prensa HABLA!

WGTE Public Media

La Prensa is the region’s oldest and largest weekly, bilingual Latinx newspaper, and we are proud to collaborate with WGTE to present La Prensa HABLA! Derived from the word “hablar,” meaning “to talk,” the program will use the power of the spoken word to cover topics relevant to our Latinx culture. We present local, national and international news, discuss the state of agricultural workers, document life at the U.S. northern border and spotlight Latinx academics, authors, community leaders and experts. In addition, we present cultural cooking demonstrations and teach a Spanish word of the week.

    NWO Immigrant / Migrant Realities

    On this episode of La Prensa Habla, we share two journeys that shaped northwest Ohio. One is the story of an immigrant woman who nearly lost her legal status after returning home to bury her mother. The other follows a migrant family facing hunger, who sold their only means of income just to reach the next town, guided by a stranger who changed everything. These are stories of loss, sacrifice, and the quiet angels who help people survive.
