Latina Bloggers Weekly Round-up
Hola, Latinas! Have you done something heroic today? Well, according to new research led by Stanford University professor, Phillip Zimbardo, Latinos are twice as likely as Anglos to take heroic action in an emergency situation. ¡Qué coraje! …The reason for this, Zimbardo speculates, is that there are “greater opportunities [for Latinos] to respond” or that being discriminated against gives them, “more compassion to others in need.” Whatever the reason, it should certainly be a source of pride for the community, don’t you think?
Okay before you run off to save the day, take a minute to see what Latina Bloggers have been up to this week!

Found you through ShePosts. Happy to meet you, and connect. I am first generation American, with parents that are Colombian. Even though we’re physically in the US, they’re still living in Colombia.
I know you know what I mean.
Pleasure to meet you.
I totally know what you mean..I´m sure my girl will be saying that about her parents some time soon!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you get to connect with many other Latina bloggers. We´re working on a forum/community site to make that easier.
@lbconnect Thanks!
