“Looking back at history in Puerto Rico helps us see that we have always been powerful. Right now with the many challenges we are facing in Puerto Rico, people here feel powerless in their ability to participate in decision-making and governance. I believe it is because we don’t know our history, and we have forgotten how powerful we are. With these heritage tours that we are doing on AtmaGo, we are highlighting the history of the communities that surround the castles, so people know their own history and the power that they have.” – Erika Marrero, Puerto Rico Program Associate, Atma Connect

Puerto Rico was vulnerable to food insecurity prior to COVID-19 and the pandemic has only exacerbated those concerns. Erika Marrero, Puerto Rico Program Associate for Atma Connect recently presented an AtmaGo Journalism Workshop to a group of women in agricultural sciences, “Women in Ag Science” (WAGS). “I think we would have a better informed population if more people mastered the skill of citizen journalism,” explains Noelymar González, co-founder of Women in Ag Science and a soil science doctoral student at UC Davis.
