Amy, La Niña De La Mochila Azul

An underrated classic, this telenovela from 2004 is about a tomboy child who grows up on the shore with her fisherman step-dad who rescued her from the sea (you’ll have to watch to figure out why a kid is at sea to begin with). It stars our beloved child actor, Danna Paola. There are many twists and turns, but our favorite has to be Amy’s friendship with a mermaid named Coral.

Cuidado Con El Angel

We know how much our mothers (and us too, we have to admit it… )love the heartthrob William Levy, which is why Cuidado Con El Angel is a family must-watch. The novela has Maite Perroni playing Maria De Jesus, an orphan girl who escapes the orphanage only to meet Juan Miguel later in life. Juan is a psychiatrist who helps Maria De Jesus (Marichuy) escape her life as a rebel and get her off the streets. Like any novela, the romance between the two is worth the watch.

Fuego En La Sangre

It can’t get any more dramatic than this. A novela about three siblings who swear they will take revenge on their sister’s death and kill everyone in the family of the now-deceased man who cheated and lied to their younger sister. Along the way, they each fall in love with the daughters of the man they wanted to take revenge on. Ugh! The ultimate enemies to lovers trope. And to top it off, the novela also brought us the iconic song “El Bombon Asesino” by Ninel Conde!

Señora Acero

Sara Aguilar is Mexico’s most powerful drug trafficker, who also happens to be a mother willing to do anything to protect her loved ones. Although Sara is the main focus of the first two seasons, the other three seasons revolve around another powerful woman named Vicenta, a coyote who helps immigrant families cross the U.S border. So if you’re looking for Telenovela lawbreakers, this is the perfect show for you.

Available to watch on: Netflix.

La Casa De Las Flores

Although early 2000’s novelas are iconic and well-loved, a recent novela that caught people’s attention is La Casa De Las Flores. It’s a more modern twist to telenovelas and how we watch them but no less dramatic. This hilarious Mexican comedy-drama series tells the story of a wealthy family that owns a flower shop who have to keep up the facade of being a “perfect family” after their secrets are exposed. Plot twists, lies, and ridiculous moments are non-stop but beware, this is not a family-friendly telenovela. The sex scenes don’t leave a lot to the imagination.

For decades, climate scientists have issued urgent warnings about the future of the planet. 10 years ago, they were predicting rising global temperatures, more extreme weather events, and irreversible environmental changes. At the time, these projections were seen by some as distant threats, theoretical scenarios that might unfold in the coming decades. Fast forward to 2025, and many of those warnings have become reality. From record-breaking heatwaves to intensified hurricanes, the past ten years have provided undeniable proof that climate change is real and its consequences are already reshaping the world.

In the past decade, the world has witnessed a cascade of environmental shifts that align with what experts forecasted. Global temperatures have skyrocketed past previous records, sea levels continue to rise, and natural disasters have become more frequent and severe. As scientists predicted, the consequences of a warming planet are happening now. They’re not just theories anymore. Today, we want to look into some of the biggest climate predictions made in 2015 and explore how they’ve played out in 2025.

Latino Muslims and Ramadan: Embracing Islam Through a Latino Lens

When thinking of Islam, many people might envision majestic mosques in the Middle East or maybe Ramadan bazaars in South Asia. What might be less likely to come to mind is a Latino family breaking their fast during Ramadan with arroz con gandules, or a group of Latino Muslims gathering for Eid (celebrations to conclude the month of fasting), speaking Spanish while reciting their prayers in Arabic. Yet, for a growing number of Latinos, Islam is a faith they’ve adopted and woven into their cultural identity.

Latino Freeze Economic Boycott: Will Latinos Use Their $2.5 Trillion Spending Power?

Luz Media - Sayuri Jimenez

The Latino Freeze Movement is attempting to shake up the economy with a bold message and protest: if corporations won’t stand by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Latino consumers won’t stand by them. Leveraging the collective buying power of the Latino community in the U.S., which is expected to exceed $2.5 trillion in 2025—with their GDP also reaching an estimated $3.7 trillion and considered the fifth-largest in the world—the movement seeks to hold corporations accountable by directing spending toward businesses that support Latino and immigrant communities and away from companies that are rolling back their DEI commitments.
