Latinitas Launched New Social Network - MyLatinitas.com

The newest excitement for Latinitas followers is its new networking site, MyLatinitas.com. The site already has over 90 members from El Paso, Austin, and even New York have already singed up to connect to the beta site with other Latinitas readers and volunteers.  Girls can join a safe, moderated online community where they can share photos, upload videos, add music, join discussions, add friends, create events, build groups and post blogs about several topics of interest to young Latinas.

One of the most popular blogging themes includes President Barack Obama's presidential inauguration.  As various members tell about the exhilarating feeling that many Americans felt when witnessing this historic moment, one user told about her negative experience involving a schoolmate.  This site is useful for initiating such discussions among Latinas that as ethnic minorities are likely to affect our experiences.   

Other blogging topics have included entertainment, such as book and film reviews, as well as opportunities to apply for scholarships and organizations.  Many members have also used to the site to post blogs about personal interests, and have been able to network with other Latinitas.  

In addition to providing an outlet for creative expression among Hispanic girls, the site also features articles written by LatinitasMagazine staff and interns.
