The Real Cinco De Mayo | Keeping It Different Vlog 8

In this week’s episode of our “Keeping It Different” vlog, Sandra Revueltas explores Cinco de Mayo in NYC. Check out how some Mexican New Yorkers celebrated, and learn a little bit more about the culture. This weekend kicks off an upcoming series where Tayo Rockson and Sandra will uncover NYC subcultures!

“Everyday we have the opportunity to learn something new and I think that exposing ourselves to new cultures prepares us to better understand and appreciate the world around us. I believe that having this mindset is a necessary initial step to becoming a global citizen.”
