Celebrating 2 Years of La Voz Latina: Music, Community and Gratitude

Carmen Govea

Last December 6, La Voz Latina proudly celebrated its second anniversary, an event that was experienced to the fullest alongside friends, community leaders, media and, above all, our loyal followers, who make every step of this project possible.

The celebration was filled with elegance, music, and flavor. We were honored to have Son de Clarksville, a salsa group that is causing a sensation in the area, perform and delight us with their rhythm and energy.

Son de Clarksville

Several local businesses joined in for this special evening. El Bizcochito Panadería did an incredible job with the cake that was presented during the toast. The food was simply delicious:

• Tamales from our friends at Antojitos Mexicanos Doña Anita,

• Exquisite fajitas (you have to try them!) from Pablo’s Mexican Restaurant,

• And a delicious enchilado chicken from El Sazón de la Costa, who also now have tacos al pastor on their menu.

Of course, Teófilo’s Paletería refreshed us with their delicious aguas frescas, and for dessert, our dear Lupita from Sweet Little Cravings left us with huge smiles thanks to her exquisite cake. As a special touch, Belinda from Conecta Clarksville surprised us with a beautiful and delicious charcuterie board. And of course, our beautiful Yerlin from Yerlin Beauty Salon made sure I looked my best, while Stephy from Stephy's Beauty Studio made my hands radiate with such pretty nails that they couldn't go unnoticed.

Elisan Artistic Ballons

The elegance of the evening was made possible by JnJ Decoraciones, responsible for the linens and decorations, as well as Mariloli and Leonardo from Artistic Ballons, who created a spectacular balloon art for the area.

One of the most emotional moments was when several attendees joined the musical group, along with myself, to sing "No Se Va", while displaying the sign of La Voz Latina, created especially for this event by Yoselin de Andrea Custom Designs.

Comunidad de la Voz Latina

The evening was filled with joy, surprises, and recognition. Among the award recipients, Mayela from Tienda El Torreón received the Community Impact Award for her tireless dedication to supporting families in need and for opening her business to operate the Community Clothing Bank, which provides free clothing to the community.

Cafe 931

It is worth noting that this great anniversary would not have been possible without the support of our friend Claudia Oakes from Café 931, who opened the doors of her business to us to celebrate these two years of achievements and growth together with the community.

We also had the honor of the presence of important media outlets that covered the event, including:

• Radio host La Potra Morales from La Fregona,

• Journalist Janet Pastrán from JP Periodismo Sin Vanguardia,

• Our friends at Latino News,

• And our beautiful Elizabeth Guillén, founder of Talento Latino, who served as master of ceremonies and captivated us all night with her great charisma.

  
  

A special thank you to photographer Carlos de Calo Photography, who captured moments that will forever remain in our memories, and to our dear Vero from Lincoln Heritage, for her invaluable support in ensuring everything was streamed live.

✨ Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our followers: to those who read us, listen to us, share our content, and believe in La Voz Latina. Your constant support, trust, and loyalty are the reason this project continues to grow. This anniversary is also yours.

Thank you all for being part of this story. Here's to many more years of La Voz Latina! 💛🎉
