Quote of the Day
Each year, National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15, by honoring the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
Today’s quote comes from Oscar de la Renta, a fashion designer from the Dominican Republic who is credited with designing many dresses for Jacqueline Kennedy.
He once said: Tu gran fortaleza es saber quién eres.
"Your great strength is knowing who you are."
