One of the great journalists hailing from Michigan is Louis Aguilar out of Southwest Detroit. He is an award winning journalist, author and Kresge Literary Arts Fellow. He has worked as a project reporter for the Detroit News for 15 years, and was a senior reporter for Bridge Detroit. He has chronicled the rise/fall of his native Detroit from a different lens like only he can. With today's bombardment of news, Auguilar talks about his career and why he's writing a book on Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and their time spent in Detroit in the 1930's. I welcome Louis Aguilar to Mi Gente on Air as a fellow Latino journalists, and an admirer of his work.

Mi Gente On Air has some awesome guess on the show— 45 episodes since we started in November of 2020. From actors and producers, to Tejano superstars, to local leaders; it’s been memorable. On this episode we look back at my most memorable. From actor Seidy Lopez César Chávez son Paul Chávez, to Saginaw songstress Roxanne Chantaca to Tejano Royalty Michael Salgado and Stepahnie Montiel and more. I just thank you the listener for tuning in and maybe you caught some of these shows, and hopefully will continue to listen and wish me the best as we venture into 2022 bringing you Latino Culture, Concerns, and Contributions. Muschisimas Gracias!

Saginaw City Councilman Michael Flores, through his hat in the ring during the 2020 election and ran for Saginaw City Council. He won and is the first Hispanic City councilman elected since Daniel Soza Jr. in 1998. He gives insight into his one year tenure as a councilman, and why he sought a council seat in a highly polarized election year. It’s important to Flores to help make Saginaw a better place and help change the narrative with a more diverse council.
