Natalia Muñoz is a multimedia artist, journalist, and a communications and marketing consultant. As a consultant, I create solutions that engage the communities of color with political candidates, financial institutions and community organizations.
I founded La Prensa of Western Massachusetts as the result of a dream to provide space for other Latin@ voices – and those of allies – to be heard, to be part of the great mix, the wonderful cacophony, that is the sound of democracy in action.
La Prensa was founded in 2007 as a monthly printed paper and distributed throughout the four counties of Western Massachusett. It quickly became a reference point for some of the region's most innovative and intelligent writing on arts, culture, media and politics.
Since 2007, La Prensa has also had a sister website, which as technology itself, is constantly evolving to provide contributors and visitors informative and enriching experiences.
In 2010, I founded Verdant Multicultural Media to continue engaging communities of color into the mainstream as a way to be part of public policies that affect all out lives.
I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and raised on my island and overseas in such places as New York City, Italy and Spain.
I have worked in journalism for my most of professional life. My columns and stories have appeared in The San Juan (Puerto Rico) Star, The Associated Press (Barcelona), The New York Daily News, Ms. and The Valley Advocate and The Springfield Union-News and Republican (Massachusetts). Additionally, I have been an editor at El Diario La Prensa (New York City), El Mundo and El Vocero (Puerto Rico).
The collapse of traditional print media journalism motivated me to find innovative ways to distribute information, whether on standard web browsers or smartphones. The enormous changes in media also returned me to my graphic arts roots as well as connected me with the marvels and thrills of technology+design.
In the end, all this means is that I work for positive social change. I believe health insurance is a birth right and not a perk, that active participation in the democratic process is a key for communities of color, that social justice is a moral imperative and good business. I believe that the poem “New Collosus” by Emma Lazarus still strives to keep the promise from the base of the Statue of Liberty. It is a powersful statement of purpose for a country founded on the country of other peoples.
Information is power.
As part of my commitment to creating and distributing information, I also founded a multimedia company geared to engage with multicultural communities. More about Verdant Multicultural Media can be found here.
