This may be my last post recommending my favorite Latino blogs. I posted entries in 2009, 2010, and 2011 then took a long break until now. There are so many Latino/a-based blogs out there making it extremely difficult for me to list my favorites. Initially, I wanted to showcase the wonderful work of Latino/a bloggers and encourage others to undertake the art of blogging. In 2015, there is no shortage of Latino/a-based stories in the blogosphere. However, I wanted to take another opportunity to recognize the work of some pretty amazing blogs. Check them out and feel free to follow them on Twitter and Facebook.
Here are my favorite seven Latino/a blogs for 2014/15:
