My name is Phillip L. V\u00e9lez. I am a native New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent with a master&#8217;s degree in corporate communication. I aim to communicate great stories about excellent people and organizations.<\/p>\n<p>I started blogging in 2003 mainly as a vehicle for my personal writing. Posts were primarily very general in nature. I wanted to write about anything and everything. Overtime several main topics developed: Latino\/Puerto Rican culture, social media, and politics.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to categorize the theme or niche of this blog, I would say it&#8217;s a Latino\/Puerto Rican political blog written by a social media enthusiast.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a title=\"philvelez.com\" href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/philvelez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/philvelez<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for visiting V\u00e9lez&#8217;s View.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fphilvelez.com%2Fblog%2F%3Fpage_id%3D2&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=dark\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px;height:20px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello.
