EDWIN ROSARIO MAZARA, CEO (él/him/his)
Edwin or, as his close friends call him, “Mazara” is the founder of the literary magazine Spanglish Voces as well as the founder and producer of the YouTube talk show La Sala Talks. Hace un tiempo no muy lejano, su enfoque has been invested on three central areas: social thinking, social influence, and social behavior in humans. Estos intereses lo llevaron a incursionar en la rama de social psychology y convertirse en un hater of psychoanalysis (sorry Freud y thank you Fromm). Mazara es un humanista y activista comunitario que ama las miles de historias de los desconocidos y esas verdades que visibilizan a “los de abajo” en esta tierra. He loves reading, la música, nature y un buen trago sin importar el label.
