Back by popular demand, Amor Prohibido, the premier Selena tribute band, returns to The Bornemann after selling out the theatre last year. Get ready, San Marcos—this fan-favorite tribute is back to celebrate the music, energy, and legacy of the Queen of Tejano. Amor Prohibido transports audiences back to the ’90s, when Selena’s timeless music ruled the airwaves. With seven powerhouse musicians on stage, this tribute elevates the meaning of authenticity. You have to see—and hear—it to believe it. Fronted by Nira Perez, an extraordinary vocalist and uncanny Selena look- and sound-alike, the band delivers a performance so authentic it feels like witnessing Selena herself. Backed by a high-energy five-piece band, Amor Prohibido recreates Selena’s iconic sound with passion, rhythm, and nonstop crowd favorites. Sing, dance, and relive the magic in a show that’s more than a concert—it’s an experience. One night only at The Bornemann. *FYI the audience is encouraged to get up and dance during this show* Amor Prohibido on Instagram

With a goal of providing important and useful information on special education law and practice, the University of San Diego School of Law offers its Special Education Law and Advocacy Series (SELAS). This specialized program not only educates participants about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and other related laws and includes an in-depth look at Regional Center services, it also offers practical tips for special education advocacy. Past participants have included parents of children with disabilities, professionals working in related fields, school district staff, related services providers (such as speech and language pathologists), attorneys, and others. The seminars are taught by experienced special education attorneys as well as a licensed clinical psychologist. No textbook is required and each seminar includes electronic handouts. Enrollment is flexible—participants may register for as many or as few seminars as they like to match their professional or personal goals. Participants who complete the entire series—with their cameras on for each session—are eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion from the University of San Diego School of Law. Viewing recordings alone does not qualify for certification. Although participants may spread the seminars across terms, all sessions must be completed within three years.

We eat food, but what do the women and girls who pick it have to endure? This Saturday, a large mixed media installation opens illustrating struggles of campesinas/female farmworkers. Centered around a colorful family banquet table with place settings featuring quotes from campesinas, the intricately researched and visually captivating “Because We Eat - How Growing Our Food Affects Farmworkers,” is shown in conjunction with the Centro Cultural de la Raza’s, “Connecting en la Cocina: Empowerment, Resistance & Wisdom-Keeping.” Artist / activist (Artivist) Antonia Davis says of her installation, “Farmworkers most often work under dangerous, unjust and oppressive conditions. Every stitch sewn in this installation reflects our respect for the hours farmworkers spend, the distances they travel, the heartaches they endure and the strengths they embody.” Other Connecting en la Cocina exhibits include “Ancestral Roots” by Mariana Raquel and “Sacred Altars of MMIW - 7 Peaks for 7 Sisters” by Way of the Sacred Mountain, Artist Teyana Viscarra, and works from other local artists.

The Stephen Sondheim musical Merrily We Roll Along played to sold out crowds on Broadway during its 2023-2024 run. That show was filmed, and now available to watch on the big screen.

Join via zoom https://sdsu.zoom.us/j/82179705659 This past year has made one thing painfully clear: our youth and women are being deeply influenced—by misinformation, social media algorithms, fake news, AI-generated content, profit-driven podcasters that prioritize money over truth and public well-being. Many young voters and women, especially those in the beauty and wellness industries, are not being given safe, neutral, facts-based education that clearly explains what policies, candidates, and elections actually mean for their lives, their bodies, their families, and their children. Instead, they are being emotionally pulled by viral clips, fear-based messaging, and personalities who benefit financially from confusion and division. I know there are events and debates in young college community but what about the trade school folk. ESPECIALLY IN BEAUTY AND WELLNESS. WE URGENTLY NEED TO empower this large industry on what the reality is of their vote. We urgently need support to build workshops, educational apps, websites, and live community events designed specifically for youth and women—spaces that are free from political manipulation, social media pressure, and financial agendas. These programs would focus on: • Understanding how misinformation and AI influence beliefs • Clear, accessible explanations of policies and real-world consequences FAST AND EASY AND SIMPLE • How voting decisions affect women, children, education, healthcare, and economic stability • Teaching people how to research facts safely and informed w real facts Women in the beauty and wellness industries, in particular, hold enormous influence in their communities. Many are mothers, mentors, and business owners—yet they are rarely given tools to understand how elections directly impact their professions, their autonomy, and the futures of the families they serveIf we do not intervene now, we risk raising generations who believe voting is a popularity contest rather than a responsibility with lifelong consequences.
