Yanelba Ferreira, shown at left, booked a role in the web series "Happy Cancer Chick." Written by Linda Nieves-Powell and Jenny Lídice Saldaña and directed by Nieves Powell, Ferreira will play the sister of the series lead, played by Saldaña. The webseries will premiere in March 2012. (She booked the gig after reading about the casting notice on one of HOLA's e-mail announcement notices and submitting herself. Coincidentally, her mother auditioned for the role of Saldaña and Ferreira's mother-- and booked the gig as well.) Caridad De La Luz is scheduled to ring in the new year by performing with Grammy-nominated bandleader Bobby Sanábria and his Quarteto Aché at the famed Nuyorican Poets' Café located in Manhattan's Loísaida neighborhood.
