AUTHOR TERESA VAZQUEZ MARTINEZ TO SPEAK AT THE TAMPA LATIN CHAMBER’S APRIL 27TH LUNCHEON

The Tampa Latin Chamber (TLC) welcomes Cuban-born and Lakeland resident Teresa Vazquez Martinez, author of the bilingual book titled SUCCESS in EXILE / EXITO en el EXILIO, to speak at its next luncheon on Tuesday, April 27th at the Doubletree Hotel at 4500 West Cypress Street in Tampa. Musical entertainment will be provided by Lemay Olano-James, a classically trained violinist.

SUCCESS in EXILE / EXITO en el EXILIO is an inspirational short story book that spans five decades starting in 1958. In their own words, it follows the lives of 25 Cuban families, their struggles to flee the island, and the various levels of success they have achieved in the United States.

Ms. Martinez will also be available after the lunch for any book signing requests. Teresa is the president and CEO of the Institute of Spanish Communication. Her company provides businesses and individuals with accurate and professional language and cultural instruction, document translation and oral interpretation, thus insuring success in dealing with the growing Hispanic market and the global economy.
