New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (and this blogger’s BFF) on Wednesday unveiled “El Chisme Oficial de NYC,” a new WhatsApp channel to communicate directly with my people (i.e. the millions of Spanish-speaking New Yorkers.)
“Every New Yorker deserves to know what their city is doing for them in the language they speak at home,” said Mamdani in a prepared statement, adding that WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging platforms among Latino communities in New York City.
I just hope Mayor Mamdani will also use this thing to let us know about taco specials and “horas felices” around the city.
I don’t know about you, but as a proud “chismosa latina,” I’ve already signed up.
Keep the chismes comin’ Zohran!
