ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Denise Herrera found her passion years ago, but it wasn’t until recently that it created a path back home to New Mexico.
In May, the Con Alma Health Foundation, based out of Santa Fe, announced that it had hired Herrera to replace its outgoing executive director Dolores E. Roybal, who had been with the organization for 15 years. The Con Alma Health Foundation aims to level the playing field when it comes to accessing and getting quality health care.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The lives of flamenco dancers at the National Institute of Flamenco (NIF) were upended in the last year with in-person performances halted for months.
Yet, the cante could still be heard – though faint and in the background.
The vibration from dancer’s steps couldn’t be felt, but each dancer’s passion continued to grow.

Beginning on Tuesday, July 13, the NIF will present Festival Flamenco Alburquerque, which is in its 34th year.
