"The Flama is a digital network created by, for and starring young Latinos. We focus on comedy and culture (stuff like our crazy relatives, entertainment, music and food). We create funny videos, write offbeat lists and bring awareness to issues affecting our heritage and lives. We aim to capture and celebrate the Latino spirit. Oh and we love llamas way more than cats."
I've recently encountered this online publication and found it very interesting considering the fact the publication is ran solely by Latinos. I noticed that they mention talking about comedy and culture, but after reading some of their work, I would say that they focus less on culture and more on comedic appeal. Although we do need some type of release from the seriousness of life, I would wish they tackled more relevant issues that affect Latinos. Most of the time, when they do tackle topics in relation to economic and political topics, they still find some way to make it comedic.
However, I would like to more about this online publication and how it came to be. I would like to know who created it and why. What purpose does this website serve for not just Latinos but everyone who reads it. I feel that having finalized answers to these questions would enable me to better understand their objective.
