The number of Latinos voted for public office in the United States who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community has tripled. Two Latina chefs were awarded James Beard medals Monday at a ceremony that recognized the diversity of cuisines in the U.S.

One of the winners is a Puerto Rican in the first time the awards recognize someone from Puerto Rico. Also, in the Axios Latino newsletter, meet the Hispanic chefs who won the 'Oscar' of cooking, and a Peruvian engineer who built a house upside down.
