NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- November is Puerto Rican Heritage Month and to celebrate, the Borimix festival is here!

On this week's episode, we speak with Manuel Morán about the celebration of Boricua heritage, arts and culture.

But first, Joe Torres takes a closer look at "The Peekskill Promise", a unique, educational approach in Westchester County.
