Here are the top stories in Albuquerque today:

1. Albuquerque bakery is bringing people together with a community business pop-up. On 2/6, Delectable Baking Co. is hosting a family-friendly event complete with food trucks, drinks, and local artisans to help promote local businesses. Owners Xandria and Dominic Molinari look forward to being with fellow residents and lifting up fellow small businesses next Saturday! (KRQE News 13)
2. Outpatient behavioral health clinic from the South Valley is now working to fight the language barrier and provide mental health resources to the Spanish-speaking population. Centro Savila began with just one clinician, but 10 years later they have 30 employees and have expanded to the International District and North Valley. The nonprofit is making a huge impact on the community by bringing many Spanish-speakers into therapy and counseling who otherwise did not have any access. (KRQE News 13)
3. Albuquerque-based filmmaker, Shaandiin Tome, is back at the Sundance Film Festival. Tome co-directed the short film, "Long Line of Ladies," which follows a young girl through her journey to womanhood within her Karuk community in Northern California. The documentary aims to normalize period conversations by highlighting a culture that both celebrates and uplifts its young women when they come of age. (Albuquerque Journal)
