Giving back never felt more full circle. 💫 This past weekend, I attended ’s first-ever Toy Drive Brunch at , to support the mission of delivering toys to children and families in need this holiday season. Standing alongside the founder and organizer, David, whose birthday it is today 🎉🥳 Thank you for the visual reminder and exemplifying the power of community and showing up for one another.

The holidays were complex to navigate for me growing up. And today, still challenging to heal from the emotions that arise upon reflection and understanding into adulthood. I was raised in a dysfunctional home with emotional and financial challenges, so even the smallest gestures, whether we managed to have a tiny Christmas tree or I recieved a handwritten letter, felt monumental to me. My mom, despite everything, always did her best to create moments of magic, decorating, baking, and playing my favorite holiday classics. Those experiences taught me the true value of being seen, thought of, and remembered.

This season, giving back feels deeply meaningful. Donating toys brings me joy because the greatest gift we can offer is love and care. Even through hardship, we can choose to embody the love we wish to receive and create positive impact in the lives of others. Shout to 2nd Bronx Puerto Rican Princess for also showing up and donating for the cause! 🇵🇷✊🏽

I’m on a mission to be an influencer with intention, turning authentic values into aligned action and leveraging my platform to amplify nonprofit organizations and partnerships making real-life impact. One of my initiatives is launching my community broadcast channel, “Platform with a Purpose,” where I share opportunities for YOU to get involved through attending events, volunteering your time, and engaging in community advocacy. Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community. ✨✊🏽

🗳️ Nueva York, It’s ! I cast my vote earlier this week as I am New Yorker born, raised and based! Exercising my civic duty here in the Bronx was a non-negotiable.

I proudly voted for — a man for the people. His track record speaks for itself: he’s fought for affordable housing, tenant protections, childcare expansion, and a fairer economy that supports working families, freelancers, and creatives alike.
As a freelancer, I see how his advocacy uplifts those of us navigating an unpredictable economy. As a Latina woman of color, I feel represented by his vision for an inclusive New York, one that values every voice and every borough. We deserve a candidate who leads with empathy, intention, integrity, aligned lived experiences to be able to resonate with the people of New York from a place of sincerity.

Our votes matter. Our presence matters.
Let’s show up for a future that reflects us. 💪🏽🗽

Did you know? November is Puerto Rican Heritage Month! 🇵🇷

This Halloween, I embodied Miss Liberty herself and my boyfriend as Bad Bunny — together representing Nueva Yol as a proud Nuyorican 🗽🇵🇷

This look came together with ease, entirely from what I already owned, transforming my first-place trophy from the Bronx Puerto Rican Cultural Pageant into Lady Liberty’s torch. 2025 has been the year of Bad Bunny amplifying Puerto Rican cultura and also the year of my reign, wearing my crown to honor my own homecoming to self. 👑✨

Inspired by the “NUEVA YOL” video, where the Statue of Liberty wears the Puerto Rican flag across her forehead, this imagery runs deep. That scene pays homage to the 2000 protest by Puerto Rican activist Tito Kayak, who famously climbed the Statue of Liberty to hang the Puerto Rican flag, a symbol of resistance, identity, and pride for the diaspora.

That moment reminds us of how our liberty has layers. For Puerto Ricans, it’s about migration, survival, and reclaiming space in a system that has often erased us. It says: We belong. We built this. We are part of this story.

Even my puppy Cafecita joined in on her first Halloween 🐶☕ dressed as café, a Latin signature of our cultura that connects us back to abuelita’s kitchen mornings, the smell of home, and the warmth that raised us.

This wasn’t just a costume — it was una celebración completa of heritage, healing, and hope. A love letter to my ancestors, to NYC, and to every resilient Latino in this city turning struggle into strength and triumph.

✨ Honored to have been invited by and to the exclusive press event at for the unveiling of the New York New Jersey World Cup 26™ & Telemundo Fan Village 💫🗽

As a born and based proud New Yorker, it was surreal to witness this moment that will transform one of the city’s most iconic landmarks into the ultimate World Cup celebration 🎉 From July 4–19, Rockefeller Center will become the heart of the NYNJ Host Committee’s fan experience, filled with live broadcasts, cultural activations, and global connection. A win for accessibility for those unable to attend the games and a win for cultura y comunidad aquí en Nueva York.

Highlights like The Pitch, turning the legendary Rink into a soccer field ⚽, and the Champions’ Garden, honoring the nations that have lifted the FIFA World Cup trophy 🏆, showed how sports and storytelling unite the world.

Hearing how Telemundo, the exclusive Spanish-language home of FIFA World Cup 26™, will bring all 104 matches to life across Telemundo, Universo, and Peacock filled me with pride. Seeing la cultura represented on a global stage is powerful porque 💪🏽

Though Puerto Rico isn’t in the World Cup, I wore my jersey proudly 🇵🇷⚽ Because yes, we do have a national team too! Represent your country loudly and proudly, siempre. 🌎✨🗺️
