I strutted right pass New York Fashion Week this season 👀 — to prioritize opportunities that align with who I am and who I’m becoming.

I’m focused on intentional impact, offline as much as in the digital space. stepping into rooms where I’m seen, celebrated, respected, and valued. As a Latina woman who built her way up and had to fight to be in certain spaces, I selectively choose environments rooted in community, where support is mutual and collaboration outweighs competition.

With growth comes clarity and I no longer romanticize spaces that value mere vanity over vision and impact.

I’m fiercely making my stride into Hispanic Heritage Month, Domestic Violence Awareness & Mental Health Awareness Month in October to focus on raising awareness through events and strategic partnerships.

I walk with the highest of honor in rooms blessed with discernment and self-awareness that the unique experience, perspective and value I bring through everything that previously worked against me - now works in alignment. I shine my radiant light on behalf of all those who can’t be in the room with me, I represent with pride.

I’m a multidimensional woman, first in my generation to create her career on her own terms, build her legacy, and decide which partnerships honor my value. Designed for entrepreneurship, I’ve navigated ADHD, generalized anxiety, C-PTSD and healing while building a brand that amplifies purpose, to prove that trusting yourself when the outcome is unseen is power. And that can’t ever be taken from you, it’s earned.

Walk with the confidence of all you’ve conquered, the resilience of all the ancestors before you, speak louder than words.

Being everything you are is what separates you, Embody your heart’s motives in all you are and all you do. 💫

✨ Proud to support and spotlight Latinx-owned businesses that pour love, legacy, and culture into every bite.

Today’s spotlight is on a family recipe passed down through three generations of women, inspired by Grandmother Luz, the sounds of an NYC childhood, and the warmth of Puerto Rican heritage. 🇵🇷 Their Budín de Pan, made with love in the heart of Queens was felt. Upon my Moms first taste test, she said it reminded her of mi abuela’s cooking, a powerful reminder that food isn’t just nourishment, it’s memory.

I discovered them while doing double duty hosting on the main stage at 2025🎤🍽️ sneaking in time for bites in between conducting interviews with attendees and vendees. As a Queen originally from Queens, it felt so special to savor something that tasted like home. 🥹

Food has always been a love language in our culture. A way we connect, heal, and honor where we come from. Let’s keep celebrating and uplifting the flavors, stories, and families behind Latinx-owned businesses. 💛

Still feeling the pride and energy from Bad Bunny’s Uno Más concert livestream 🌴🇵🇷

While I couldn’t attend his residency in Puerto Rico, the livestream brought me back to the island, feeling at home right here in Nueva York. 🗽

I joined the viewing party at , a local BX business that tirelessly uplifts Boricua voices, cultura, and comunidad authentically. Experiencing this night alongside the 2025 Bronx Puerto Rican Cultural Pageant royal court— our 1st and 2nd princesses, & and our rey también was truly inspiring. Their professionalism and dedication to turning words into action remind us that we are the change we wish to see.

This moment was especially powerful, taking place during Hispanic Heritage Month and on the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a reminder of our strength, our roots, and how far we’ve come. Bad Bunny’s residency in Puerto Rico attracted over 475,000 fans and generated an estimated $380 million in economic impact, showcasing the influence of our culture. His Uno Más livestream shattered Amazon Music’s viewership records, becoming the most-watched single-artist performance on the platform to date.

This year has been monumental for Boricuas making an impact through our roots, our culture, and our passion. May we continue to honor our heritage, uplift one another, and shine the light of nuestra cultura everywhere we go.

✨ This past weekend at I had the honor of celebrating the official start of Hispanic Heritage Month at the Latin Food Festival 2025!

As an event ambassador and content creator, I captured stories from 70+ food vendors, sponsors, and attendees, amplifying Latin voices and celebrating cultura with pride. 🌎❤️

I co-hosted my first-ever competition challenge alongside Telemundo, Yessir, and had the honor of announcing the “Drama Mama” award for the most passionate Latina! Stepping outside my comfort zone as an introvert reminded me that the legacy I want lives on the other side of my fears.

Building this platform from the ground up has given me a table I can proudly sit at and now, a door to open for others. As a Latina creator and entrepreneur, taking up space authentically moves the world in ways you can’t imagine, until you align with your purpose. ✨

Here’s to celebrating culture, community, and representation - lifting each other up, one story, one plate, and one voice at a time Porque unidos somos más fuerte!

🎤 Being on the panel at the Launch Party reminded me exactly why I chose this path - to stand in rooms full of visionaries, speak life into them, and leave behind words that ripple far beyond that moment.

I feel most aligned with my purpose in the career I’ve outlined for myself when I’m in spaces full of individuals who resonate with the intention behind the work we pour into, those who share the desire to build a legacy bigger than themselves.

I feel proudest when I can take the lessons I’ve endured, the trials, the healing, the resilience and translate them into power. To scan the audience, make eye contact with every individual in the room, and know my words have the potential to leave a lasting imprint.

If even one person walks away believing in their own light a little more, and goes on to shine it boldly in every space they enter, every path they walk then they’ll pass that torch on, until one day they’re the ones on stage, pouring truth into the next generation. That’s how impact multiplies. That’s how culture shifts. That’s how we become the blueprint.

I’ll never offer the standard advice you can find with a quick search. What I bring is authentic lived experience, transparent truths about the intricacies of this path: navigating mental health, overcoming adversity, creating opportunities, and owning the representation I once searched for.

Blessed to see another year of life and to have made it this far, becoming the woman I am today. ✨ It’s been a complex, beautiful journey so far and my gratitude is immense. Thank you to every individual who extended birthday wishes and love; I send that warmth right back to you in abundance.

The older I get, the more intricate birthdays feel. There’s a subconscious pressure to be more, to do more, to surpass the version of me from the year before. Truthfully, I spent a lot of this year being unkind to myself. I’m a woman with otherworldly goals, unorthodox dreams, and a creative spirit so vibrant that being misunderstood has become part of my story. Maybe that’s exactly what makes the testimony so powerful, because I will succeed despite it all. The very things that separate me are the very things I embrace proudly.

With dreams as ambitious as mine, it’s easy to stay locked into the “what’s next”, the next idea, the next strategy, the next level-up. But sometimes I forget to acknowledge how far I’ve already come. The dreams I once whispered to myself and built in silence have already bloomed into existence - walked red carpets, seen my face on a billboard in Times Square, been crowned Queen in a Puerto Rican cultural pageant, monetized my art, and built community rooted in real impact.

When you’re constantly raising the bar, you can forget to recognize your own progress. In this new year, I honor myself. For the way I’ve poured into the assignment God placed on my life, and for how my inner child would be in awe with twinkled eyes of admiration if she saw all the lived stories in my camera roll or sat down in the audience to hear me speak on a panel preaching the words I once needed to hear most. I’ve turned pain into poetry, vulnerability into resilience, mental health battles into authentic connection, and purpose into a movement bigger than myself.

Here’s to more growth, more softness, more joy, and more radical self-celebration. New chapter. Same Jessica, just bolder and wiser with every year that I welcome with open arms. 🌞✨

Grateful for another year of life that I’m blessed to experience 🙏🏽✨
A year of continued opportunities, open doors, personal + professional evolution, even more dreams fulfilled, and the joy of moving in alignment with my purpose. Every day is a chance to honor the assignment God gave me, and I don’t take that lightly. It is my responsibility to fulfill the purpose placed in my heart and vision only I can uniquely see, into full fruition.

Thank you for celebrating me with so much energy, corazón, alma y espíritu — on a Monday evening, no less!
💃🏽✨ If you’re looking for a beautiful spot to celebrate with friends or family, este lugar is perfect for birthdays, milestones, or simply to toast to you for making it another day, because you deserve to be the main character in your story. Because guess what? You ARE. Don’t you ever shrink your presence, dim your radiant bright light or humble how far you’ve come so far in your journey because only you know how deserving you are of a celebration.

Whether your birthday is coming up this Virgo season, or you just want to honor yourself for everything you are and all you are becoming, remember: you are worthy. Surround yourself with people and places who echo that message. And if anyone ever says you can’t sit at their table? Create your own and invite others who believe in you to join. Or you can sit with me anytime. 🫶🏽🎉
