Together We Can Help

One of my daughters, who lives in Los Angeles, was forced to evacuate due to the fires.

After she had safely evacuated, she sent me a picture with the message, “Mom, look at what I took.” It was two of my college sweaters that she kept. Yes, they are very old

I imagine that in the chaos of leaving everything behind, she grabbed what she could and I am assuming that besides what was valuable and important, she thought about those items that, though simple, held the deepest meaning and connection to home. When I saw the photo, I gulped and I shed a few tears.

This moved me deeply, because it’s a reminder of what we do in times of crisis… we grab what we can, often without thinking, but driven by a desire to hold onto something that connects us to our memories, our safety, and our sense of home.

For so many, though, this connection is lost forever. The survivors of these fires are facing the unimaginable - losing everything that grounded them.

I’m incredibly grateful that my daughter and her home are safe, but I can’t stop thinking of the countless others with huge losses who are now struggling, feeling uncertainty, or are without the memories, belongings, and sense of security that make a house a home.

In times like these, it’s essential to show compassion and support to those who’ve lost it all.

Let’s come together to help those impacted by the Los Angeles fires.

We have worked hard, contributed extensively, and continue to show that adding our Spanish, Latino background and unique experiences, enhances everything we do.

I thank the USA for providing my family and I unparalleled opportunities. #gracias

Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15 to October 15 every year as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latino community.

Supporting Big Causes

It is a great honor for me to have been invited by my dear friend @barbarapalacios_inspiracion to serve as an ambassador to her incredible foundation @movedtoserverinternational ☀️

Being a Board Director and Trustee of Women in Distress of Broward County, supporting Barbara is also supporting a cause that has been close to my heart for over 21 years.

Moved to Serve International aims to support organizations that help alíviate the domestic violence crisis we have in Latin America and here in the United States.

Barbara has handpicked an absolutely remarkable group of women for this Ambassador Committee and I am humbled and committed to do my best.

Thank you Barbara, your team, and fabulous family for allowing me to play a tiny part in this great cause.

Amazing women in my life

I am so fortunate to have so many amazing women in my life 💕
Women that inspire me everyday with their kindness, friendship, intelligence and that also make me laugh.
Women that make time to share a conversation, a meal or a glass of wine.
