As a child of a Puerto Rican mother (who grew up in Manhattan) and an Italian-American father (who grew up in Queens, New York), the fusion of these backgrounds brought about a lively upbringing – to say the least! Embracing and navigating these two distinct cultures coming together allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for diversity. I was raised in Queens – renowned for being one of the most ethnically diverse places on the planet. The multicultural tapestry, exposure to different languages and traditions, and the celebration of various cultures created an environment that nurtures open-mindedness, acceptance, and an appreciation for the human experience. 

Being a hispanic woman-owned business is both a privilege and a responsibility. It is a chance to challenge stereotypes, inspire others, and contribute to positive change. As women continue to make strides in the business world, I aim to build a more equitable and diverse landscape, where every individual's entrepreneurial potential can thrive regardless of gender or ethnicity.
