Sazón y Corazón: Where Heritage Meets Modern Life

Helping busy Latina moms keep cultural traditions alive while thriving in today’s world

¡Bienvenidas a Tu Casa Cultural!

From Queens to Long Island, my journey of keeping our cultura alive continues. I’m Elisa Irvolino, your Dominican-American guide to blending our beautiful traditions with busy family life.

Growing up in Astoria, I was surrounded by the sounds, flavors, and vibrant Dominican culture of my community. But when I moved to Long Island, like many first and second-generation Latinas, I felt that cultural disconnect – trying to maintain traditions while juggling work, family, and everyday responsibilities.

Through my platform, I share the ‘sazón y corazón’ – the seasoning and heart – that helps you create a home where our culture naturally flows into daily life, not just something you have to make time for.
