As a Dominican-American mom who moved from vibrant Queens to suburban Long Island, I know firsthand the challenge of keeping our cultura alive while juggling modern family life. My journey of cultural reconnection began at a Sofrito Sunday with Latina Moms Connect—where I found a room full of women just like me, caught between two worlds. That moment sparked my mission: to help busy Latina moms weave heritage into everyday life without it feeling like another task. With over 20 years of experience in cooking, home design, and travel planning, I bring together all aspects of Latina living. Whether it’s simplifying abuela’s recipes for weeknight dinners, adding cultural touches to your home, or planning meaningful trips to reconnect with your roots—I’m here to help your familia thrive with sazón y corazón.
