Unapologetic Visibility…This Is My Journey  

All my life, I wanted to be a television news reporter. I had big aspirations to be on Good Morning America or host on the red carpet for E! While I had this passion for broadcast television, I developed a deep love for the internet. In my AOL days, I learned how to build a personal brand and community online. My journey into entrepreneurship & stepping onto prestigious stages, like the TEDx Stage, started over a decade ago. I was eager to launch my career as a reporter. However, every time I would interview for an entry-level position I was often told that I didn’t look the part, would have to change my look, or worse, a FLAT OUT NO!

When I saw how influential online and social media platforms were starting to become, I took my destiny into my own hands and launched my first company, “The Social Butterfly Gal” in 2015. At the time, it was a blog-turned-social media management company. Throughout the first couple of years in business, I was working with clients on managing their social media, and content strategy, hosting and organizing private influencer events, and of course, leading workshops and training and speaking on stages. One night while networking, I realized that I was often the only Latina in the room and also realized the gaps and disparities when it came to business education and resources for minority businesswomen. 18 months after that networking event, Summer of 2018, I launched my second business, a conference called, Hustle + Socialize. And in 2023, the two came together under one umbrella, forming a powerful and unstoppable force. 

That’s when I realized the importance of taking up space, confidently owning your story, building influential networks, and creating lasting community impact. I’ve won multiple awards, been on prestigious stages, and mentored countless business and community leaders.  At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to empowering Latina and Women of Color to become unapologetically visible, strategically connected, and deeply impactful in their communities. Whether through the transformative Hustle + Socialize Conference, strategic brand partnerships, coaching, or compelling speaking engagements, I provide the insights and strategies needed to elevate your brand, amplify your voice, and lead with confidence. My mission is to help you step into your power, build meaningful connections, and create lasting community impact!

I AM SO HAPPY YOU’RE HERE AND I CAN’T WAIT TO EMPOWER YOU TO BUILD YOUR LEGACY!
