I built my blog brand while juggling a full time job, having a tight budget, being a mom & wife, and earning a doctoral degree in Educational Leadership. I studied the power of community and how it helps special educators effectively support students. Good stuff, right?

I’m a Educational Psychologist with decades of experience working with youth, families, and mental health. I got lucky and get to do what I love! 

It’s my belief that, as Women, we can be multi-faceted and blend substance with style. All with joy, of course. I love being Midsize. Read about that here. 

I am a bilingual Spanish speaking (working on the writing) Dominican American, an Afrolatina. I am both Black and Latina and wouldn’t have it any other way. Es parte de lo que soy!

I live in the Greater Los Angeles area with my husband and two kids. I’m not perfect or preachy, just trying like everyone else. I’m so glad you are here!
