I am officially a Puerto Rican Queen 🇵🇷👑🏆 Entering the Royal Court with FIRST Place Reina Title in The 39th Annual Annual Bronx Puerto Rican Day Parade Cultural Pageant🥇💐

An opportunity to enter a cultural pageant to honor my Boricua roots, in the Bronx. To authentically and unapologetically, serve as a representation of our bold cultura? To make the same ancestors that guide, bless and protects me daily, proud? YES, in a heartbeat. 

I had no pageant experience - but a lifetime of channeling the mindset of a Queen - who aims to impact and lead intentionally. Through confidence, built through investing years on inner self-work and healing which has transformed me into the embodiment of a powerful testimony. I am resilience amplified, miracles made out of sacrifices, impossible dreams manifested into fruition through passion, strengthened through trials I conquered - all weapons formed against me only fueled me to prosper, past limiting beliefs projected from those who can’t see the strength in softness, the empowerment in vulnerability. 

This path led me in full alignment to my purpose -to amplify voices, preserve our stories, unite community, & leverage the visibility of this platform to drive impact that uplifts. Through establishing partnerships, connecting with non-profit organizations, founders, politicians, and industry leaders - my vision is for us to recognize we are stronger as a collective. 

This Reina Title is an honor - but FAR greater than myself. It’s for Guánica. It’s for the Bronx. It’s for Nuyoricans. It’s for our beautiful Puerto Rican’s en la isla. It’s for my Latin community & people of color - you are seen, heard, and FELT. Take up space in EVERY room, never lower your voice or dim your LIGHT! ⭐️

I move forward - divinely guided - all the more connected to my history, more confident in my voice, & as committed than ever to my assignment. This crown is my responsibility to advocate to take aligned action. This win is OURS! 🏆

Con orgullo, con corazón, y con fuego sagrado. Unidos somos mas fuerte! 💪🏽🇵🇷 #nuyorican #nyc #bronx #prpride #boricua #guanica #prstrong #puertorican #latinawomen #hispanicheritage #badbunnylfff
