## Caption

A boricua 🇵🇷 brunch at @barriobx to celebrate the launch of a podcast (@failuresonlypod) uniquely about entrepreneurs who have embraced failure on the inevitable journey to success? Sounds like the ideal way to spend my weekend to me. 

I never felt I belonged anywhere growing up. And it wasn’t until I discovered who I truly am and the fullness of my purpose that I realized it was because I wasn’t being embraced, supported or validated not because there was something wrong with me. I was simply in the wrong rooms, and needed to discover communities of individuals built like me, with passion as enormous as mine, with purpose as monumental as mine, with ambition to build a legacy greater than myself, the way I envision. 

The more I placed myself on these rooms, even when I didn’t feel like I belonged there yet. The more I felt seen, recognized and understood by a community who has been there, done that and actively still doing it - pursuing greatness in every aspect of the word.

Thank you @pablosegarraesq for the invitation and flipping the script on Failure to be seen in a new light.
