An overdue recap of the @pcaamerica National Conference - #TogetherForPrevention2023 , where I presented” How to Use Storytelling for Digital Advocacy.”
Speaking at this event fueled my fire to continue this work. I was so humbled by the comments of attendees on how they would apply what they learned about storytelling and the impact it will have as they work with families.
Prevent Child Abuse America is the nation’s oldest and largest organization committed to preventing child abuse and neglect before it happens.
They promote programs and resources informed by science that enable kids, families, and entire communities to thrive—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
Some guests in my reel:
Dr. Melissa Merrick (@mtpelaez17 ), President and CEO of PCA America
Baltimore Mayor, Brandon M. Scott (@mayorbmscott).
Dr. Clinton Boyd Jr. (Founder of Father, Families, and Healthy Communities)
Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha (@monahannaattisha ), author of “What the Eyes Don’t See” #Flint
Amazing VIP dinner with amazing people (and an Orioles baseball game!), including the amazing Lara Melnik.
Pictures with attendees, which included the incomparable Kinzie Lee (@leefamily_ga - #CDC ), and the remarkable
Tammy Hurley ( @
working_mom_02 - American Academy of Pediatrics)
I am so grateful for this experience and opportunity. <3 #TogetherForPrevention

WOOF!!! After so many years in the USA, I FINALLY feel seen.
The #Latin @ representation passes the @whollyart Litmus Test:
Accurate
Responsible
Respectful
Thank you @wbpictures @bluebeetle @toyotalatino @dcofficial for inviting me to the advanced screening and #DFW premiere of BLUE BEETLE.
#BlueBeetle pierces us emotionally as #Hispanic with all the “Easter Eggs” that only we feel deeply and can understand, and yet, it’s a film for everyone who loves intense action with heart.
With positive messages galore, a powerful dramatic plot, a KILLER soundtrack, and a stellar diverse cast and crew, this movie is #Oscars worthy and it will become your new favorite #superhero movie.
Thank you #DC universe for the hero we deserved and we’ve been waiting for.
#BlueBeetleMovie comes to theaters on August 18th. Don’t miss it and watch it with someone as cool as you, just like I watched it with @henrypixar and @raytwin <3
And comment #BlueBeetle if you want a chance to win a movie poster and a comic book. What? Yeah, that’s happening.

Elisha, Trent, and I went to see the ICONIC @Shania Twain in concert in #SaltLakeCity .
I have loved Shania “forever and for always” and “she’s still the one” 😂
But seriously, I laughed, cried, danced, sang along, did a split, and overall had a blast.
Let’s just say it did “impress me much” and brought out “the woman in me.”
But “honey, I’m home” now 😂 LOL
Who else loves #ShaniaTwain? I’m so happy I raised my daughters right and they love her too!

The girls and I are so grateful to @Ford Latino for an amazing weekend experiencing the fútbol passion at the Ford Copita Alianza. We had a blast!
It’s the largest Hispanic youth tournament in the U.S. – with more than 700 teams joining in 2023. The event is back for its third consecutive year and is hitting Chicago, Dallas, Denver, El Paso, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Jose.
Thank you Ford Latino for partnering with the Alianza de Futbol and supporting the sports development of young Hispanics in this country!

Here comes the Summer Sun!
Elisha and I had a hand-holding stroll at the Provo Mall and a fun @@sunglasshut shopping spree, thanks to @Sunny at @Mom 2.0 Summit
We both love our new @Ray-Ban shades, and the Wayfarer Reverse style is awesome!
And what’s cool 😎 is that it can remind us of Sunny’s mission to reverse the trend of loneliness and isolation, so we can enjoy more meaningful and supportive connections.
Tag someone you want to spend quality time with this Summertime. 💜

My heart is SO FULL. The power of community was EPIC at the inaugural (SOLD OUT) #ThoughtLeaderTalks . We had people from every coast - 24 cities across 6 states.
I just can’t believe that everything we created was just ideas in my head a few weeks ago. As the curator, I am proud of each and every one of my speakers... Dr. Alicia Shelly, Mary Cheyne, Mary Ottman, Mariah Edgington, Byron Edgington, Brianna Ruelas, Jossie Haines, April Hove, and Mike Iskandar.
Their talks and the ideas they shared on the panel were life-changing.
I keep hearing about how much value, inspiration, and direction our attendees received and how precious the connections they made. The gratitude was palpable... and speaking of gratitude...
I’m so grateful to Thought-Leader for not only giving me the opportunity to design, organize, and host this event, but the autonomy to create every detail just as I envisioned it, and the support I needed every step of the way. You know you’re in the right community when the leaders embody the values they preach.
And a big shout out to my AMAZING volunteers, to the incomparable staff at the Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown Hotel, to the exceptional AV team at Encore Global, to the wonderful Mark Liberio of Tetra Media Group, the incredible Scott Peek Photography, and Ashley & Kat of Zayds Beauty!
Stay tuned because I’m also organizing other events in other cities and the hosts and I will be featuring other amazing speakers, providing more valuable gifts, and creating heart-centered spaces for us to gather.
I am soooo loving this process and am committed to excellence, love, and impact, every step of the way. This is only the beginning!

What an amazing weekend speaking at #TEDxMCPHS . I’m so grateful to the TEDx MCPHS team for embodying excellence and supporting and guiding me through every step of the way.
I am also so grateful for my fellow speakers Yolanda Lewis and Jimi. It was like we were sisters who never met before and our messages are so aligned.
I loved interacting with the audience, answering their questions, and hearing how life-changing our messages were. What an incredible experience and such amazing people.
I also was blessed to have my best friends Esther Grullon and Scarlet come see me speak, as well as Tomi and her mom, Faith.
My heart is full. Thank YOU and Thank You, God. Amen 🙏🏽
