I feel like I'm on fire today ๐ฅ

Wth. Things happen. People need to reschedule... How about being understanding and kind? Justification of this video in any form is gross.
The pain is so intense that I can't feel anymore.
I love you so much Daddy. I don't know how we are going to live without you. My best friend, my biggest supporter, my hero and the best man I will ever know. I just can't fathom reality right now.
I told one of my board members that we received notice that we were awarded a $250k grant that I applied for... His immediate response was "what do I get?". ๐ฅด
Today my first paid corporate board seat was officially announced ๐ I can not wait to be a part of the bank's initiatives in the areas of equity, accessibility and education for all!
... Another step forward!
I love connecting with people from Twitter. The reaction is always "wow you really are exactly who you are Twitter". Why is it so shocking for someone to be their authentic self in all areas? It has been a common topic of conversation as of late.
First Xmas as a single Mom.... I did it!
Egg Casserole โ๏ธ
Fruit Salad โ๏ธ
Cinnamon Rolls โ๏ธ
Nintendo Switch Set Up โ๏ธ
Toy Kitchen Built โ๏ธ
Home Made Cookies for Santa โ๏ธ

Night Cap for Mommy Santa โ๏ธ
Giving kids a normal and beautiful Xmas? Priceless.
Looking for Latinos to speak on topics (NFTS, Crypto, VC & other business related topics) for a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as an info session to the public on a Livestream
Do you have any suggestions or would you be interested in volunteering? 1-2 hr time investment
๐ Today I was very excited to hear that it is extremely likely that my second largest funder will double their commitment for the coming year and that it will be a multi-year commitment
Looking forward to hiring more staff, increasing our impact & moving towards sustainability
I DID IT! AT 11:58pm I submitted my first Federal Grant. I completed the ENTIRE THING with all supporting documents.
Nevermind the fact that it took 10x the amount of time that it will take me to complete foundational grants totaling more than 3x it's potential value! ๐ฅ
Yesterday I submitted a 1.1 million dollar grant....
... And today I did an interview for the New York Times.

Thank you for all of your help

Received commitments today from two funders today securing my salary and one full time employee for two years ๐ So much more to build out but a bit of security is always helpful.
Onward and upward ๐๐ฅ

What an honor! Thank you to the

๐ it has surely changed my life. I feel so blessed to have met so many of you, made lifelong friends and grown so much as an individual from the experience. Sending you all love, appreciation and good vibes.
HELP: Where can I purchase 40 laptops for a nonprofit program? They will be provided to underestimated low-income participants living in "opportunity zones" (high poverty & unemployment rates) who will be receiving training in nursing and construction and placed into jobs & more.
A founder behind me at Panera just told someone on the phone that he chose one candidate over another "well, he has a southern accent so let's take the other one" as a hiring final decision. ๐ฅด
Help!
I am seeking private, foundational and corporate sponsors for:
- accelerator program for Hispanic Founders (50k)
- tech training and jobs for Latinas (50k)
- scholarship program (financial and programmatic support for Latinx students) (50k)

Earlier this year I was in the first cohort of a fundraising course with the Forbes Funds.
This morning I am on my way to film pieces of a fundraising course that they will provide for others in the future.
Onward and upward!
It has been 2 years since we lost the greatest man we ever knew. Dad may be gone, but his love lives on in our hearts, guiding us every day. We miss him so much, but find comfort in knowing his spirit lives on in all we do. ๐๐

I'm sorry but they're just aren't men with the education and experience at that level in the field that you're looking for. I'm sure if you donate $5 to a men's charity and publicize everywhere that you support men, no one will even remember that you lacked men on your panel.
I don't often share personal pics on Twitter but I thought it would be nice to show you guys how big my kiddos have gotten. They will be 4 & 10 this year. โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐

In the last week I have lost 2 grandma's, my home hot water tank, my well pump & hit a deer.
Nothing is going to bring me down. Grateful that grandma's aren't suffering & just dealing w/ the other stuff as it comes.
I can't control anything but my attitude actions.
#KeepMoving
I know a lot of people are worried about us and I just wanted to tell you that your messages have been such a wonderful shining light in this time of darkness. Despite everything we are still smiling knowing how blessed we are to have had such a wonderful man in our lives...
I received a prestigious award.. then they sent me the packages to attend an event to receive my own award.. starting at $10,000....
This is not a nonprofit / fundraiser.
Thoughts?
Super feelin' myself today... Enough for Twitter selfie!
On my way to speak to a school about the economic impact of the Hispanic community nationwide & Hispanic American culture :)
It's official. I made it through the 13th Birthday party I've thrown for my children ๐ฅฐ๐ฅ my car is packed with balloons, gifts and delicious foods what a wonderful way to end an amazing weekend
Have you ever worked with someone who creates a problem for every solution? I am not talking productivity, but invalid, unrealistic and unrelated stress points seemingly for the sake of friction?
Asking for my sanity.
First date protip: Don't ask someone if they have a girlfriend, boyfriend, wife or in a relationship. Ask them if there is anyone else who thinks that they are in a relationship with them. You would be surprised how much these answers can vary.
What are you doing on this beautiful Saturday morning?
I'm busting out the spring colors to teach a leadership and digital strategy course for Coro and the New Leaders Council and I'm so excited to test out the additions I made to the course content I created at 6:00 a.m.
Do not trust people with your ideas. You will see very quickly who your real friends are and who the real opportunists/capitalists are...
Especially when they stop talking to you while pursuing your idea...
Just wow.

This is not Instagram but how do we feel about selfies on Twitter every once in a while? Feeling myself enough to step out of the norm.... This is me twitter fam. ๐๐คฃโฅ๏ธ

As a high achiever with ADHD & the anxiety that goes w/it, ChatGPT has unlocked new levels of productivity. Tasks that felt difficult to embark on, I plug it in to CGPT & (while I may not even use the output) it gives me a sense of having started. Anxiety points disappear. ๐ฅ๐
My two major grantors told me today that they are doubling from the previous years and doing multi year grants.... The catch? Due Weds and Fri. ๐คฃ
LFG. ๐ฅ๐
People who only love you when they get their way don't really love you.
Friends who only want to talk when things are bright and sparkly aren't friends.
Business partners who expect you to do all the work while they take all the credit aren't partners.
I booked 3 paid speaking engagements this past week without even knowing it.... I think my assistant may be the 4th love of my life (after my children and future husband, of course ๐)!
When you don't get to a message in time and someone shows their true colors... Not removing the handle or name.
I do not follow this person. I don't know them irl. I've never interacted to them.
I owe you nothing bro โ๏ธ
I hate the phrase "Fake it 'till you make it". It should be "Fake it till you fake it" because who really has it all figured out? Never. Stop. Growing.
People will despise you simply for the fact that others like you. They will hate you because you are succeeding. If you don't have haters you need to work harder ๐คฃ
Today I heard someone say "children from broken homes" and I spoke up and said "divorce didn't break our family, it fixed it..."
๐๐ฅด Labeling is bs.
There is no need to work with people who suck your energy or treat you poorly. There are plenty of brilliant, amazing and kind people out there to still thrive without disturbing your peace.
