Starting a new year today and I am just like, feeling increasingly lucky for the life I get to live, grateful for the people I love in it that make it so full, blessed by the individuals I get to work with and learn from, stoked that thereās always more to strive for, and honestly worried that Iāll be thrown into the Boston harbor.
My birthday wish, if you just have a second, is instead of typing happy birthday you follow a mutual aid org doing important work for something you care about, Iāll put some links on my story.
Some quick pics (first two obviously) from the hot girl pop up with @alissarosestudio

There probably arenāt adequate words for this one, but somewhere in the past thereās a 6 year old Celeste sitting on the porch in Cabo Rojo telling her Abuelo sheās going to be a dancer one day. This one was a dream come true.
@badbunnypr gracias por ser un campeon para Puerto Rico. Ha sido un honor.
@charmladonna you already know. Iāll always be grateful.
@karinaortiz_pr you amaze me. Enhorabuena!!
@_melanymercedes whipped our salsa shoes (and shoulders) into shape.
@itsjovannisoto we wouldāve been lost without you.
@musikhoodtheory thanks for being there from the beginning.
Last, but not least, Iād like to say thank you God for making me Puerto Rican!! I won the lottery there.
THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.
