Fun fact: our first date was to see El Torito at a club in NJ. Our 1st kiss was while dancing una bachatica😍 yes bachata is depressing & miserable AF but the amargue makes for the great dancing y se baila apretaito😉
Todo comenzó bailando y seguimos ahí @suazosquad
Ese swing 🇩🇴 got us 4 kids y mucho🔥🤭
Dale Mamasota que viva el amor🫶🏼

Somebody asked “what country is that story from?” Heard you I got you😉 pa que no se confundan.
Sometimes I’m shy about reppin my flag or disimulando cuz I can be loud & proud AF but @amorcollectiveaz I’ve learned to show up as my full self with my chest out unapologetically. It is a welcoming community full of proud Latina business owners & it feels like home.
Stop by to support over 30 Latina owned brands there is something pa’ to el mundo. Grab a copy of Xander’s Linda Manita or an affirmation bookmark by a Latina for Latinas. Yes, there are Dominicans in Arizona🇩🇴

Loca enough to make my wildest dream come true🥹
As a first Gen Dominican from Washington Heights, lover of words, writer & LOCA this moment is everything to me.
I’ve been called Loca my entire life to the point I almost thought it was my name🤦🏻♀️ about one year ago I had the privilege to receive an ARC of Loca. It was my favorite book of 2025. It is a classic in real time. @aleherex wrote the book WE needed. This book is a must read for first gen Dominicans, madres, millennials & beyond. It is an honor to have my blurb on the back of the paperback edition out en el mundo 2/10
Thank you @yahdon & @simonbooks for the opportunity to share my words & love for books 🤎

May your week be as strong as your cafecito 😉
this sound calms me every time🧘🏻♀️ it’s magical✨
What you see:
Happy healthy championship kids
Happy AF parents

Happy family of 6
What you don’t see:
Boogers
Dry coughs
Sleepy parents
Checklist in moms head
Dad making sure everybody good
Tio making sure mom & dad have this calm moment
Our village is small but mighty. We are doing our best adjusting as we go. Behind every pic there’s a story, a real life y un mundo. Pause to enjoy it but embrace the process of life. The messy, emotional, boring and wtf ese es el punto, punto😉
Grateful to be on the ride of life🎢 I learned to buckle up porque la vida si que da vuelta that’s how you become a Mamasota ✨

Dichos can be toxic but if you go beyond the back handed compliments & tough love the message is a great life lesson that can lift you up in low moments.
“No te dejes caer” has kept me going when I just wanted to lay down & die. Cuz at the end of the day staying down won’t solve shit. This dicho used to make me anxious but I learned what Mami & the rest of the mujeres meant was pause, breathe y sigue que tu puedes there’s always more.
What’s your favorite dicho?

The other day I found a great event aligned with two of my fave things art & healing. At first, I wasn’t going to go cuz it was during dinner & bath time. But then I reminded myself I’m always home y una noche wasn’t going to kill anyone but I might regret not going.
Thankfully I went because @craftychica poured into me through water color & her words!!! As a stay at home mama of 4 it feels “hard” to do things for me but it’s really not. Hard is all in my head. I need to keep doing things chin a chin because I’m working around my kids. My dreams, my truth & life will always be there i just need to be patient, creative & let go of perfecta to make it all happen.
Now that I’m one year postpartum I’m vowing to 1 event per month sola just for me. Watever makes me happy & adds to my life as Vanessa la mujer.

For Mother’s Day my bro gifted me peonies. He brought them over hella excited with instructions. I said “bueno” cuz I’m not taking care of anything else. But these beauties adjusted to me & have been putting on a show.
I’ve never experienced peonies. They put on un show. Day 1 they were heavy round balls. Today, Day 2 I woke up to fully bloomed flowers. They’ve been opening more throughout the day & I’ve been sending pics to my bro.
Me dejaron con la boca abierta😅 que belleza & lesson as always. They appear “dead” pero ahora es que le falta ✨
I love when the universe shows me what I need. I’m shifting again. Feeling a little defeated, a little what now but God is moving even when I feel like I’m standing still. There’s always more. Especially after rest. Pink Peonies mean good luck & prosperity, para ti Mamasota✨

I prayed for discipline, motivation, grace and abundance, God blessed me with madre life.
At first, I was stressed and I didn’t understand. But over the last 6 years becoming a stay at home mama has taught me grace with my husband, discipline with my children, motivation to keep going & abundance of love. I am living & creating my wildest dreams as I go.
Mami is the foundation of my big heart & my peleona personality. I dream because Mami’s dreams began en el campo en Salcedo, RD and now I’m running with them en el mundo.
My hands are full of hope, dreams, love & possibilities. Mama is my greatest title & promotion. God appointed & I’m learning to steward these gifts.
To every madre nurturing, protecting, providing, serving & beyond through tears, sleepless nights, pain, worry & more KEEP GOING. Ask for help, find your people, you are not alone. You are on the greatest journey on earth, you are a Mamasota✨
The crown is heavy, adjust as needed but sigue pa’lante 👑
Happy Mother’s Day✨🌺🌹🌻✨

Raising them taught me I’m raising myself at the same time. I’m responsible for all of us, starting with me.
April rocked me, me dio duro🤦🏻♀️ I resisted, fought, attempted to do shit my way then my spirit friend said, “maybe you haven’t adjusted to having 4 kids” wtf?!?! I thought, excuse me y quien eres tu?!?! It took me a while to realize she was right. She zoomed out and saw my struggle for what it was. Hija perfecta trying to do shit “right” or “bien hecho” while in a season that is not mine alone. I’m evolving while raising developing humans. I haven’t adjusted myself to their rhythm I’m trying to squeeze them into mine. So claro I was struggling. Claro I was not meeting my unrealistic goals. Perfecta had me feeling like a failure. Like I was a bum bitch. But thankfully my spirit friend can see & feel me. After a tantrum I listened.
At the end of April, I signed up to a few workshops & events that feed my spirit sola. That feed & honor my truth. The page & words always bring me back to myself. So I journaled, pulled cards & sat still with my oldest & youngest as my anchors & constant reminder that I’m enough & im doing something right. More than one thing actually.
Estamos bien. De camino a mejor pero con paciencia y fe con mucho amor. April showered me with hella faith. May is making space for me to bloom sin miedo con calma🧘🏻♀️ making moves like the Mamasota I know I was made to be.
Planner @berootedco undated I am enjoying this format it pushes me to show up & keep it realistic but fun, the pages are perfect for markers
Journal @dreamandmanifestjournal I love the pages & random prompts sprinkled throughout
Cards @ambition.mischief perfect for Mamasota energy
