My team and I traveled to the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York and created a video of the Vibram V-Train 2.0. Having a personal connection to the V-Train 2.0 by wearing them for my weight and cardio training, what we produced was more than just a marketing tool, it was a testimony to the enduring quality and versatility of the product. We aimed to highlight how the V-Train 2.0 excels in natural, rugged environments as much as it does in controlled gym settings. The Catskill Mountains provided the perfect backdrop, allowing us to showcase the shoes’ grip, flexibility, and durability across diverse terrains. By personally engaging in the physical activities, from trail running to climbing and even performing yoga poses, I was able to demonstrate how the V-Train 2.0 supports performance at every step. This project wasn’t just about promoting a product; it was about sharing an authentic experience, merging passion with purpose, and ultimately creating a visual story that speaks to the strength of the brand.

Here’s to the great matriarchs of my past and present! 🇲🇽 With strength and courage they overcame so much so that we could have a better life. •
• Zacatecas, MX ~1975, (L to R) my oldest sister, my grandmother, and my mom between two of my grandmother’s aunts. My grandmother was 3yrs old when her family fled to Nuevo Laredo during the Mexican Revolution. She raised 10 kids. 🌹
•
• My mom and me at my 7th birthday party. I remember being made fun of by some church kids for my raspberry colored Converse high tops. My mom always had my back. She still does. The hardest I’ve ever cried in my life was when I came out to her. She promised to always love, protect, and defend me.🍓🏳️🌈

•Grandma & Grandpa Solis with my siblings and me. It was our weekly tradition to visit after church every Sunday. I miss her cooking and sweet tea. 🏆 She raised 7 kids.
•
•Growing up, I saw my mom work tirelessly to support my dad in making ends meet. And with 5 kids all clamoring for her attention, she did her best to make sure we each felt special. I am forever grateful for her determination and unconditional love. Happy Mother’s Day to the strongest women I know! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
