About Me
I was born in Sfax, Tunisia to a Cuban mother. I left Tunisia as a baby, and my mother brought me to New York City where I lived most of my life. Growing up, I was culturally confused to say the least! I was raised by my Cuban mother, in a family with Cuban, Italian, Colombian, and Spanish influences. I never knew where I belonged. I used to joke when people asked me my nationality that I was Nuyorquina (a New Yorker) because NYC is the perfect blending of cultures which I felt represented me.
Traveling opened up my eyes to the world, and becoming a mother made me realize the importance of protecting it. That is why I embarked on a sustainable-ish lifestyle. I try to be conscious of my choices to protect our home, our kids, and above all, our planet.
