Sassy, Smart Modern Mama – I Am Orgullosa! #Orgullosa

Orgullosa_Logo_300

For most of my life- I tried to fit in. I spent my child years always wanting blue eyes or light hair. My teen years wanting to be thinner, or looking like one of the girls on TV. In my twenties, living on the East Coast, I almost never spoke Spanish because I didn't want to be labeled as the "latina girl."

I have been a fan of music for as long as I could hear. I had my first walkman at the age of 6, and I have run through probably hundreds of headphones since that very first set. Always striving for an incredible sound but, this being LA, I didn't want to look "uncool." I needed something that would sound great but look just as good. Sol Republic a company that believes the same thing. Not only … [Read more...]
