Facing My Financial Fears With #ConquerYourCredit

Facing My Financial Fears With #ConquerYourCredit

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Chase and #WeAllGrow Latina Network. All thoughts are my own. Money scares me. My entire family had immigrated to the States less than 10 years before I was born, so in a way, they were learning about finance and credit while I was a child. Nothing was taught to me, nothing was ever said to me about anything involving money, so I never really … [Read more...]

Exclusive Interview with Gina Prince-Bythewood on Beyond The Lights

Exclusive Interview with Gina Prince-Bythewood on Beyond The Lights

  Gina Prince-Bythewood’s Beyond the Lights is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated movies of 2014. On the surface it may seem like another show business story along the lines of A Star is Born, but to label it as such would be completely unfair and would simply rob of you of the chance to watch a well written and beautifully acted motion picture. I got to have this exclusive … [Read more...]

Moxie Jean For The Holidays

Having a fashion crazed daughter is expensive but, I mean, who can fault her? Clothes are fun, and she expresses who she is through them. Growing up, I went through my fair share of styles and clothing statements, and since I had siblings, I had lot of options to chose from by shopping sister's closet and later on, my brother's too. My baby is an only child, but I want her to have a similar … [Read more...]

It's even more fun when it's a movie I have been awaiting all year. This past Sunday, I got to cover the red carpet for The Book of Life with Fandango Family and wow, was it a … [Read more...]
