Alright, let’s begin this coaching relationship by being real.  

I fiercely believe that we are our ancestors' wildest dreams, we carry the innate wisdom of generations and have the potential to build powerful legacies as leaders. I am a Dominican-American Latina, eldest daughter of immigrant parents, born and raised in Harlem and Washington Heights, NYC. My people were farmers, small business owners, teachers, community organizers and healers. 

In my culture, when someone asks: “Como estás?/How are you?” you'll hear the common response, “Aqui en la lucha/Here in the struggle.”

While struggle can be a powerful tool to build resilience, it can move us into a the proverbial hamster wheel of always being in survival mode. We need to thrive, not just survive as leaders. Raíces Coaching and Consulting was born from a desire to hold, love and push Black, Brown, Indigenous, Latinx and People of Color to stand in their purpose and power as leaders.
