That time New York felt like home.

Life is so subtle sometimes that we hardly notice ourselves walking through the doors we once prayed would open. Now here I am, grateful to have shared this dream with two incredible people. I couldn’t have asked for better friends to explore my first year in New York City with. I’ll forever cherish our first apartment together and all the memories we made.

This video is dedicated to Nikki and Sophie.

Meet my grandmother, Rita Patricia.

An entrepreneur who embodies the strength, empowerment, and passion of a Nicaraguan woman. Every Friday, she travels to the heart of Nicaragua, Mercado Masaya, where she goes through the produce while she simultaneously greets old friends. Mercado Masaya is not merely a market; it is a living poem, where our local people come together as one.
