Exploring NYC and Me: A Vast World, Re-Embarking on the Artistic Journey with Purpose

-



In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to forget the rich diverse cultures, experiences, and opportunities that New York City has to offer. Recently, I had the chance to step out of my routine and immerse myself in one of these experiences at a gathering hosted by my non-profit organization R.Evolución Latina, we dedicated to artistic experiences for transformation and social change.

I arrived at the gathering feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity. Two events were happening simultaneously: a sound bath organized by Denisse Ambert and lead by Rebecca Gitana Torres and also we provided at the same time a dance class by the talented Matthew Steffens. As I reflect on the day, I can't help but feel a sense of pride for the team behind these events. OR TEAM! OUR LEADERS!!!! Despite being schedule not he same day and the same time, both gatherings were incredibly successful, drawing in a diverse crowd and leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.

Having to choose, I went for the sound bath, I entered the space and immediately felt transported. It was as if I had stepped into the depths of El Yunque, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. With each vibration, I could feel my body and spirit aligning, shedding away the stresses of daily life. But perhaps the most profound moment came from sharing this experience with others. As we embraced in hugs, I felt a sense of peace and connection wash over me, a gentle reminder of the importance of self-care and self-love.

In the midst of it all, a thought surfaced in my mind: "stop chasing". It was a simple yet powerful revelation, a reminder that I am already whole and that everything I desire will come to me in due time. With this newfound perspective, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, releasing the negative memories of the past and embracing a more conscious NOW and the way of living I strive towards.

Writing has always been a form of therapy for me, a way to reflect and grow. And so, as I pen down these thoughts, I do it not just for others but for myself—to heal, to evolve, to expand. And as I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery, I also encourage you to explore the myriad experiences that NYC has to offer: from sound baths to dance classes, from moments of stillness to moments of celebration.


As I stepped out of the gathering space and into the bustling streets of NYC, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for this great city and all it represents: diversity, resilience, and endless possibility.

Creating Space for Art and Connection

Do You Have a Space for Art That Transforms? There is a profound need for our voices, our stories, and our shared experiences to be heard—especially now, when the call for unity and understanding is stronger than ever. I stand for creating spaces where art and human connection intersect to inspire, empower, and transform. So I ask:  Do you have a space for me, for US? I mean it. Through every project, my goal is to share authentic stories that celebrate the richness of my Latin heritage and roots, and to honor the important power of art. Art can elevate, it can unite, it can bring us together in ways that truly matter. If you know of a theater space or need an Artistic Director ready to bring a battalion of artists to share their voices, I am ready—and so is my community. With each moment, I am reminded of the beauty and power of our voices, our cultural fusions, and the magic that happens when dance, theater, and storytelling come together with purpose. I see art as a path that co...

Embarking on a Theatrical Journey: A Personal Odyssey Through London's Theatrical Wonderland

  As I sit, writing from the clouds, I can't help but feel a surge of inspiration coursing through me. Enveloped by the DayDreamer playlist on my British Airways flight, memories of my travels to some of the most enchanting places on Earth flood my mind. London, Spain, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Thailand—each holds a special place in my heart, beckoning me back time and time again. Reflecting on my childhood, I recall the exhilaration of my first flight at the tender age of 9. Flying solo, I was treated to coconut ice cream by a kind flight attendant, a gesture that made me feel truly special. Those early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for travel and adventure, a passion I now share with my own son, who, at 9 years old, is discovering the joys of the arts and the challenges of staying true to oneself. But enough reminiscing—let's dive into the heart of the matter: London's vibrant theater scene. For me, London is more than just a destination; it's a haven for artistic...
