What do you like about being Latina?

Being Latina is a privilege, I have the best culture, the racial mixture that distinguishes us is the greatest gift. Being friendly, cheerful, kind, and above all, our Caribbean flavor is the best.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

I am an actress, singer and dancer. I love musical theater. I played María in the musical of west side story in Mexico and Luisa in Los Fantástikos in Puerto Rico.

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

In my wardrobe you will find mostly earth colors, but I always have vibrant colors and of course you can not miss the basic white and black pieces.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

My favorite designer at the moment is Zuhair Murad. His style is extremely elegant and high fashion, all his pieces have so much dreamy details.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

Zendaya is a fashion icon, she is not afraid to use any garment, she uses vibrant colors and unique designs that make her stand out in red carpets. She is an inspiration. Another girl that fascinates me is Blake Lively, from her most daring styles to her elegance, every piece she wears is a show.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

Within five years, I see myself creating a non-profit company where the arts are involved with the purpose of raising funds to improve facilities in public schools in my country and continue promoting values through the arts around the world. I want to be an example and motivation for everyone who wants a better world. I also want to work on a musical, television and series, while continue growing as an artist.

GYV

Latino-owned business
GYV

The inspiration for GYV came to me on one sunny afternoon while I was enjoying a Raspado de Mango, a sweet, tangy treat of shaved ice with mango, lime, and a hint of chile. At that moment, I reflected on how the flavors and fragrances that are so prevalent in my life have become global trends, disconnected from the people and land that first cultivated them in Mesoamerica. Ingredients like vainilla, maìz, and calabaza are sold in products across the globe but are only known as vanilla, corn, and pumpkin, with little or no mention of their origin. Here at GYV, we are in the business of positive change. Our mission is to touch the hearts of as many people as possible, and we want you to be part of our efforts to make a difference.

With every purchase, we will GYV a portion of our proceeds to charity. Our passion for Mesoamerican staples, voices, flavors, and fragrances will guide our efforts to find and support organizations who are nurturing and improving the communities that inspire us.

Current Charity Highlight: 

Fondo Guadalupe Musalem

Our motto is GYV Hope, GYV Love, GYV Freedom JUST GYV. This we believe starts you on the right path. Hope in yourself and your product, Love your mission, and never stop GYVing.
