My life has been a masterclass in resilience. Born in Puerto Rico to a Cuban father and a New York-born mother, I learned early that love, faith, and resourcefulness are the true riches. Despite not finishing college, I carved my own path with determination, inspired by parents who built a life in Miami from nothing.
Through heartbreak-a narcissistic ex, a devastating miscarriage, financial struggles, and a toxic boss-I never lost faith. With God and my children as my anchors, I turned adversity into strength. Today, I am the proud founder of Candles by M&M, a business born from grit and fueled by love.
This story is a testament to perseverance: no matter the obstacle, with faith, family, and determination, anything is possible.
