Best Self
“It’s no secret that you can’t be the best anything if you aren’t your best self.” Grey Huffington By: Gabriela Yareliz I am devising a plan to feel like I have a life again. Our habits and days are made of choices, and lately, it feels like all I do is work, commute (another full-timeContinue reading “Best Self”
Yo No Perreo
By: Gabriela Yareliz I will never forget a funny friend who told me proudly that he had seen a Puerto Rican artist’s music video. “The one with the women in the bikinis dancing,” he told me. “You are going to have to narrow it down,” I told him. “That is basically every music video.” IContinue reading “Yo No Perreo”
