👋🏽 Hey, ¿Cómo estás, ?

¡Hola hola! This week’s edition is brought to you fresh off a whirlwind work trip to Chicago—where I managed to snap one iconic landmark before diving headfirst into meetings and meals. As always, thanks for the recs (and the reminders to step outside). Whether you're dancing through life or just trying to make it through your inbox, I hope something in this email lifts you up. Let's get into this week's...

PICTURE: 📸

I was in Chicago for work

I took a picture of Cloud Gate a.k.a "The Bean" a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor. I stayed near Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago. The convention I attended and corrisponding work dinners took 95 percent of the five day visit, and this was the only landmark I saw. Thanks to everyone who sent me Chicago recommendations!

OPTIMISM: 💖

A supreme lesson

“Success is its own reward, but failure is a great teacher too, and not to be feared.”

— Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

🕺🏽💃🏽 Los hombres que bailan... viven mejor. As someone who loves to dance, I had to share this one: a powerful post that breaks down why dancing isn’t just joy—it’s liberation. From challenging macho stereotypes to literally improving your sex life (yes, science says so), this IG carousel explores how movement connects men to their bodies in freeing, affirming ways. It’s about healing, alegría, and yes—better rhythm in all aspects of life. 💥🕺

HOMEWORK: 📝

Bicultural Birthday Parties: This weekend we celebrated my niece's 2nd sun-revolution with donuts, cupcakes, and a piñata too. It got me thinking about this week's assignment. Plan upcoming birthday parties that incorporate elements of both Mexican and American traditions, or whichever you want to honor –it's your day after all.

OTHER STUFF: 📢
