📣 Looking for a Part-Time Job & Community Support 💛

Life has shifted for me recently, and I’m reaching out to my community to ask for help.

For the past month and a half, I’ve applied to countless jobs and haven’t landed a single interview. It’s been humbling and challenging — but I know that I have so much to offer.

I’m looking for a part-time role where I can contribute meaningfully, support a local business or organization, and earn a livable income.

✨ I have experience in:
• Admin & office coordination
• Childcare & nannying
• Retail & customer service
• Event organizing & community building

Right now, I’m also working on growing Arepa Babe — and I was selected for a 10-week Seed Spot business accelerator, which meets Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10–11am. So ideally, I need something flexible around that.

My LinkedIn is open if you want to know more about my background and what I bring to the table — including charisma, warmth, a great attitude, and a true passion for creating environments where people feel good.

🙏🏽 If you know of any leads, roles, or folks hiring, please send them my way or tag them here. Please share this post if it resonates. Help a neighbor, a dreamer, and a hard-working mujer keep going.

With gratitude,
Angelica 🤍

Happy August.

One year ago, I sat at my desk with a notebook and pen and said to myself:

No more BS.
It was time to be radically honest—with myself.

I couldn’t keep bending to everyone else’s needs. I had to face my truth and start organizing the chaos inside.

So I did.

I made a list of everything I had accomplished—every job, every room I brought beauty into, every part of life I had touched with intention.

I sat in the discomfort.
I saw the discomfort.
I wrote down exactly what I would no longer tolerate in a relationship—with a man, and with myself.

I reflected on the past six years—my awakening.

And I cried.
A lot.

I asked myself: What’s the worst that could happen?
Because honestly, I’ve seen it all—
In my sister.
In my family.
In my coworkers.
In my friends.
In my community.

And then I told myself:

Angelica, shut up. Just trust. This is your calling. This is the time.

So I did.

I leaned into self-love while staying open to the unknown.
And here I am—a year later—still standing in gratitude, because living in gratitude is living in abundance.

I listened to Papa Jaime’s meditations whenever I felt lost.
I ran in the Arizona heat to burn through my fear.
I kept proving to myself what I’m capable of.

And I want you to know:
You can do it, too.

It’s free.
You don’t need to pay a coach.
You just have to fight.
Fight your brain.
Fight your fears.
Fight the inner voices that say you can’t.

I’m no expert—but I’ve pushed myself into experiences that forced me to believe in myself.
And when I felt deeply depressed, I reached out for professional help. That’s strength too.

And yes—now that I don’t sleep with Koneko (my cat), I actually sleep better. I feel better. I don’t snore anymore 😂

Invest your time and energy now—it will take you places you never imagined.

is the best love

Born in Colombia in 1990 means: grew up with I listen to her songs in cassettes, LP, then CDs, bought her DVD, watch all the videos, recorded her, learned her moves, performed her songs, etc.

⸻

Colombiana en el desierto, pero con raíces profundas 🌵🇨🇴
Walking through the city with pride in every step—because the diaspora carries more than stories… we carry legacy.
We are the bridge between generations.
We are the voice that keeps our heritage alive across borders.
This is how culture moves. This is how we honor where we come from.

A Phoenix que me lo ha dado todo y nunca me ha faltado nada… gracias a mi ciudad bonita, mi casa, mi calor, mi verano, mi valle del sol… te amo🌵🦂🏜️
