Happy Halloween!!
I’m a Latina woman. Daughter of an immigrant who came to the United States for a better life. My mother worked hard to ensure we had opportunities she didn’t get to have as a child.
So when I think of all those families separated at the border, I think of all the light, the hopes and the dreams each family carries when they take that leap of faith to come to this land. Everyone has their story. Everyone comes from somewhere.
On August 31st, we rise up together and stand together with the release of #HoldTightShineBright a new album with songs from 25 amazing family artists, we will support RAICES in the effort to #ReuniteEveryChild with their families.

Friends, it's time to (finally) make a music video. Are you in? It's for my new song, "Our Garden". Let's do it! Send me a video clip of you doing any sort of gardening activity with a loved one: your child, your mother, your husband, your wife, sister, brother...you name it. Activities include watering, planting, pulling weeds, harvesting, mixing soil. You can also send me clips of your garden--even if you think it's unimpressive. Gardening requires lots of love and dedication, and to have even just one thing you're taking care of, or teaching your child to take care of it carries so much weight and value.
Here's a snippet of my song:
