Keep up with our travels @ATWBEAUTY

Latinos, this is our moment. In a time when our ri

Latinos, this is our moment.
In a time when our rights are questioned, our presence politicized, and our stories erased—**we rise.**
Not with fear, but with the fire of generations that came before us.

We are not just voters.
We are business owners, culture keepers, teachers, healers, workers, parents, dreamers—**the backbone of this nation.**

Now is the time to:
✨ Speak louder.
🗳 Vote with power.
🧠 Educate our families.
🫱🏽‍🫲🏽 Organize in community.
📢 Demand policy that protects our people.
🎤 Tell our stories on our terms.

They want us to stay silent.
We respond with **presence.**
They want to divide us.
We respond with **unity.**

**Our existence is not up for debate. Our culture is not disposable. Our future is not negotiable.**

So show up.
Not just for yourself, but for your abuelita.
For the kids watching you.
For every ancestor who crossed borders, worked double shifts, and dared to dream bigger for you.

This land remembers our roots.
And now—we lead.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: From our founder @stephanieflor

We want to thank you from the deepest part of our heart for ordering my book and being part of this journey with us.

We’ve just been informed that all pre-orders of the book will be refunded. If you don’t automatically see a refund in your account soon, I recommend visiting your Amazon order page and requesting one directly.

I’m so sorry for any inconvenience or confusion this has caused. I know many of you were excited to receive the book today, and it breaks my heart to have to share this news.

Writing this book meant everything to me. I created it during one of the most vulnerable seasons of my life—while becoming a new mother—and every page carries that love, effort, and faith.

I never imagined the launch would unfold like this, but I’m holding on to the belief that delays are divine redirections. The story isn’t over—it’s just taking a different path.

Thank you again for your support, your patience, and your belief in me. If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email or DM me directly.

This past weekend we attended the @danceparadenyc

This past weekend we attended the @danceparadenyc and learned about *Tinku* — a powerful, ancestral Bolivian tradition that blends beauty, ritual, and movement. Rooted in the Quechua word for “encounter,” Tinku began in Potosí, Bolivia, where villages would gather to fight and spill blood as an offering to Pachamama, Mother Earth, in hopes of an abundant harvest. I asked what does shed blood mean? It literally means fight to death 😯
.
.
The outfits, colours and music were absolutely stunning. @tkssfilialny honored that history through dance — channeling strength, spirit, and deep cultural pride.

You’ll notice dancers with ropes called *Warakas*, once used in battle and hunting. Others embody the role of *Machu* — a wise, flirtatious figure adorned in vibrant sashes, thick sandals, a charango, and a montera crowned with an Ilama, symbolizing sacrifice and wisdom.

Through every step, turn, and shake of a pom pom, we experienced the beauty of our roots.

It’s the energy of expansion, of awe, of staying open.
A reminder of how powerful it is to step outside of what you know and explore the world with open eyes and an open heart.

There’s a whole universe waiting when you choose presence over autopilot.
Gratitude over routine. Adventure over fear.

Tag someone who inspires you to live more fully.
