What an incredible weekend it was!! And the #CenterPiece of it all was the @UnbridledEve Gala and its stellar partner @blessingsinabackpack whose elegantly ferocious nation wide agenda to help food insecure children have hunger-free weekends.
My deepest and most jubilent thanks to the Hostesses with the Mostesses, the Co-Founders of Unbridled Eve, Tammy York Day and Tonya York. Your leadership, grace and hospitality is unparalleled! Thank you for including us among such spectacular people! And shout out to @thegalthousehotel for the comfy accommodations 😴

ROUND II! It always gets better later! ❤️ – a little GT history… Mulata is a term with roots steeped in the pain of the caste system. AND it’s also the word I heard over and over again as I ran into my parents loving arms… or when they cuddled me up on the couch while watching tv. “Mi mulatica linda!!!” I was and have been so very loved. Today I celebrate every moment I chose the alchemy of turning something difficult or ugly or painful into something beautiful. Here’s to Life and All the Joy it Brings ✨🙏🏽🥂💕 Te quiero mi gente!
What’s better than a #photobomb 🥳 Love Bombing @alantudyk during his Q&A at @phoenixfanfusion Thank You to all the wonderful and dedicated fans that showed up and showed out and the incredible staff that makes it all run smooth!!!

It’s #WCW and today I am saluting one of the Greats!!!! At 61, @vanessawilliamsofficial is letting us all know she is far from done!
Her new single “Legs” just dropped and she’s about to star on Broadway as Miranda Priestly in the musical version of The Devil Wears Prada. The FIRST Black Miss America and also the most enduring and successful woman to wear the crown in the history of the pageant. Because her true power runs far deeper than those steely blue eyes. Smart, talented and A true survivor she beat ALL the odds. And through it all, managed to raise 5 well adjusted human beings!
It’s #WCW !!!! and I want to send a quick 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and salute to not only an amazing friend… but a true hermana ❤️ @mjacostatv Today I celebrate YOU for all that you are…all that you do… and ALL the outstanding examples you set for young women to follow! You are truly amazing!!!! 💐🏆👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽
This weekend I had the pleasure and honor to spend some time with some friends/fans at the @phoenixfanfusion ! It was sooooo amazing to see so many #cosplay costumes and folks all together having an amazing time! Very special thank you to all the great people who stood in line and waited to get pics & autographs – truly appreciate each and every one of you! Special thank you to the ENTIRE staff & crew that helped put the event together, the #phxpd Officers that helped keep us all safe, and a special salute to my compadres @alantudyk & @thegiancarloesposito for sharing some very special moments with me! A time was had… until next time – – 🥰
Where to begin with this dynamic duo?? @dianamariariva and @thereallisavidal who have entertained us for 30 years with an enviable depth of range AND have just recently been honored in the CA state capitol for Achievement in Advocacy and Entertainment in large part due to the creation and growth of the Latina centric platform @LatinasActingUp have left me no choice but to bow deeply before these reinas in honor of #WCW.
The best part of all? It’s not just my administration that runs deep. It is my love for these side splittingly funny, kind, whip smart and generous women that knocks me to my knees. Forever grateful to have connected with you after all these years and to be able to call you #Hermanas

#Ad Did you know that high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol can put you at risk for heart attacks and strokes? I’m partnering with @amgenbiotech and @the_aafp to talk about something that’s really important to me—knowing your cholesterol levels. ✔️
⬆️ High LDL (“bad”) cholesterol disproportionately impacts people in the Hispanic community, including my parents who struggled to lower their levels. If you have high LDL cholesterol, you may be at higher risk for a heart attack or stroke, especially if you’ve already experienced one of these heart events.
Take control of your heart health, get your LDL cholesterol tested and talk to your doctor. Click the link in my bio to learn more about the risks of this condition and info on how you can receive a FREE LDL cholesterol test. #AmgenSpokesperson
WE BACK! 💥
Sit back and enjoy a heartfelt discussion about cultural traditions, family, identity, and the experiences that shape the Latinx community. This is more than just a toast – it’s a recipe for understanding, inspiration, and positive change.
