AI isn’t replacing you; it’s just exposing who was faking it. 5:36

5M ago5:36

5:36

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I actually use AI in my work—not just to write captions or brainstorm ideas, but to plan wellness markets, pitch brand campaigns, and build real-life community experiences that convert.

I wasn’t spiraling. I was buffering.

I went on Fresh & Fit and stayed quiet. This episode? I’m done being quiet. I’m talking about what it means to be Latina in Miami, labeled a “person of color” at Syracuse, and still somehow not American enough when it counts.
