Hi, I’m Floritza! I’m an Afro-Latina Activist, Food Innovator, and Blogger based in New York City. My life is like a recipe passed down through many generations— always changing, but always delicious.
I've done a little bit of everything when it comes to working: canoe instructor, testing and collecting data about the Bronx river, teaching kids about plant science and botany at the Botanical Gardens, and so much more. My work has never defined me, but the things that I love have always defined where I put my energy.
On the weekends, you can find me spending time with my friends + family or getting some alone time tending to my plant babies. I love to do so many things, but I am at my best when I'm doing something artistic. I love Frida Kahlo, and she has definitely influenced me to live a bold life full of art, full of deep breaths, and full of love.
Through all of that, I've accomplished a few things that I'm really proud of, and I'm excited to share all that I've learned with you. There are a few main things that I'll talk about the most here, but honestly- I want this to be a space where I can express myself, create art, and have my community share in that experience with me.
