culture + community = lifestyle

I find myself Personal distancing in the US after years of living "The Penthouse" experience in Mexico City's fashionable 

Polanco area, across from the castle. 

​

Still looking forward to sharing my favorite things to do, slow food ideas, some fabulous life experiences, short, creative video logs and places to visit around the world!  

Help me build a legacy for atrueLatina.com based on our

current and historical contributions to culture + community.

Pique:  Add a few garlic cloves, some peppercorns, salt, a Bay Leaf, some colorful and hot peppers (split some open), a few cilantro sprigs, dash of cumin and lime juice and fill with apple cider vinegar. Chill overnight. Great on rice.

About me...

With a deep passion for the innovative and diverse California Bay Area community and staying true to my roots, I founded atrueLatina.com, an online experience in 2011.  The site included a team of writers from several generations for the online magazine, cover art, videos, scholarships, conferences and more! We provided a voice on issues unique to us and shared original stories about our culture and traditions that women can identify with. Our information linked many generations of millennials, gen x-ers, boomers and traditionals of Latinas living in the US and abroad. Muchas gracias.  Your support was invaluable!

Lowriding

days...

Back in the 70's, I became a First Impressions member. Cruising in my '71 Riviera, I was one of three Women in the club.  My ride had hydraulics in the back and I would Flip the switch and make it hop. The original pristine Jacket on the right was my official gear for showing up at picnics, or going on a run to Fresno with my friend and now comadre, Flaca. Firme.

Are you atrueLatina?

​

What is it that fuels each and every one of us in this world? For me, it is sharing being atrueLatina.

Back in 2011, I began writing and documenting my passions, what interests me, what interests other people, and sharing it with the world! Tell our story.  Share our story. Frances
