#GivingTuesday and Why I'm Supporting The Barrio Planta Project

After all of the crazy shopping and sales that Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday bring, Giving Tuesday is the last of the four days surrounding Thanksgiving asking people to spend a little bit more money or time for causes important to them. It’s a time to be thankful for all that we have, our health, family, a place to spend the holidays with people we love, and we can’t forget to always pay it forward in any way we can.

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon Embrace Race, but I am so happy I did.

We welcome your participation.  I reached out to the Co-Founders Melissa and Andrew because I believe that while the work they are doing is invaluable for people who already have kids, people who don’t can still benefit greatly from their platform.

Not A Mama Yet Podcast: Episode 3

This week’s episode is featuring my good friend of 15 years, Sara Rajo Miller (and today happens to be her birthday!!). She grew up living all over the world in Germany, Israel, London, and Mexico, before moving to Los Angeles at the age of 12. I remember when I first met her, I could not believe she had already lived in all of those places and I had lived in the same house for pretty much all of my life. Growing up, her parents, who are both foreign correspondents, taught her that life is all about relationships and, as a result, she developed an affinity to interacting with different people early on. She fell into wealth management after a college internship at a stock analysis company, Miracle Mile Advisors, and never left!
