I was born in Brooklyn NY. I am an only Child. I am of Puerto Rican and Filipino Descent. <\/p>
My Mother, was Thirteen years old when she gave birth to me. Her circumstances at the time that she had me, were not, that of a normal Childhood. Let\u2019s just leave it at that. My Mother Married at the tender age of, Eighteen years old. The Man, whom she Married, Legally Adopted me. I was a Daddy\u2019s Girl for sure. My Father was an Exceptional Artist, but let\u2019s not cover the Sky with our Hands, my Father was also a Junkie, but don\u2019t get it twisted, my Father took very well care of me and unconditionally loved me. He was the best Father, a Girl, could ask for. In my eyes, he was perfect.<\/p>
I\u2019m 1977, and my Parents Divorced. I lived in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, with my Mother, and would see my Father often. I missed my Dad very much, and became, very Defiant and Uncontrollable. One thing, I never did was, Drink, nor did any Drugs. <\/p>
In 1985, I gave birth, to my first Child. I went to live with my Father, for about a year, in Brentwood, Long Island. In 1985, I was diagnosed with \u201c Chronic Pancreatitis\u201d and spent about two months in the Hospital. I\u2019ve had over 150 Bouts of this Disease, since being diagnosed, and was even told later on in life, that I only had \u201c Three years to live\u201d. At the same time, In 1985, The \u201c AIDS\u201d Epidemic, was Introduced to the World, and in 1987, my Beloved Father fell Victim to \u201c AIDS \u201c, and passed away, on Father\u2019s Day of that year. My World shattered, but the Pain of losing my Father made me very Strong.<\/p>
In 1988, I had my second child and was living in, Bayridge Brooklyn. My Mother was Remarried, and lived in, Peekskill NY, where she, owned a Hotel. In 1991, my Mother\u2019s then Husband passed away, and she moved back to, Bayridge Brooklyn. She Remarried, in 1993.<\/p>

Sadly my Mother got very Ill, and Passed away, in April 2014. By now, I had four children and was living in Pennsylvania. My way of dealing with life\u2019s challenges was through Music. I was a professional Dancer, and I grew up on Disco, Salsa, and of course, Freestyle Music. I started a very small Radio Show and was picked up by another Station, where I played Music and did Talk Shows. I wanted to be, the next \u201c Howard Stern\u201d. After I learned all the ropes about Radio, I decided, I wanted my own Radio Station, and that\u2019s how \u201c Triplethreatfmradio\u201d was Born. I named the Station, \u201cTriple threat\u201d, because, I had my hands on some other projects. I loved Freestyle Music so much, that, it consumed part of my Soul and Existence. I started Hosting Events, Meeting a lot of Artists, and learning a lot, about the \u201cIndustry\u201d. Then, I wrote a Book, \u201c The Devil Had White Hair\u201d, which is a Story, about my \u201cBiological Father\u201d. It was a Short, but very Powerful Book. I felt so accomplished, especially as a \u201cLatina\u201d Woman, I felt like I was on top of the World. I then opened my own\u201d Sunglasses\u201d Business, and that took off very quickly. A lot of Artists, are rocking my \u201c Shades\u201d, and soon, I was put on the Map. <\/p>
I was one of the lucky ones, who did not let, life\u2019s pain, interfere, with my wanting to Empower, other Latina Women. I\u2019m very Humbled to say that, I\u2019ve been very fortunate. I\u2019m grateful to \u201c God\u201d, and praise him, for steering me, in the right direction. I will leave you all, Reading this Article, with one thought, be Kind and humble, Empower one another, and let the Music play. If you can Dream it, You can Achieve it, the Word \u201c Can\u2019t \u201c, does not exist in my Vocabulary! I Believe in you. You can do anything you set your mind to. I\u2019m living proof of that. Don\u2019t let life\u2019s Challenges navigate you, away from your Dreams and Goals. This Latina, is still going strong, still Dancing, rocking the Airwaves, and living life to its fullest. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
