Inspired by merchants like his mother, he developed a business model to help small business owners and entrepreneurs build a strong social media presence while implementing social media strategies into their marketing mix. Luis is currently working with merchants along the Mission Street Corridor in San Francisco to help business owners tap into the power of social media.

Wine: 2018 Martin Codax Albariño, Rias Baixas (Spain)Clean, bright lemon yellow with greenish reflections. Medium intensity with ripe citrus notes file type and tangerine. Predominant floral notes (hawthorn, jasmine and orange blossom) and a herbal background type hay. Envelope, fresh and good balance. The aftertaste has notes of ripe citrus.Aurea is an EMERGE Caifornia SoCal Fellow and Independent Political Consultant based in San Diego. She got into politics because she was scared the power of her voice -- women's voices -- would be taken away. Some of her earliest memories of anything political was watching the news with her grandparents and seeing the number of women who were murdered every day in places like Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, and around Mexico. No one at the table said anything -- she felt this rage bubble inside her. Aurea just couldn't understand how female genocide was just... accepted. When she moved to the US, her US history teacher had the class watch the movie, Mississippi Burning (1988) and she explains how she remembers sitting in the living room crying out of anger after learning how such hate was also part of this new country she now lived in. Undoubtedly, politics has always been personal because she recognized how others used power in order to oppress and letting that happen is her biggest fear.Link to podcastGuerrerras Podcast Instagram Instagram
