For a long time, we may believe that being hard on ourselves is the only way to grow, stay disciplined, or avoid making the same mistakes. We replay conversations, question our decisions, and measure our worth against expectations that may never have been ours to begin with. But growth does not require us to become our own harshest critic. Self-compassion is the ability to acknowledge our mistakes without turning them into our identity. It is recognizing that we can take responsibility without punishing ourselves, learn from difficult experiences without living in them, and pursue excellence without demanding perfection. The goal...

Introduction: Your Business Needs a Home Online Starting a business today means thinking beyond social media. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok can help you reach an audience, but your website gives you a dedicated space to present your work, share your story, showcase your services, and build your professional identity.

From Artist Development to a New Chapter: The Journey of Los Rivera Destino

From Artist Development to a New Chapter: The Journey of Los Rivera Destino

Barb – October 16, 2026
My work involved artist management, creative positioning, public relations, digital marketing, audiovisual production, and professional development.

Looking back, this experience represents an important chapter in my journey as an entertainment professional, talent developer, and...

Those results were not just audience-growth milestones. They were lessons in how strategic artist management turns creative potential into measurable business growth. Between 2014 and 2017, I worked as Artist Manager for Misa ’E Gallo, a Puerto Rican collective known for its fusion of hip-hop, funk, rock, jazz, R&B, and Latin sounds. My role brought together artist development, public relations, digital marketing, audiovisual production, touring coordination, and strategic communication. During this period, the work included: Audience growth: Growing the group’s social media following from 421 to more than 10,000 over two years. Booking development: Contributing to a 125% increase in...

Throwback to when creativity met opportunity in Puerto Rico.

Throwback to when creativity met opportunity in Puerto Rico.

During my time as a Marketing Coordinator at Rico Sun Tours, I had the opportunity to design a tourism product quickly, transforming an idea into an experience that could be presented to an audience. The project: San Juan Cat — Experience the San Juan Bay! Looking back at this work reminds me that marketing is more than promoting a product. It is about understanding the experience you want to offer, identifying its appeal, and translating that vision into something people can see, understand, and want to experience. This project reflects a part of my professional journey that continues to shape...
