International Author of the Year

Humbled and honored to be nominated for Author of the Year and awarded International Book of the Year for my book Blooming in New York. This recognition celebrates a powerful movement sparked by Blooming, inspiring individuals across generations to break the stigma surrounding mental health and embrace emotional well-being.

It is a privilege, as an author and professional, to witness how Blooming is opening doors for conversations about mental health in schools across South, North and Central America. These discussions focus on prevention, awareness, mindfulness, coping mechanisms, self-understanding, and empowerment, impacting both the oldest and newest generations alike.

To all generations, especially this new one: I have immense faith in your ability to shape a kinder, more inclusive world. Speak up, empower others, and create a society rooted in empathy, advocacy, respect, and inclusion. We have the tools to build a healthier world—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically—and the power to make life better for generations to come.
