Buenos Dias Worcester

✨🎉 Let’s give a warm Worcester welcome; bienvenido and a huge congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Piña on the grand opening of their new restaurant — Vejigantes — located at 55 Pearl St.! 🇵🇷🍽️

From the moment you walk in, you’re transported — the décor is meticulously impeccable, rich with culture, and makes you feel right at home. ❤️

One of the most beautiful, nostalgic touches? The señora cooking in the fogón — just like my grandmother and mother-in-law used to. It reminded me so much of my brother-in-law, who cooked with a fogón in his backyard until he passed away almost two years ago. 💔 It’s a beautiful reflection of our roots and traditions. 👵🏽🔥

The food, drinks, and service? 🔥🔥🔥
Authentic. Flavorful. Made with love.

Vejigantes is more than a restaurant — it’s a celebration of cultura and corazón.

Let’s show them some love and support — stop by, bring your family, and experience the richness of our heritage! 💃🏽🎶🥘

Big News, Worcester!

Vejigantes is officially OPEN in downtown Worcester!
Come experience the bold flavors, vibrant culture, ano warm hospitality that made us a Boston favorite-now right here in the heart of the city. From classic mofongo to our signature pernil, we’re serving up authentic Puerto Rican cuisine that feeds the soul.
Location: 55 Pearl St. Worcester
Pull up with your friends, your family-or come solo and let the food do the talking. Worcester, estamos aqui!

🌟 Grateful for a Productive Meeting with Senator Markey's Office! 🌟

We had a powerful and productive meeting with Senator Markey's office, discussing the incredible impact the Latin American Business Organization (LABO) has made in the Worcester community and surrounding towns. It was a privilege to share our story, highlighting the programs and successes that have touched the lives of so many.

Our journey in this beautiful city is just beginning, and we are excited to continue working with legislators to amplify our mission and showcase the positive change we've accomplished together.

We have a great board that believes in our mission, and we are eager to see what 2025 will bring us. Stay tuned for more updates as we keep pushing forward! 💪✨

Gratitude is truly one of the greatest blessings in my life. Since returning from Chile, I was fortunate enough to attend the ALX100 celebration 🎉, I’ve been battling illness for the past week 🤒. Despite the setback, I'm immensely grateful for the experience and the memories from these events.

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Rosa Maria Torres-Salas for stepping in and representing LABO at the events I was unable to attend, including CWE event, thanks Racquel T. Knight for the invite, the Piauí student's graduation (thanks, Edgar Luna and Grace too), thank you, Rosa for speaking for me. I also missed the kick-off of two LABO trainings, Monday, Venture Accelerator training in Spanish and Tuesday, Venture Accelerator training in Portuguese, also the Centro Hispanic Heritage Breakfast, thank you, Sabrina Pena for the invite. Rosa, your support has been invaluable 🙏

🌞 There is no denying that I am a proud 🧑🏽‍🦱🛖 Taína; boricua, and today I dedicate this day 📅 and page 📖 to my Taínos 🇵🇷 of Puerto Rico. Let us not forget the genocide that was inflicted on our Taínos, our ancestors.

I had a wonderful meeting this evening with one of my coaches. She posed an intriguing question: 'The more successful you become, the fewer friends you'll have in your circle, and the more haters you'll attract. What are your thoughts?' I responded with a favorite quote from my upcoming book "Not At My Level".

"In the garden of life, I choose to water the flowers of truth and nurture the roots of authenticity. 🌸🌿 Gossip, hypocrisy, and insincerity are like weeds that threaten to choke the beauty around them. I don’t waste my energy on these small battles; instead, I focus on creating an oasis of integrity. Let’s cultivate conversations that matter and grow together in genuine connection. 🌱💧 "

I don’t measure success in conventional terms; my focus is on making an impact. My essence is to uplift others, collaborate, and promote meaningful conversations. Together, we grow and strive to create a better tomorrow, paving a beautiful path for future generations y para mi gente y nuestra comunidad.
