Mission
At Herizon, we walk alongside women of color as they rise above expectations, beyond limitations, and into their full, undeniable power. We’re not just a platform; we are a movement. A sanctuary where healing is sacred, sisterhood is soul-deep, and breakthroughs are inevitable. Through radical self-love, purposeful living, and collective growth, we help women reclaim their power and truth.​
Vision
We envision a world in which women of color rewrite their narrative. Silence ends, healing begins, and women rise together. Herizon is a revolution in motion, grounded in freedom, truth, and unity. We are not only dreaming about a better future; we are creating it.
Meet The Founder
Hola!
As a woman of color who embraces her first-generation journey and has shattered barriers, I can loudly and proudly say: THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!
Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, born into a Mexican immigrant family, I had to create my path to success. Heck, I didn't even know what success looked like back then.
Throughout my journey, I’ve faced challenges, battled self-doubt, and carried the weight of being the “first-gen everything.” Even after earning my Doctorate in Social Work, working as a mental health therapist, and starting my entrepreneurial journey, imposter syndrome still found its way in—and truthfully, it still does at times.
As a married mom of four, I understand even more how much we carry as women, especially women of color. We’re expected to be strong, push through, and never miss a beat, all while looking cute and smiling, but let me be the one to tell you, ain’t nobody got time for that!
​
That’s why I founded HERizon. God placed it on my heart to create a space where no woman feels alone in the pursuit of her dreams. My faith has been my anchor, reminding me that every struggle has shaped my purpose: to uplift and empower others.
​
HERizon is about helping women step into their most authentic selves and build the life they deserve, surrounded by a community that understands, supports, and celebrates them.
​
Let's hop on this journey together and find our HERizon!

XOXO,
