The other half can be many things. Most of all it is your perspective, your narrative, your side of the story. We are here to hear the other half of the story.
We’re back, a little worn out and a lot more honest, ready to talk about the real stuff: how faith changed for us, how identity and race shape daily life, and why Arizona became both a challenge and a fresh start. The story winds from old-school church traditions and years inside a faith that never felt personal, to finding a modern, welcoming community where our kids belong and our spirits do too. We don’t chase perfection; we’re building a daily practice that goes beyond Sundays and gives our family a grounded way to grow.
We also open up about identity in America—Black, Mexican, mixed, and navigating the friction between pride and prejudice. The takes are candid: racism is real, culture isn’t a monolith, and labels can’t be your ceiling. We share what it looks like to hold nuance, teach our kids resilience, and still find joy in the messy middle where love and truth both live.
Then we get practical about Arizona. Expect stunning winters, serious sunsets, newer homes, and opportunity if you work for it. Expect heat that demands respect, traffic from explosive growth, and a driving culture that feels like a racetrack on the wrong day. We talk fast pace, fitness vibes, and why it takes time to find your people in a sprawling, diverse metro. Finally, we pull back the curtain on service work—from waxing aftercare to barber chair etiquette—why tipping and being on time matter, and the moments that stick with you. One client had a seizure mid-haircut; another story is a final cut for a brother laid to rest. These aren’t just appointments. They’re human lives.
