A little over 2 years ago I made a life changing decision to move cross-country from Los Angeles to Miami. It was life changing because I was born and raised in the City of Angels so not only was I moving to a new city and state very different from the one I was used to, but I was also changing careers. I would be going from being a fraud investigator to working in social media in the Latin Music & Entertainment Industry. When I made the decision to move, I didn’t come with a specific time frame in mind, I just knew I needed to grow my Becky Boricua brand. I wanted to make sure I was known for what I now do. Thanks to the work that I put in, I rapidly became a well known presence not only in all of the top Miami Latin Music Industry events but also in anything that had to do with beauty and lifestyle.

I eventually became a Key Influencer in the Latin Music Industry and a regular at press junkets and red carpets interviewing artists. I do have to admit though that interviewing artists was never in my plans. It wasn’t what I wanted to do because all I ever wanted to be was behind the scenes making things happen (I still do). When I arrived and was offered my first chance at an interview, I quickly learned to say yes because I knew I had to take any opportunity that came knocking to my door because that could eventually lead to something else. So, I accepted and from there on, continued to do interviews. I can now honestly say that it’s one of the things I most enjoy doing, and it was all thanks to that first opportunity I was given and that I decided to take.

During my time here not only was I growing my brand, but I was breathing and living social media and Latin Music which is what I had so greatly wanted to do the last few years. I was now living my dream, well, part of it. I got to meet so many amazing people, do some really amazing things, and also met some amazing colleagues who quickly became really good friends (a post on my best highlights in Miami will be coming soon!). I made lasting friendships and really great connections that I will take with me wherever I go. I’m proud of the work I’ve done and am so happy and grateful I had the opportunity to move to Miami to fulfill part of my dream. I’m also very proud of the decision I made to move cross country all by myself to a city I had only visited a few times and where I had no family or friends. I knew people from the Industry because of my previous work with Wisin & Yandel, but I was technically here alone. Not only did my brand grow, but I also grew as a person. I lived so many experiences both personal and career-wise that will be part of me for the rest of my life.

Fast forward to the end of 2017, I started to feel like my time in Miami was coming to an end. I started to feel like I had already accomplished what I came to this city to do. It was time to move on to bigger and greater things but now back in LA. I started to feel that if I wanted to continue on this journey, it would no longer be in Miami. Something in my gut was telling me it was time to leave. It was that same gut feeling that told me to leave LA 2 years ago. If there’s one thing that I learned from my move to Miami, it’s to trust and follow your gut/instinct because it will always lead you to where you need to be. That, and prayer. I prayed about it as well, and that is when I decided to head back to Los Angeles.

Now, I write this post during my last month in Miami. Come May, I head back to Los Angeles to start a new chapter. I’m actually crying as I write this because Miami will always have a special place in my heart because of what I accomplished while here and because of the friendships I made. While I’m so happy and proud of myself, I can’t help but have mixed emotions because of everyone I leave here, although my plans are to continue traveling back to Miami for work purposes, it won’t necessarily be the same. Nonetheless, I’m excited to head back home to my city, my family, my friends, and to a new chapter in Becky Boricua’s adventure.

I want to thank each and every one of you, but especially my parents who were and continue to be my biggest supporters throughout this journey. If there’s something that I learned from this move is that they will always support me in whatever I do 300% and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you to everyone who was part of this chapter, and who supported me along the way. My hope is that you continue to join and support me in this next chapter of my life. Becky Boricua will continue but now from Los Angeles and with many new projects in mind that I plan to share with you as I go along. With all my heart, I thank you.

¡No se preocupen, que hay Becky Boricua pa’ rato!
