I Wished for Something Amazing and I Got It!

Oh Em Gee! I am going to the inaugural #WeAllGrowSummit by Latina Bloggers Connect because I was selected as a #WeAllGrow Dove Storyteller. Oh and did I mention that I get to bring a blogging friend with me on this all-expense paid experience and that it’s all courtesy of Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant and that I’m getting it just for embracing and celebrating the fact that I am a storyteller? Pinch me!

Details, details…

Have you ever come across an opportunity that resonates so deeply with your core that you don’t even have time to second guess yourself before you announce to yourself and the Universe that you are going to get it? That’s exactly what happened to me when I found out that Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant was offering six hand-selected bloggers and their blogging besties an all-expense paid trip to the inaugural #WeAllGrow Summit in Los Angeles. I knew I had to be a part of this amazing opportunity because it just screamed, “Come and get me, Claudya!”

All the details want to come spilling out of me at once, but let’s take them one at at time, shall we?

#WeAllGrowSummit by Latina Bloggers Connect is happening on February 26-28 in Los Angeles, California. It “is poised to become the go-to professional conference for Latina digital content creators and influencers across all categories (parenting, lifestyle, fashion/beauty, food, entertainment and more).”

One of the incredible things happening at this conference is the launch of #WeAllGrow Storytellers presented by Vive Mejor. The #WeAllGrow Storytellers session “aims to celebrate the best storytellers amongst us while providing them with a platform to elevate their voice.” So, Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant partnered with Vive Mejor and put a call out for stories. What kid of stories you ask? You know the kind of stories about a moment in your life that somehow changed you, that somehow moved you? In other words, the kind of story that begs to be told and shared because others will connect with it? So I submitted “my” story and I WAS PICKED as one of the six finalists.

I’m going to LA to share my story onstage with #WeAllGrow Conference attendees and as if that weren’t enough to confirm that the Universe is abundant to make the experience even more incredible the good folks at Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant made it so that each #WeAllGrow Storyteller gets to bring one of their blogging friends with them to cheer them along. I am beyond thrilled to be sharing this experience with Lisa Quinones-Fontanez of Atypical Familia. Lisa lives in New York and I can honestly say that I felt all kinds of overjoyed when I popped the question to her about whether she would like to come along with me on this incredible journey and when she said yes, well I just went ahead and cheered out loud because things like this don’t happen every day!

I do not have the words to thank Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant for giving me this opportunity. I’m so grateful. Also, can we just talk about what a perfect partnering this is because I’m totally going to be wearing the new Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant when I go onstage to tell my story. Dove has been my go-to for antiperspirant for years now and I LOVE that this new spray goes on dry, leaves no visible residue and provides 48-hour odor and wetness protection. Do me a BIG favor and the next time you’re in the market looking for antiperspirant, please check out the new Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant!

I’m going to LA! WOO to the HOO!
