The editorial team has a special attachment to our new series, The Trailblazers: Rewriting the Narrative, because so many of us feel that media portrayals of women have been too one dimensional. Today, women are doing incredible things in all fields – from science and technology to finance, law, business, athletics and more. With the Trailblazers series, we hope to highlight and celebrate female role models, encourage more equal and just representation in the media, and help foster a more tight-knit community locally helping women find mentors, business partners, friends and more.
Below, you’ll find some incredible trailblazers from in and around Hialeah that we hope you will check out, follow and support.

Daniel and I started our business back in July of 2016, we were newlyweds and first-time homeowners… needless to say, money was tight. At the time, we were working just to pay off our bills and were really struggling at the thought of not being able to “go out”, “travel” or just “live” as we used to. Read more>>

My story goes as back as 2007, when after two pregnancies and huge depression I found myself weighing 387 lbs, maybe you should also know that I’m only 4’11”, so the health risk was unbelievable!. I moved to Miami in 2013, having a broken self-esteem this was an even bigger blow. Read more>>

When it comes to the realm of art and music, my passion is deep-rooted.

Our team is pretty strong and without my team, we wouldn’t have the marketing tactics we do, we use our platforms with intention and that’s how we are able to build a strong and returning customer other than building trust-worthy relationships. Read more>>

Keep in mind, I was 20 years old and no idea that dryers have a thing called a lint compartment that you had to clean… much less anything about life at all. I grew up a lot and gained a lot of life experiences that have made me who I am today. Read more>>

From my weight loss journey, all I could think about was wanting to share my success with other women. I knew what it was like to have absolutely no help, inspiration or motivation while doing this on my own and because of this I just had to do something about it. Read more>>

I had no idea how to run a meal-prep business, but I did know how to push through the sleepless nights, how to stay positive through every trial & error, & how to trust that God would bring me all that I needed to make this company grow—including my parents, siblings, the amazing employees that work for Glow Meals, & our deeply appreciated clients—without them this company would be nothing.
