Fun fact: Cura Lita is named after my abuelita (grandmother). As a kid, I couldn’t pronounce abuelita – thus, the nickname “Lita” was born.

I remember watching my grandparents celebrate life, dancing in their living room to Mexican music as gritos echoed off the ceiling. I take this spirit of celebration and love with me throughout my life.

Life should be a celebration & we can only celebrate life if we have our health. While beverage choices in the latin community are far from nutritious, that's not the only issue at play. Income inequality, large corporations making a quick buck with sugary fizzy drinks, minority education...

So we're doing it differenty.
