It all started with 100 fears.
Ten years ago, in April 2015, a Venezuelan girl (hi, it’s me!) landed in New York City with big dreams—and even bigger fears. While pursuing my Master’s in Branding at the School of Visual Arts, I challenged myself to confront 100 fears in 100 days.
What began as a personal project quickly turned into a global movement. My journey went viral, leading to a TEDx talk, a career as a keynote speaker on some of the world’s biggest stages, and a powerful reminder that courage is contagious.
Since then, I’ve published two books, launched a paid community for Latina entrepreneurs with thousands of members worldwide, and partnered with global brands to champion authenticity, bravery, and purpose. I also conducted a groundbreaking research study on the power of community in the workplace.
The project that started it all didn’t just help me overcome fear—it helped me become who I was meant to be.
It helped me become irreplaceable.
What's the challenge?
To use a porta-potty at the stadium.
What are you afraid of?
Touching, smelling, or seeing something disgusting.
How was the experience?
I've been avoiding porta-potties forever! This time, my husband made me drink a whole beer so I couldn't avoid it. It wasn't as horrible as I thought, it didn't smell bad, it was just extremely tiny and trying to use the GoPro at the same time was not easy.
