HOLA,
i’m brigitte ugarte.
I am a Freelance Social Media Strategist and Latina Lifestyle creator, based in New York City . I come from a culturally mixed family. I was born in Queens and raised in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. I am Ecuadorian, Colombian, and Mexican. Growing up, we were the only Ecuadorian/Colombian family in a predominantly Caribbean neighborhood. I fell in love with with my Dominican neighbor’s Bachata and Merengue music. This inspired me to create colorful culturally-resonant videos to inspire others to engage with their community. I promote local music and dance events happening in the city.
Currently, I am a Social Media Manager and Event Promoter for Passion Thursdays at Solas (a weekly Bachata social in the East Village).
