Two weeks ago, I got the most unexpected call: Delia Ramirez’s office telling me that my story would be shared on the House Floor and entered into the Congressional Record — FOREVER. 😭
My parents have never fully understood what I do or how I make a living, but they’ve always known my passion runs deep. So sharing this moment with my mom, dad, and my wela was everything. Huddled around the TV, watching C-SPAN and waiting, I could hear my mom squeal when she saw her baby girl’s picture appear on the screen 🥹
And then, my wela said it: “Tú has llegado adonde nadie ha llegado.” You’ve gone where no one has gone. 😭
Her words reminded me of every ancestor who carried the Vélez name before me… And Mercado. And González. And Rivera. And Rosa. And López. The generations who dreamed wild dreams, even when the world tried to count them out.
If you need a sign:
Pursue the thing that feels impossible. Chase the dream that doesn’t make sense to anyone but you. Because one day your family will watch you go farther than anyone imagined, and your ancestors will cheer you on from the other side.
I beg you, keep going. We need you. And, you have no idea how far your story will go 💖🔥

I’m a CEO 🥹
(Cypher Equity Organizer, that is 😎)
💫 The Hip Hop Cypher Movement 💫
🌸 ABOUT OUR FOUNDER: PINQY RING 🌸
The daughter of the Puerto Rican diaspora and a Chicago MC shaped by Hip Hop’s sacred lineage, .ring is a cultural diplomat, dreamer and disruptor whose life and leadership was shaped by the transformative power of Hip Hop.
What began with a young MC finding her voice and place in the world has grown into more than twenty years of community leadership and radical cultural work.
Her journey has carried her from Chicago’s neighborhoods to classrooms and stages around the world, always in service of uplifting voices pushed to the margins.
Through every performance, workshop, and cypher, she has witnessed how people transform when they’re offered space, respect, and radical care.
That lifelong devotion to the culture led Pinqy to found The Hip Hop Cypher Movement (HHCM) — an emerging nonprofit advancing Hip Hop by using the cypher as a catalyst for healing, creative leadership, and collective possibility, with a special emphasis on women and girls.
Pinqy’s leadership is grounded in experience, purpose, and an unshakeable belief in Hip Hop’s ability to transform lives. As the Cypher Equity Organizer (CEO), her vision for HHCM continues her life’s work: building creative ecosystems where Hip Hop becomes a force for healing, voice, and collective transformation.

Grateful for this BIG NEWS tomorrow 😆🌸

We should show gratitude at every chance we get, and I’m overly grateful for my tribe 🌸
As y’all know, I turned 40 this year and threw a party with ✨the works✨ — DJs, catered food, venue, décor, big light-up pink 40, custom dessert table… err’thing!
Pero, listen… big birthday parties are for the birds because the stress had me dissociating the entire time 😭 I barely remembered any of it! The only reason I have memories at all is because of the gorgeous photos captured 🥹 I cried for days afterward. It was such a milestone year, a celebration I poured so much effort (and money 😩) into, and yet I barely remember being present for it.
So as my will would have it, I said: “Who tf said I can’t throw my birthday party again?” And that’s exactly what I did 🙃
I remixed my 40th cypher, estilo Friendsgiving, and my tribe brought the sustenance, the sazón, and the support 🥹
Shoutout to momma Pinq for her delicious cooking, all my friends and their signature dishes/contributions to the spread, DJ for the soundtrack that held the night together, and to for helping me pivot again after another venue cancellation (yes… the venues cancelled at BOTH my birthday parties 😭). They truly came through in the clutch with a gorgeous space and the kindest, most helpful bartenders 💐
As I continue to ground myself in gratitude (and not just on one genocidal holiday a year 😒), I cannot speak more highly of my friends, who became my family, who became my foundation. Thank you for always reminding me that I don’t have to do this life thing alone 🩷
BIG NEWS COMING THIS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 28TH! 🫣
What they try to rush or interrupt, we will always reclaim ✨ When Congresswoman Delia Ramirez began honoring me on the House floor yesterday, she got cut off mid-speech. Sitting around the television with my family, my heart sank. I had hoped for that moment to unfold differently, and walked away feeling dejected and a bit disappointed.
I was in my head, y’all 😩 Replaying the interruption, the expectations I built up, the disappointment that settled in. But my abuela was seeing something completely different. With tears in her eyes, she looked at me and said, “Tú has llegado adonde nadie ha llegado.” You have gone where no one has gone. She didn’t care about the interruption; all she saw was her baby’s photo and name being praised on the Congress floor.
Later that night, a friend reminded me: Do the work. Trust the process. Let go. Not everything will unfold the way we imagine, but it will unfold the way it’s meant to.
Then, this morning, I learned Delia went back, delivered the full remarks, made sure my name entered the Congressional Record, and her fabulous team sent me the complete video 🥹
Thank you, Representative Ramírez, for your persistence, your resistance, and your existence 🌸 Thank you for highlighting my life’s work through Hip Hop, reminding me that I’m seen, de verdad, in all the ways that matter.
I share this video with you as a reminder that women don’t fold. Even when our voices are interrupted, we finish the story. And we will finish it for every single girl that comes after us 💖🔥
I’M IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, Y’ALL! 😭💃🏻🇵🇷
From Chicago to Congress 🔥 Tomorrow, Congresswoman Delia Ramirez will honor my work on the House floor, and my name will be entered into the Congressional Record 🥹 Tune in from 9–9:30am CST at live.house.gov 🌸 Hip Hop don’t EVER stop! 🎙️ (And it’s still Chinga La Migra and Que Viva Puerto Rico and Free Palestina — SIEMPRE!) ✊🏽

That one time we performed for and he called us an inspiration 🥹 Thank you so much for having myself and my mentees at your Homelessness Awareness Walk 💜 It was truly a pleasure to celebrate your work, uplift the women you serve, and perform a new piece we created in honor of this day ✨
