All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this.

I’m writing this as I listen to Don’t Call by Desire – it’s on a Spotify playlist made by my dear friend Charlie Ranalli called Retro 80s. There’s a bottle of Glenlivet and a Cuban cigar by my side, and I’m looking [...]

I have been writing A Fuego Lento for several years. In times of greater intensity on the keys, as expected, the visits rise and the connection with readers is strengthened. At the same time, when I let go of the keyboard and [...]
This is a conversation we will never forget. But for that, you have to get to know her. 😉 On her way to the top of Everest, this brave tica named Gineth Soto stopped by Tribu DDB to talk and share. Thanks [...]

Invitation to the next event: Sunday, February 6th. Intercontinental Hotel, 4:00 PM. Some of you may have heard or read some of what we have published about the Openhouse Project. In a nutshell, it is an initiative that focuses on creating a [...]
