I need
@instagram
to allow Swipe Up for business accounts that have less than 10K. It’s annoying trying to share information on my stories but can’t link in.
Instagram thinks that are savvy by releasing 5 links in the bio but if they REALLY wanted to be game changers they would provide clickable links inside of captions
My worst fear came true, my Dad tested positive for COVID and is in the hospital. They are in the RGV I’m in SA I can’t drive down them nor can my mom see him in the hospital. Throughout quarantine it was a struggle to get them to stay home. Please pray and stay the fuck home!
Was at the Zoo dropping off something to the Hubby when this beautiful visitor came to my car window. Is it my two grandpas? My Grandma? Maddy Cat? My hubby’s grandma? All I know is the Holiday seasons can be hard but I always know, I’m never alone ✨
I switched to a Creator account on Instagram on Friday. My reel got almost 2K more views than when the majority of my reels when I was a business account.
Managing social media accounts for over 5 years &still the number one thing I notice is people don’t read. The info could be on the bio, in the caption on the post, on IG Highlights, on IG Stories, on a pinned post &on the website and still get 1000Xs of questions. Who feels me?
Update: My Dad is getting out of the hospital again in a few hours. He will be able to continue to recover from home. COVID symptoms are a rollercoaster but he’s got this! This has been such a stressful week. Stay home today
This Thursday, I’m receiving my third business award! I’ve won two in social media strategy in 2020 & 2021 but this award I’m receiving Thursday evening is a women’s business owner award. One that I’ve been nominated for since 2016! I’m SO proud of the journey that got me to here
I’m so digital, I forgot there was going to be a TWO PAGE SPREAD In the actual PAPER! 📰 I just thought it was on their website!
I’m on the hunt to find one now! ⭐️💥🔥
I got my period when I was 10. In the 5th grade. I had to tell the school nurse because in elementary there are no trash cans in RR so I had to go to the nurses office multiple times to use the RR & for pads because my periods were HEAVY for a 10 year Old. This bill is disgusting
UPDATE: My Dad is now out of the hospital and will be able to recover from COVID-19 through self-quarantine at home. My mom is waiting for her results, and will also self-quarantine.
Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery and for all those who are affected.
Stay home!
I have no words! I just found out I was awarded one of the Bexar County COVID grants! 😭😭😭 this is the first grant I ever applied too after a HUGE business transition and I got it… during CONFERENCE WEEK! Dioscito HAS MY BACK 🙏🏽🥹😭
Day 13:My anxiety has been so bad this week but I’m happy to say Dad will be released from the hospital later this afternoon.10 days in and out due to COVID. I pray this is the last time out of the hospital and he fully recovers!Thank you to all who have prayed & continue to pray
IVE MADE IT TO THIS MOMENT! 8 months ago I didn’t know if I could take on
@HustleSocialize
100% myself. All 2022, I didn’t believe in my capabilities. I was grieving what was. I made A DECISION to get in the water & take messy courageous action! Here we are 122 attendees later!
It’s my birthday! 🥳 🎂✨
I turn 33 today on solar eclipse day! Tell me something you learned about yourself at 33 and lessons you’ve experienced during this magical year! ✨🦋
Today is COVID vaccine dose 1 day for me.
So many emotions I’m processing but mostly I’m a bit anxious because of my phobia of needles. Pray I stay calm. 💛💉
My Dad called me today asking me about Facebook. He wanted to update everyone to let them know he is doing much better and COVID-19 is real. I replied, “if you need help crafting messages, I got you. I do that for a living. I now won an award.” He laughed. This made my day. ❤️🙏🏽
It is an absolute honor to be featured in the San Antonio Woman Magazine in the September/October issue! I’m featured as a Role Model! Thank you Michelle Vasquez for interviewing me! ✨🩷
I love back to school posts too but ahhh the social media strategist in me wants to remind everyone about online safety & creating a safe digital footprint for your kids.
Please remember
1. Be Wary of Revealing Locations & Bus Routes.
2. Pay attention to privacy settings
Just saw the HBO doc “Fake Famous” about Influencers and the lengths they go to fake their way like buying followers, staging photoshoots and faking their lifestyle! It was so good. And

In the first grade, President Bill Clinton drove passed our elementary, Mims Elementary, and we all went outside and waved at him. And today,

This is how millennial I am. The first thing I said when I got on stage for my TED Talk as they put the headset microphone on me was, “Sing to me Paolo” 🤣🤣
If you know you know 😜

Update on my Dad. Today is approx day 12 of COVID. Still in the hospital but improving each day. Voice sounds strong. Was able to take off the oxygen mask today and was able to breathe on his own. Levels did drop a bit when walking. They might be able to release him tomorrow. 🙏🏽
I’ve had a therapist since I was 19. Reached out for help after my first semester at Texas State where I was having a hard time adjusting to leaving my hometown. Every since I’ve been in therapy on and off but back to being consistent since pandemic. There is no shame at all
Seeking professional help is a valid and important form of self-care for women of color. There's no shame in reaching out to a therapist or counselor for support.
I want to point out when someone questions my pricing: I am a business. I pay rent, I have bills. I have food to put on mine and my husband’s table. If I was working a 9-5 in the same industry doing the same job... if you break it down, would you be questioning that?
Day 14: Both of my parents tested positive for COVID. My mom only had a cough& sniffles. My Dad had three hospital stays. He is now out & improving day by day. Can’t stress enough- Wear a mask. Social Distance. Better yet, Stay home as much as you can. & the RGV really needs help
I’ve been an LLC for three years, I’m on two boards for national organizations, I’ve worked with national brands. I’ve grown businesses, if you for one think I will work for free or discount my services, note Social Butterfly Gal is NOT a hobby. Respect my business and pricing.
Keep being you. Keep ruffling feathers. Keep making folks feel uncomfortable by your authentic and unapologetic personality! Those who are drawn and attracted to your brand will never question it! ✨ Keep being you!
My Dad is a trooper, please continue to pray for him. He went back to the hospital yesterday due to low oxygen levels. His levels are back at 100. This morning he is doing better little by little. Very alert. No ventilator. No fluid in his lungs. They have him on a Zpack.

Didn’t want to post on FB about my Dads stroke yesterday because I knew I would be bombarded with text messages asking how he was doing. In case you’re texting me and you follow me on Twitter. He is okay- no major damage. But needs to take care of himself aka better healthcare.
My hubby is finally home! He survived a year&a half of commuting from SA to Kerrville each day and we Survived two summers of long distance! So happy that chapter is over! He starts his new job with the Zoo in two weeks! So dang proud of him and sooooo happy to have him home❤️
My hubby got his offer letter for his new job 😭😭😭 I’m so stinking proud of him and excited to see him flourish as he continues to grow and climb that ladder in operations!

👏🏽 it definitely is not dead! In fact having an organic social media strategy is more important when it comes to converting. A person will see your ad and be interested, great! But, how you build the know, like, trust factor with organic content to convert is KEY!
