“Capturing The Hearts Of Authors, Business Leaders, Community, Celebrities And The Media.”  
Adelaida “Addy” grew up harvesting crops in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California.  Her family was involved with the UFW (United Farm Workers) and walked along with Cesar Chavez during the strikes. “SI Se Puede” “Yes You Can” were powerful words that inspired her.  When people said she couldn’t,  Addy said “WATCH ME”.  She  is the first in her family to graduate from a university &  later obtained a  Master’s Degree.  As a student, Addy produced programs for Radio Bilingue;  her focus was educational opportunities.  
Addy was a founding member of the Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Fresno as a college student. In 1988  Addy was appointed the Executive Director for the Bakersfield Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.  In 1989 the chapter was recognized as the “Western Region Chamber of the Year” by the USHCC  for rapid growth and accomplishments. Membership soared from 20 to 147 members!  She also served as Vice President, Membership Chair and attended the California State Hispanic Chamber Quarterly meetings.

Addy’s corporate experience included positions for Lockheed Martin Space  Programs in Houston TX and later EDS.   After a layoff, she looked for a way to stay home with children while continuing to work. She found her passion with jewelry.   Despite ups and downs, she established her business and developed a unique “ninch” creating jeweled bookmarks for authors.  Daniel Gutierrez, Author of Stepping Into Greatness was Addys’ first author client.  Doors  opened  with other authors such as Maria Marin,  Julie Stav, Yasmin Davidds,  Dr. Ana Nogales,  Victoria Lowe,  Mary Castillo, Sylvia Mendoza, James Parker Jr. and more.  Now opportunities are opening with  business/organizations such as Las Comadres, NLBWA, HOPE, SanDollar Cosmetics…etc.    Addy has a long track record of working successfully  with business organizations,  and supporting non profits.   By working together, parternering up and assisting fellow Latina entrepreneur’s doors open and create opportunities for the community.
