As I reflect on the last six years, I can’t help but get emotional. When I first started this journey, it was never meant to become a business. It was during the pandemic when the world felt heavy, uncertain, and honestly heartbreaking. I wasn’t working at the time, and all I could think about were the first responders, the nurses, and the doctors who were carrying the weight of everything. I couldn’t imagine what they were going through. So I did what I knew how to do, I cooked. I taught myself how to make my own dough, perfected my Pastelillos, and created that green dipping sauce you all love so much. I packed everything up and Chris delivered it to them just to say thank you. That’s it. That’s how this all started. Then something unexpected happened… people wanted more. I had no idea what I was doing. No business plan. No roadmap. Just faith, fear, and a whole lot of heart. But I just started and now here we are, six years later.
If I’m being honest, there are still days I want to quit. For those that don't know, I live with major depressive disorder and anxiety, and being a small business owner is not easy at all especially for my mental health. The demand for my food has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way, and I am truly honored and grateful, but sometimes Ifeel like I can't handle it.
Through it all, I’ve tried my very best to represent Puerto Rican culture with integrity, pride, and love. Every plate is a piece of my childhood, my family, and the island. I will continue to represent for as long as I have it in me.
More than anything, I hope I’ve made my mother proud.
Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for believing in Bori. Thank you for giving purpose to something that started with just a simple act of kindness.
I'm a little early but here’s to 6 years. And whatever God has planned next. 🇵🇷✨
