Hi, I’m cris
author of Embrace That Girl, writer, marketer, bnb host
After writing Embrace That Girl, an essay collection on defining my identity in my twenties to early thirties, I needed something new to sink my teeth into.
I’ve been on the internet writing about my life for 10+ years with essays featured in Thought Catalog, Wild Creative Mind, AVL Mornings, to name a few.
it’s just a phase is my newsletter re: motherhood, identity, culture, style + living the life you want. 8 years ago, I completely redesigned my life… these are my chronicles.
content marketing, social media management & book publishing & PR
i began my career working agency-side for big brands, like dunkin’ donuts, ford motor company, and eventually moved into a dual-role as a content creator & client strategist, collaborating with many local artists in miami’s design district. i hosted the fair. podcast series, where I interviewed several artist for its first all-female art show for art basel (a vogue #1 must see that yr). now I work in a mostly freelance capacity for all kinds of companies. check out my portfolio page for the highlights.
Embrace That Girl is an essay collection chronicling my twenties to early thirties and all the things we go through during those self discovery years. Think Eat Pray Loves meets Me Talk Pretty One day.
According to the good folks over at Booklife by Publisher’s Weekly it is:
“a well-crafted post-college memoir that will appeal to young readers and those looking for insightful humor on the journey to self-acceptance”
