Meet Jennifer Estrada | Latina Content Creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennifer Estrada and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I am from Sonora Mexico. I was brought to the US when I was 1 year old. I have basically lived in Arizona all my life. When I finally had the opportunity to become a resident. I went back to where I am from and was able to see how life really is in Mexico and the struggles they face on a day to day basis. I feel that going over there really helped me value where I am in life now. I may not have everything I might want. But I do have what a lot of people over there don’t. Which is Health, a roof over my head, food, Clothes that don’t have holes a shower where I can manage the water temperature. For me this is what having it all means. And most importantly having God. A lot of us think we have things because of “luck” but in reality it is God who gives and can take away. So I am beyond blessed for what I have today and what God has in store for me in the future. Also I would like to add my upbringing was not easy as a lot of people can identify with we all had our struggles & obstacles. At a very young age up until I was 18 years old I was bullied severely to the point where I wanted to commit suicide. Every day I would go to school and it was hell for me. I remember I would ask myself since young why did girls have to be so mean and bully me because of my skin color or weight. They would pull and cut my beautiful long curly black hair. Would pinch me, bite me tear my hair out. Made me eat out of a school trash can and call me miss piggy. Shove my face in the toilet while they would record and laugh at me and call me so many hurtful words. It was definitely a nightmare. For years I would ask myself why me? was I really that hideous and fat that I did not deserve to play in the playground with the rest of them? Or get to eat a sandwich because I was a pig ? But now that I am older and having the chance to have the platform I have my goal is to show the you g girls and woman who have gone through this that if I only was I brave enough to stand up for myself and say enough is enough. And loving myself and knowing my worth things could have been different. We are all beautifully and wonderfully made and whatever we go through is to only make us stronger and wiser.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What I do is content creating. I know there’s a lot of people who do it. However what I believe sets me apart from most of the content creators there are is that I like to do a little bit of everything. Cooking, makeup. DIYS, home decor, travel women empowerment and talking about real life things. I am like a woman of many talents and I like to show woman that don’t know much of certain things how to do it. How regardless of your background. Your mind is so powerful if you want something, you GO get it. It is NOT easy everyone including your family will doubt you people who you love will Mock you. But it depends on you if you want to go for your dreams. You don’t just wish for the things you want. You take action and go for it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to camelback mountain so they can see the sunrise or sunset get to see our city and it’s beauty. Then we would go to church and thank God for everything he has done for us. Then I would take them to Mon Cheri it’s such a beautiful girly place where we can take pictures while we can have a girly brunch. Then we would let our inner kid come out and go to round 1 a Japanese inspired arcade. Go to cute Japanese restaurants! Lastly go to all those instagram worthy places we have in AZ to take pictures.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
The people who I would like to give recognition above all is God because I have been so close to death so many times yet he has been so merciful to continue on letting me live. Without him I wouldn’t be here. Next I would like to give thanks to my parents because without them I wouldn’t also be here. Thanks to all their years of sacrifices and be sure I had everything I need while growing up. Especially with them being young and inexperienced they took a role to be parents at a young age. So I thank them for doing everything they could at that time to keep a roof, clothes and food in our table even if it was just beans and tortillas. And lastly my husband for motivating to be the best version of myself and to keep going even on days I doubt myself. And loving me the way he does.
