  • Tree People Volunteer Event
    March

    Equity In Action

    The Teamily volunteered with TreePeople, an organization working to bring trees, shade, and green spaces to communities historically left out. It wasn’t just about caring for trees. It was about equity and action. In one day, the Teamily helped care for 77 trees where they’re needed most.

  • Boosting Stanford

    Boosting Stanford

    Giving back is empowering. It’s a catalyst that boosts every community. That’s why José, MBA ’99, and I joined with other Board of Trustees members to create a matching fund for Stanford Day of Giving.

  • Apollo Spring Benefit
    June

    Shaping Culture

    At the 2025 Apollo Spring Benefit, I had the honor of introducing the first-ever “Innovator Award,” celebrating artists who are breaking boundaries and shaping culture across disciplines. Together with fashion icon Dapper Dan and actress-comedian Sherri Shepherd, the award was presented to Teyana Taylor.

  • We Buildin'!
    June

    We Buildin’!

    My Teamily and I celebrated the soft launch of our new space! It marked the opening of doors to community, collaboration, positivity, and opportunities. It was a defining moment in the legacy José and I are building and a stepping stone for more to come.

  • Powering Bold Ventures
    June

    Powering Bold Ventures

    Bold ideas deserve bold backing. That’s why José and I partnered with Series X Capital. They support companies from Alphabet’s Moonshot Factory that are creating tech which empowers communities, drives equity, and sparks entrepreneurship. That’s the kind of innovation we’re proud to power.

    Service Is What We Do

    Through Project Ropa, my Teamily assembled 651 hygiene kits and nearly 200 laundry kits to distribute to those in need in the Los Angeles area. Every kit was packed with essentials and handwritten notes filled with encouragement and love. We also donated supplies to make an additional 1800 laundry kits.

  • Impact With Intention
    June

    Impact With Intention

    Impact is most powerful when it’s shared. That’s why my Teamily worked alongside community members in an assembly line to distribute fresh fruits and vegetables to local Angelenos in need. This was done in partnership with Produce in the Park, a free weekly food distribution initiative.
