Cultivators…

If you’ve ever marched in the streets, signed petitions, or spoken up for those who couldn’t—this message is for you. Social justice isn’t just about fighting the good fight; it’s about making sure the right people are heard. And yet, how often do we see the loudest voices belong to those with platforms, resources, and media power?

We live in a time where change isn’t just driven by policies—it’s shaped by content, conversations, and community-building. The people shifting culture and advocating for justice aren’t always the ones with millions of followers. They’re often the ones organizing behind the scenes, educating their networks, and pushing for transformation in ways that don’t always go viral.

That’s why Siembra Connect exists—to help creators, educators, and advocates take ownership of their stories. I built this platform because I saw a gap: so many of us pour our energy into movements but don’t invest in building a foundation for our own visibility. We depend on mainstream media to notice us, social platforms to favor us, and brands to see our worth. But what if we didn’t wait? What if we built our own stage?

A strong online presence isn’t about clout—it’s about power. When you have a newsletter, a podcast, a website, or a YouTube channel, you’re no longer waiting for permission to speak. You’re building a home for your message that no algorithm can take away.

So, my challenge to you this week: How are you making sure your voice has a place to live beyond the latest trending topic?

I’ll go first…

This past week, I hosted an event called Unmuted: The Power of Community to help Social Justice Warriors learn the process of platforming themselves with intention,

I talked about how to create sustainable digital spaces for your advocacy, and ensure that your work outlasts the moment. Because the fight for justice is ongoing—but so is the need to document it, uplift it, and make sure it reaches the right people.

I would love to host another in the near future, I feel like the times we are living demand it. Connect with me via email to talk about this opportunity.

In addition to this, I am in the process of remixing the newsletter to create a consistent flow of new content focused on financial literacy, mental health and real opportunities to monetize or fund your journey. The newsletter will increase to twice weekly to avoid content overwhelm. I will also post content dail starting in March, that will not be emailed… so feel free to visit the website to see some of the real practical guides and how to content that I will be posting.

Let’s build together. Let’s cultivate something that lasts.

Con cariño y compromiso,

This is not just a Siembra Lesson… it is literally what I am doing with Siembra Connect. So I am going to share with context what I am doing here.

I Decided to Take Control of My Narrative

I started as a blogger, and I have played around with hosting and producing podcasts but never as a unified brand, towards the same goal. With Siembra Connect, the newsletter doubles as a blog… but is also a hub for the upcoming podcast and YouTube all with the same goal of empowering creators.

By not leaning so heavily on social media to carry the conversation with my audience, I have doubled down on having a direct relationship with my community.

Why I Believe Every Advocate Needs a Website

(And How to Start One)

In the age of social media, many creators and activists believe that as long as they have an Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok presence, they’re covered. But the hard truth is: if you don’t own your platform, you don’t own your impact. Algorithms change, accounts get shadowbanned, and social networks disappear overnight (remember Vine?).

That’s why Siembra Connect is built on more than just social media. We have a website, a newsletter, and a growing ecosystem that ensures that our content—and more importantly, our mission—lives beyond any one platform. A website is your digital home. It’s where people can always find you, where your content is preserved, and where you control the experience.

How to Start Your Own Website as an Advocate:

1. Choose Your Platform: Beehive is my first choice but WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix are great beginner-friendly options.

2. Secure Your Domain Name: A custom domain (e.g., YourName.com or YourMovement.org) establishes credibility.

3. Create Key Pages:

   • Home (Who you are and what you stand for)

   • About (Your story and mission)

   • Blog/Resources (Educational content, updates, calls to action)

   • Contact (How people can reach or collaborate with you)

4. Optimize for Visibility: Use SEO strategies and integrate your social media for discoverability.

5. Monetization & Sustainability: Consider donation buttons, membership areas, or courses to support your work.

👉 Siembra Connect Tip: Our website isn’t just a place to park our bio—it’s an evolving hub where we publish deep dives, case studies, and practical guides to help our community grow their influence with intention.

Learn more about how Beehiiv not only becomes a one stop shop for this critical first step in platforming yourself but helps you monetize in three really easy way that does not require 1000’s of followers.

I personally got monetized with under 100 subscribers and have been sponsored every issue since September.
