Toro & Tides was born from the tensions between strength and surrender. We create apparel that’s not just wearable but meaningful.

Named for the bull - a symbol or resilience - and the tides - the ebb and flow of recovery. We don’t believe in fake hustle

Playing a never-ending game of Where’s Waldo… except I’m searching for words. 🧠🔎

Lately, my word-finding difficulties have become more noticeable. I know exactly what I want to say, but sometimes my brain just can’t find the words.

It’s frustrating, exhausting, and one of the many invisible challenges of living with a brain injury.

Transparency matters, and this is part of my reality.

I’M GETTING TRASHY FOR A GOOD CAUSE! 🗑️🧠

I’m honored to be serving as Master of Ceremonies for the Brain Injury Association of America’s National Luminary of the Year event!

Leading up to November 13, I’m challenging myself to raise $5,000 for BIAA, with 100% of donations going directly to the organization.

And here’s where things get trashy…

For every $10 donated, I’ll pick up one piece of trash from the beach!

💰 $1,000 = 100 pieces of trash

💰 $3,000 = 300 pieces of trash

💰 $5,000 = 500 pieces of trash

I’ll be sharing milestone updates along the way so you can see exactly how much trash you’re making me pick up!

Every donation helps support BIAA’s mission of providing advocacy, education, resources, and support for individuals living with brain injury and their families.

You donate. I get dirty. The brain injury community wins!

LET’S GET TRASHY! 🗑️🌊🧠

BUILDING CONNECTIONS IN PUERTO RICO! 🇵🇷🧠

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Luis Salazar Géigel of Fundación LSG, which represents the Brain Injury Association of Puerto Rico (BIAPR).

Like me, Luis is a brain injury survivor. His life changed after a car accident in which he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

We spent time talking about our injuries, the challenges we’ve faced, and the gaps in care and resources available to brain injury survivors here in Puerto Rico.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned throughout my recovery is just how important it is to have access to the right resources and a community of people who understand what you’re going through.

We also talked about ways we can work together to help other survivors on the island. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done, but I’m excited about the opportunity to collaborate and continue building connections.

We’re stronger when we work together! 🇵🇷

What an incredible few days in Austin!

Hope for Minds invited me to their annual Making Connections Pediatric Brain Injury Conference. The organization has helped more than 1,200 families across 47 states affected by pediatric brain injury.

I was invited to speak during a session and share my story about finding purpose after brain injury. I also had the opportunity to lead two support groups and hear from so many inspiring kids and families.

This was also a big first for Toro & Tides. We set up our first ever exhibit at a conference!

I’m really proud of this step and what we’re continuing to build. Being able to connect with survivors, caregivers, families and medical professionals is exactly what Toro & Tides is all about.

Thank you to Hope for Minds for inviting me out and giving me the opportunity to be part of such an incredible weekend! 🧠🌊

MOMENTUM IS BUILDING! 🇵🇷🧠

This morning, I met with an advisor to the President of the Senate of Puerto Rico.

I shared my story. I educated his office about brain injury. And I explained why students recovering from brain injury need access to immediate, temporary academic accommodations through ITAP.

The response was encouraging. The President’s office plans to coordinate efforts with my senator as we continue working to bring ITAP to Puerto Rico.

If enacted, ITAP would help students get the temporary accommodations they need in the classroom while recovering from a brain injury.

Because a short-term recovery shouldn’t have long-term consequences.

🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM PUERTO RICO’S CAPITOL

Today, I pitched a change that could help brain-injured students get the support they need when returning to the classroom.

Senator Wandy Soto listened and now she’s looking at a path to make it LAW.

This could be big.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Plasticity Lab has officially been downloaded 118 times! How cool is that?!

I programmed this app using my lived experience as a brain injury survivor. The exercises were inspired by similar ones I’ve completed throughout my time at 19 different rehabilitation facilities.

Plasticity Lab works on memory, word finding, attention, and processing speed which are all things I struggle with every day. I took exercises that have helped me during my recovery and put them into an app for you to use.

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded it, used it, and supported this mission. We’re just getting started!
