“Somos un bonche de mujeres exitosas, algunas con los pies en la tierra, algunas con la cabeza en las nubes y otras con expectativas en el más allá. Todas fuertes, guapas y divertidas y por eso las respeto de corazón. Con o sin marido, mal folladas o felices, en español o en inglés, nuestra única intención en la vida es diseñar y construir un puente indestructible entre nuestros corazones y nuestras mentes.”
Somos María, Linda, Martita, Astrid, Gladys, Victoria, Yamila, Zulma, Elisa y Cecilia: diez mujeres, un camino... En este honesto (#nofilter) y humorístico relato nos damos cuenta lo distintas que somos y cómo, al mismo tiempo, queremos lo mismo: simplicidad, amor, paz, balance, celebrar nuestra feminidad, y saber que todo va a estar bien. Que sólo podemos controlar nuestras intenciones, mas nunca los resultados. Aunque a veces nos cueste reconocer y escuchar por temor a ser vulnerables por temor a lo desconocido—a lo que ya está escrito, rompemos estereotipos según los vamos creando. Así, nos declaramos perfectamente imperfectas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
We are a group of successful women, some with our feet firmly planted on the ground and some with our heads in the clouds. We are all strong, beautiful, and funny and that is why I respect them wholeheartedly. With or without a husband, miserable or happy, in Spanish or English, our only intention in life is to design and build an indestructible bridge between our hearts and our minds.
We are María, Linda, Martita, Astrid, Gladys, Victoria, Yamila, Zulma, Elisa and Cecilia. In this honest (#nofilter) and humorous story we realize how different we are and how, at the same time, we want the same things: simplicity, love, peace, balance, celebrating our femininity, and knowing that everything is going to be fine. That we can only control our intentions, but never the results. Although sometimes we find it difficult to listen for fear of being vulnerable, for fear of the unknown, we break stereotypes as we also create them. Thus, we declare ourselves perfectly imperfect.

María Cristina "Cristy" Marrero habla español y come mofongo. Está obsesionada con las relaciones interpersonales y los seres humanos, en general. Tal vez a eso se deba que sea la primera latina nombrada portavoz oficial de Zoosk.com. También le obsesiona bastante crear contenido con sustancia que conecte y enganche. O al menos eso espera.
Como vice presidenta editorial de la afamada revista Hola! USA, Cristy tiene claro que su llamado en esta vida es escribir. En general, la orgullosa hija de Lucas (Q.E.P.D.) y Nydia, es una mujer feliz. En su faceta de periodista, ha sido merecedora de prestigiosos premios tales como: Women in Communications, Inc. Rising Star Award (2013), Julia de Burgos Award (2014) otorgado por el National Puerto Rican Day Parade, MIN Most Intriguing People in Media Award (2015), Folio Awards Top Women in Media 2015 y, más recientemente, con el Hispanic Heritage Month Award.
En su tiempo libre (nótese el sarcasmo) colabora con varios programas de televisión, enseña yoga Kundalini, practica reiki, corre bicicleta entre Manhattan y Brooklyn, escucha al menos dos podcasts al día, maquina cuál será su próxima vacación y es miembro del consejo del National Puerto Rican Day Parade, March of Dimes y A.S.M.E.
Cristy ama los paréntesis (porque le dan espacio extra para añadir más B.S.), la comida saludable y el helado (no necesariamente en orden de importancia). Su filosofía de vida la resume en un dos palabras y un hashtag: #relájateycoopera.
Las imperfectas es su primer libro, pero como sufre de Positivismus Extremus, amenaza con volver a escribir y publicar (fingers crossed!).
