A Renegade’s Journey to Stillness is a timely and moving debut that seamlessly blends memoir and personal growth. Marita traces her path from her Puerto Rican roots to the ever-evolving world of Silicon Valley and, ultimately, to the fast-moving rhythm of New York City’s tech scene. This compelling and transformative narrative explores what it truly takes to heal and grow.
I share what I’ve learned about healing, growth, and what it means to lead with moral courage. This book is about the values that lead us, the conversations that change us, the quiet moments that ground us, the radical act of standing firm in who you are, to create authentic conversations and create meaningful connections.
What if your strength isn’t in the escape but in the return?
The interviews will take place online and links will be available, as they are released. The Barnes & Noble book signing, November 20th will take place between 6:30pm - 8:30pm.

Leader, Best Selling Author & Speaker
I believe leadership, whether at work or in personal life, is an intentional practice rooted in mindfulness, empathy, and purpose. True leadership empowers people not only to overcome challenges but also to innovate boldly and grow sustainably.
In life our journey is about the values that guide us, the conversations that transform us, the quite moments that anchor us, and the power of authentic connection. What are the renegade values you stand by? Those, combined with moral courage, are forces that create real change in the world.
Claim them. Live them. Release them into the world like a paper plane.
I offer an approachable, inclusive style of mindfulness instruction designed to resonate with individuals at every experience level. Through live and pre-recorded sessions on Insight Timer, I create grounded, relatable experiences that help participants.

Keynote Title: What Are You Sending Out In A Paper Plane To The World?
Keynote Description:
This keynote invites audiences to look beyond the counterfeit values imposed by the noise of the world and uncover the true principles that form the foundation of who they are, what are your renegade beliefs? It is not just about asking “Who am I?” but rather “Who do I want to become?”
Marita Challenges Us To Consider:
What do you believe in? What are you sending out into the world like a paper plane for all to see? When that plane lands at someone’s feet, what message will they pick up about who you are and what you stand for? Through this talk, she explores how aesthetic values and personal foundations guide our daily choices, and how even the smallest most authentic goals not the grand expectations others impose can pave the way toward the person we aspire to be.
By the end you feel empowered and ready to embrace whatever comes next.
