‍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 embrace growth.

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 courage isn't about leaving, but about coming home?

Hey! I'm Marita

Strategic Senior Tech Leader
Inspirational Speaker
Best-Selling & Award Winning Author

I lead through ingenuity, creativity, and authenticity, guided by pattern recognition and the ability to read between the lines. These are not rare talents. They are human strengths we all possess, and when cultivated intentionally, they become powerful tools for leadership and impact. These qualities shape how I navigate complexity, solve problems, and most importantly, how I show up for others as a leader.

I believe leadership, whether in the workplace or in everyday life, is an intentional practice rooted in mindfulness, empathy, authenticity, and purpose. It is not defined by title, but by presence, integrity, and the ability to create environments where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to do their best work.

Life and leadership are journeys shaped by the values we choose to live by, the conversations that challenge and transform us, the quiet moments that ground us, and the power of genuine human connection.

These principles continue to guide who I am, how I lead, and the impact I strive to make in the world.
