MEET THE HOST
Adri is a therapist, educator, and community builder who believes healing starts at the root.
She immigrated from El Salvador at 16 and have been navigating the in-between ever since, between cultures, languages, expectations, and becoming. That lived experience shapes how they show up: with depth, compassion, and a commitment to making healing more accessible.
As the host of Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri creates space for honest, tender, and truth-telling conversations. Through stories rooted in identity, generational healing, and self-awareness, they remind us that we’re not alone, and we don’t have to figure it all out by ourselves.
