About Marimer Maldonado-Hilker
Latina, proud Puerto Rican, raising a bicultural kid in the United States.
"As a Latina mom, I share my culture with my daughter. That includes swapping mac n cheese for arroz con habichuelas and dancing to salsa on Sundays. But, beyond our food and music, I want her to learn and love everything about our country. I constantly searched for resources but I couldn't find exactly what I needed: educational content that was structured yet simple and fun for the whole family.
With my daughter, I started We are Root-Ed. With over ten years of experience in marketing and five years of experience in motherhood, I wanted to create something special that could help other families that have the same dreams to raise kids that love their Puerto Rican roots."
