…and that’s a wrap! Bye August
Hi 👋, I’m Maria — founder of Root of Life Juicery 🌱
Many of you know me from my farmers market days. Six years later, here we are. Root of Life has always been more than a juice bar. It’s love, it’s community, it’s my sweat, love, and tears.
Root of Life started with just two of us, and two years ago I stepped out on my own. Hardest and best decision of my life. I never thought I’d be here, most days I still can’t believe it. 🥹
I remind myself daily that I’m human. I’ll make mistakes, I’ll stumble, but I keep showing up because I love this.
Here’s who I am:
• A proud Latina, grateful for the sacrifices of the men and women before me.
• A mom to a little boy who inspires me to break cycles and dream bigger.
• A dog lover and animal lover who believes every living being deserves a chance.
• A woman who loves deeply, criticizes herself the hardest, but keeps showing up with heart.
Root of Life is not just about juices. It’s about cultura, about proving that our stories, our flavors, and our people belong in spaces like this. (Please read that again! Believe it! Take up space! Be proud of who you are!) ✨🌞🤍
Today we took the afternoon to connect as a team. We are so fortunate not only to have our doors open, but to be busy, really busy, in times when so many small businesses are struggling. When you support ROL, you’re not just buying a juice. You’re supporting these amazing humans behind the bar…future leaders, dreamers, and community builders.
There are still days I can’t believe this little Mexican girl is living this life. No tengo palabras, estoy muy agradecida. Thank you to Spirit, to my ancestors, and to every single one of you who has ever walked through our doors.
And if you ever see me; please say hi! 💛 I’d love to know how you first came across Root of Life and what keeps you coming back.
This is bigger than me. This is all of us. This is Root of Life. 💚
Thank you for reading this! 🤍
