I Am My Grandmother's Daughter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781717285102)

A Native New Yorker, Jennese grew up in an entrepreneurial family. Her father owned his own bread route aka "el panadero", and her grandma owned her own botanica, a store dedicated to all things spiritual, and later sold Avon. Jennese continued the entrepreneurial family tradition and opened her own law office. As a lawyer, Jennese is licensed in New York and admitted to the United States Supreme Court, sat as Executive Board member of The Puerto Rican Bar Association, and had an opportunity to meet the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor and say to her, "Madame you're a true Diva Latina!" Jennese is also a social media enthusiast, influencer, and blogger at LaDivaLatina.com. Her blog was so successful, it was stolen from the internet via cyber-squatting. Using her legal acumen, she regained her website in record time. Through LaDivaLatina.com she has been invited as a speaker to many events, such as Latinas con Vision with New York Life and Latina leadership Forum with 100 Hispanic Women of Westchester. She has also attended Cover Girl events, New York Fashion Week, In the Heights Broadway Show, the popstar sensation Pink's concert, and she even met the iconic Jennifer Lopez. Jennese jokes that she can now rest because she has met her two role models: Jennifer Lopez and the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor! As a true serial entrepreneur she now adds author to her list of enterprises with her first book, I Am My Grandmother's Daughter, an autobiographical memoir of being raised by her grandma, a Taina high priestess, in a world of spirituality and magic. Jennese is working on her second book due to be out in December. Follow her on social media @njdivaesq and her websites: jennesetorres.com, newjerseydiva.com, and of course LaDivaLatina.com.
