We had the good fortune of connecting with Maria Maria and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maria, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
One of my favorite quote that I mention on a daily is “To know and not to do is not to know.” -Stephen R. Covey

What should our readers know about your business?
Maria Social Consulting has a unique story that started on the idea that one day I’d find my biological family.

Growing up, I always had a fix for the Internet and how we programmed social platforms. Myspace had just launched and If you’re my age, you or someone who had MySpace will remember coding their music playlist or revamp the esthetic of their page. I did that for years not realizing those things would eventually be apart of my business strategy.

One day I just had a burning desire to locate my biological family so I took my adoption paper and create an ad campaign online. In two weeks I found my entire family. I took my personal testimony and turned it into a business. Now, I share my testimony with others and help them find their targeted audience through digital marketing. I pride my company on my life’s testimony and I believe it helps me stand out from other companies.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My tribe and I have brunch dates on weekends usually a Saturday morning. We enjoy small, family owned restaurants like Hash, Pancake Joes, Nola Brunch Beignet. If we go out to grab a drink we’re going downtown to El Camino, Bentleys, Modernist or Tony Siesta. For fun we’re going to interactive museums like Hop Scotch or Wonder Chamber and if we’re outside we are definitely going to McAllister Park or Garner state park to camp.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to my children. They all have been very supportive, inspiring and patient with me while pursuing my career. I couldn’t have asked for better children.

Thank you Avion, Anyah and Avery.

Love Mommy
