Inicia el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, una fecha en la que se reconoce el trabajo, el esfuerzo y el compromiso de los latinos en este gran país.
Agradezco a los Hispanic Heritage Awards por la invitación a su 39.ª edición, un evento histórico que, por primera vez en 39 años, se realiza fuera de Washington, D.C., para reconocer la valentía de los minnesotanos que, a pesar de la intimidación, la represión y las temperaturas extremas, se negaron a rendirse y alzaron su voz en apoyo a la comunidad inmigrante.
Ser parte de este momento también me recuerda de dónde vengo y todo lo que llevamos con nosotros cuando dejamos nuestra tierra. Orgullosamente latino, desde un rinconcito andino de aquel país caribeño que me vio nacer, Venezuela 🇻🇪 aquí estoy y aquí sigo; con raíces fuertes, sueños grandes y la convicción de que siempre hay algo por lo que vale la pena alzar la voz.

Fue grato estar allí junto a @ecosdevenezuelamn y @huellas.latinas representando con orgullo a nuestra comunidad.

Pdt El elegante traje hecho por @bymrmartinez 🤵‍♂️ Thanks!

Today we celebrate THREE years of Crasqui Restaurant. This journey has been filled with ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Today, we celebrate the wins. We celebrate the recognition. We celebrate the food. We celebrate.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this dream a reality.

Taste of Hope for Venezuela

My heartfelt thanks to @crasquirestaurant by chef @soleilramirez and @ecosdevenezuelamn for the invitation and for creating a space where people could come together in support of Venezuela during such a difficult time.

It was a beautiful opportunity to celebrate entrepreneurs, chefs, collaborators, volunteers, and sponsors from different backgrounds, each serving others and bringing the flavors and traditions of their own culture to the table in support of Venezuela.

As a community, we did what we know best: we transformed grief into purpose, found reasons to smile despite the circumstances, embraced the rhythm of our music, and in doing so, found hope again.

I came to share traditional Venezuelan sweets and left with new friends, a full heart, and an even deeper sense of pride in our Venezuelan community in Minnesota.

From this day forward, every July 15, we will celebrate the strength, resilience, and hope that unite us.

I’m grateful to everyone who attended, and to all those who generously shared their time, talent, and heart in support of a cause bigger than ourselves.

Here’s to the next smile, great food, and guarapita!

With love from my sugar heart,
Chef Hilda

When the headlines fade, the need remains ❤️‍🩹

It was an honor to be part of this fundraising event for Venezuela “Taste of Hope 🇻🇪”

Thank you to @crasquirestaurant and @ecosdevenezuelamn for making it possible.

You can always count on us to continue supporting initiatives that bring hope and help to our people.

👀For anyone who isn’t aware of the situation:

On June 24, Venezuela was struck by two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5, just seconds apart.

The disaster left thousands of families affected, people missing, children living in temporary shelters, and many lives that, tragically, could not be saved. 😔

It has been one of the most devastating disasters our country has faced in recent years.

Recovery doesn’t end when the headlines fade. It’s a long process that requires support through every stage—from emergency relief to rebuilding and long-term recovery.

That’s why we want to keep this conversation going, because every act of kindness, no matter how small it may seem, can make a meaningful difference for those who have lost so much. 🙏🏾

If you couldn’t make it this time, there will be more opportunities to help. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this cause. ✨

It was also a pleasure to stand alongside the incredible chefs who donated their time and talent. Thank you all. 🤲🏾

What you see in the videos that us our culture our happiness and resilience as a person 🛘

With love,

Hecnel 🧡

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about last night.

We spent the evening pouring guarapita, sharing stories with guests, listening to incredible musicians, watching chefs pour their hearts into every plate, and seeing volunteers work nonstop in the heat without ever complaining.

The room was full of joy.

But underneath that joy was heartbreak.

Just a few weeks ago, two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5, struck Venezuela only seconds apart. More than 4,400 people lost their lives. Thousands more were injured. Entire apartment buildings collapsed. Families are still sleeping in shelters, cars, and on sidewalks because it’s safer than going back inside what’s left of their homes. For many, the work of rebuilding hasn’t even begun.

It’s hard to wrap your head around that kind of loss. Last night, our community chose not to look away.

CrowBar and Voliere Spirits were incredibly honored to be part of the inaugural Taste of Hope Venezuela.

As someone who has spent her entire career in hospitality, these are the moments that matter. The moments when food, drinks, and gathering around a table become something more meaningful than themselves.

To Soliel, the Crasqui team, Ecos de Venezuela and everyone who organized, volunteered, performed, cooked, donated, attended, or supported this event in any way, thank you for letting us be a small part of something so beautiful.

If you missed it, you missed something special. Not because of what was served. Because of what was shared.

One of the things that moved me most was knowing that this wasn’t just about raising awareness. Ecos de Venezuela is working to make sure support reaches the people and communities who need it most. Real families. Real homes. Real lives that need help rebuilding.

If this story moves you, please don’t let it end with this post.

Follow Ecos de Venezuela. Share their mission. Watch for upcoming events. Donate if you’re able. Talk about what’s happening. The fundraiser may be over, but the need isn’t.

Because rebuilding a home takes money.

Rebuilding a community takes time.

And rebuilding hope takes all of us. ❤️🇻🇪
