La Familia Project

Se armaron las retas! Antes del “pick up” existían las retas. Cuando la tarde perfecta era un balón, un par de mochilas o piedras para la portería y tus cuates. Se apostaba el refresco de dos litros, las papitas y quizás unos tazos o hielocos. Para que no olvidemos al niñx interior. Vamos a echar las retas en un 5v5 hasta que se prenda la luz de la calle. Se juega en piso y con tu playera del América, de las Chivas, Pumas, Cruz Azul? o quizás del Club Deportivo Oro… La que tú quieras mientras sea de México 🇲🇽. Reglas? Pos ahí vemos. Esto es para los que juegan bien, o mal, o quizás ya no juegan… pero de que se arman las retas, se arman las retas. Jueves 28 de Mayo a las 12pm. Donde? En la calle.

✨ HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY ✨
To all the mothers, aunties, grandmothers, chosen mothers, caregivers, protectors, nurturers, and women planting love into the next generation — we celebrate you today and every day. 💐

These photos are from last year’s Seeds of Support Mother’s Day celebration, part of our Colors of Wellness Series, where La Familia Project provided free wellness workshops for Mother’s and their families in partnership with BSNBCS High School and our family at . 🤍
Last year’s offerings included:
🌞 Cyanotype Art Workshop led by LFP Co-Founder Javana
🌸 Paper Flower Making Workshop by 
🧘🏽‍♀️ Meditation & Stretching by 
🥊 Boxing Classes with Founder of

Seeds of Support was created as a space to slow down, connect, create, move, heal, and give women their flowers literally and figuratively. 🌷

Thank you to everyone who showed up with openness, softness, strength, laughter, vulnerability, and care. Community healing is powerful, and motherhood in all its forms deserves to be honored with intention.

With love,
🖤 La Familia Project

La Familia Project was built from lived experience, deep care, and the belief that our communities deserve more.

More access.
More support.
More spaces to move, create, heal, and grow.

What started through Vidal’s journey with sport, healing, and mental health support, and through Javana’s work in arts, wellness, and youth empowerment, became something bigger than either of them alone. It became a shared vision rooted in community.

LFP exists to create intentional spaces where sports, arts, and wellness are not extras - they are tools for confidence, connection, self-discovery, and care. For the young people, families, and communities we serve across NYC, this work is about being seen, being supported, and being reminded that no one has to grow alone.
This is the story behind La Familia Project.

And this is only the beginning.
