It’s late on Mother’s Day, I’m sipping mugwort + lemongrass tea, and I’m just a lil smacked while recording this voice note for you.

I’m sharing the first time I ever smoked (shoutout to the Sprite bottle bong), what it was like growing up with a strict Latina mom, and why I used to feel like I had to shrink myself just to survive the day. This one’s raw, reflective, and real as hell.

I also open up about the offer I never thought I’d create—Lunchbox Hotbox Lounge—and how it’s become the space I always wished existed.

If you’ve ever felt like you couldn’t be yourself without getting side-eyed, or you’re tired of spiraling alone… this is your sign.

DM me on IG @alejandra.mcree to join the Lounge. First 5 spots are $22.

No pressure—just presence.
