About Us

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read through our profile. We are Calia and Natalia, a loving couple inspired by the young people in our lives, our elders, the earth, and the magic of the communities to which we belong. We found each other at a moment in time when our life purposes, as educators and advocates, aligned with the desire to build a family. We met in 2017, became dog parents together in 2018, bought a house in 2020, and got married in 2021. Although we’re from very different places (Natalia from Colombia and Calia from Vermont), both of our roots are within the mountains and water. Somehow, we both fell in love with Brooklyn, NY, and built our adult and professional lives there.

Calia has been an elementary school dance educator as well as a yoga teacher for over 2 decades and now also guides the diversity, equity and inclusion work at her organization. She’s also a dancer and professional singer.

Natalia is a Program Manager for an organization that uses video for human rights work and also has decades of experience working with youth, facilitating workshops, and creating all types of media. Young people have reflected the world back to us in the most honest, pure, profound ways and we feel honored to be teachers/mentors and future parents.

As a queer family, we have learned about the power and beauty of “choosing” each other and creating familial bonds with those around us that transcend blood family ties, understanding that family is more than a last name. Being able to share parenthood together would be one of the biggest gifts we could receive. We can’t wait to show our future children the world!
