My Circle meets monthly every:

I’ve been volunteering with Labeled and Loved since 2001, I used to lead Sisterhood Circles via Zoom and I really enjoyed the friendships and conversations that I had with other Moms that just get it.

I recently moved back to the  RGV and realized that our community needs something like this.

I honestly started doing it because I seeked friendship and resources and it’s been a great way for me to remind myself of my worth.

Can’t wait to Circle with you!!

Hi, I’m Julia Rivera Reyes, your Support Sister!

I live in the Rio Grande Valley with my amazing husband, Joel, and our sweet daughter, Jessa (11). Our older daughter, Nichole (24), is living her best life in Seattle, WA with her husband and their daughter.

Jessa is our Rainbow Baby—diagnosed with Severe Nonverbal Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder at 3, and later with IDD, ADHD, and Anxiety. She's our world, and being her mom is the greatest blessing, even though the journey isn't always easy. But I’ve learned to find joy in every step.

After more than 20 years in the Austin area, my family and I relocated back to the RGV to start preparing for Jessa's future. We’re focused on building a community and creating resources for her and others in our hometown—back to our roots.

I LOVE all things GOOD: GOD, FOOD, PEOPLE, ADVICE, and GREAT DEALS.

I've been a Virtual Support Sister with Labeled and Loved since the very beginning. This organization has been a true blessing, and I’m so grateful for the friends I’ve made along the way. Now, I’m excited to build a strong community here in the RGV!

My name is Nora Rivera Cookinham. I was born in Brownsville, Texas, and spent ten wonderful years growing up in Oxnard, California before returning to Brownsville, where I later graduated. I am happily married, a proud mother of two, and a devoted grandmother to six beautiful grandchildren, with whom I cherish spending my free time.

I recently retired from a fulfilling career as a medical office specialist, where I had the privilege of managing a pediatric rehabilitation facility. Working closely with such special children was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

In retirement, I enjoy cooking, fishing, and gardening—activities that bring me peace and joy. I'm excited to begin a new chapter as a co-leader alongside my niece in this amazing community, and I look forward to contributing with passion and purpose.
