It's

Maria Ramirez

WRITER | MARKETER | FOUNDER | MOTHER | WARRIOR

Hey Maria here! I'm glad you found my little corner.

If you don't know me yet, here's a little something about me...

I am a content/copywriter and a digital marketing strategist turned business owner. But my journey isn’t just about marketing businesses. It’s about building with intention and influencing with purpose, while owning the path of creating the life I want.

I wear many hats... founder, writer, marketer, cancer warrior, mom and forever student of the game. And these days, my focus is threefold:

▸ Building brands that stand out and scale through my marketing and branding service, where I help founders cut through the noise with brand-led marketing strategies that drive real, sustainable growth.

▸ Creating bold brand statements through Teksto, where ideas turn into words, products, and expressions that help people and businesses say what they really stand for.

▸ Sharing the mindset behind the work of building businesses, opening up about life itself, from my battle with cancer to the highs and lows of being a single mom, and the real, unpolished journey of growth through my blogs and newsletters and hot takes on my socials.

Because I truly believe that success isn’t built with just strategy, it’s also mindset, resilience, and a little bit of audacity. It’s about creating impact and a life that actually feels aligned with who you are. If you’re here for straight-shooting insights on entrepreneurship, mindset, marketing, you’re in the right place.

This space is where I share what it looks like to build businesses, stay sane, and live with purpose. As someone who’s learning how to lead with grace and grit, here you will find stories, lessons, and tools from a founder building multiple brands while raising a family and keeping her heart open. I write about entrepreneurship, mindset, life, stoicism, my battle with cancer and the thoughtful side of marketing.

A Cause Close to My Heart

I’m a Sarcoma Warrior and that experience changed how I value time, community, and purpose. My advocacy is about leaning into life with compassion, showing up for others, and using my voice to help bring light where it’s needed most.

My journey as a founder isn’t just about building businesses.. it’s about what those businesses stand for, and how I use the platform I’ve been given to elevate others.

Long before I ever coined “entrepreneur" and founded

Next Level Marketing Hub and Teksto, I founded

Sarcoma Alliance of the Philippines.

I’ve walked through the fire myself as a Big C warrior and I know deeply what it means to face uncertainty, fight for every breath of hope. That journey shifted everything for me. How I see time, what truly matters, and how I want to show up in this world.

It taught me to cherish presence over perfection and impact over optics.

My experience taught me that no one should have to walk that path alone. So through small gatherings, gift-giving, shared stories, and heartfelt connection through our group chat, we built community with others battling sarcoma, gave space for joy amid hardship, and reminded each other that even in the toughest chapters, there’s meaning and strength to be found.

To me, advocacy is personal. It’s not just writing about resilience, it’s living it. It’s giving my time and energy to causes that matter, showing up for others who need someone in their corner, and using the voice and privilege I have to help lift others up. It’s a reminder that the gifts we uncover in our struggles, the gratitude, generosity, courage are meant to be passed on.
