Welcome to my website! This is the digital site of my work as a writer and media practitioner.

Marivir R. Montebon is a New York-based journalist who runs her media company Awesome Media, Ltd. In 2012, she established the online magazine OSM! (awesome!) together with her daughter, Leani Alnica Auxilio. In 2022, she produced Conversations with MM, a digital talk show, on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook platforms.

MM was president of the FilAm Press Club of NY in 2018 and 2019. She set up a 501 (c) (3) non-profit in 2018 called Women’s Immigration and Communications Cafe (WICCAFE). It has a project arm called Women & Media (WAM), a collaborative platform for women and communities to amplify their voices and actions.

MM was a media fellow for Montclair University’s Cooperative Media Program for Covid19 Reporting in 2020 and a member of the Theta Alpha Kappa honor society.

She finished her Doctoral Studies, with distinction, at the HJ International Graduate School for Peace and Public Leadership in New York City with focus on Peace and Public Leadership. Her doctoral research is titled: Bridging the Political Divide of US Immigration Reporting through Transformative Journalism.

MM loves black coffee and does a gratitude prayer to propel her day which usually starts at noon.
