Dear Learning Enthusiasts,

I’m Mahiette Tarrago, a Cuban American deeply passionate about education, culture, and the power of language. Growing up in a multicultural environment taught me early on that being multilingual is not just an advantage—it opens doors to opportunities, connection, and belonging.

But the true spark for Ahvian The Creative™ came when my own son was told in school that speaking Spanish was a “bad behavior.” In that moment, I realized no child should ever feel ashamed of their language or culture. What began as a personal mission to preserve his Spanish became a movement to support children and families everywhere.

That is how Ahvian The Creative™ was born—a bilingual learning series designed to bridge language gaps, spark creativity, and empower children to thrive. Through stories, games, sensory tools, puppets, and interactive activities, kids don’t just learn—they embark on adventures that develop language, motor skills, and emotional growth in ways that are fun, engaging, and meaningful.

As featured in ABC News’ Hispanic Heritage Spotlight, the impact is already reaching classrooms, clinics, and families:

💬 “So many of our kids are bilingual or have parents and grandparents that only speak Spanish,” said Tonina Llull, founder of MPowerMe.

💬 “If they feel like they’re playing, they’re going to learn more,” added occupational therapist Stephanie Cameron.

💬 “He’ll go ‘carro,’ and mix Spanish and English words together. It’s super fun and interactive for him,” shared Leeza Santiago about her younger brother’s experience.

This is my mission: to pull children away from screens and give them the tools to become learners, creators, and dreamers. To ignite a love for learning and empower the next generation to grow with confidence, curiosity, and pride in who they are.

I invite you to embark on this enriching journey and uncover the sheer delight of learning alongside Ahvian The Creative™. Together, let’s celebrate the gift of bilingualism and kindle the flames of inspiration in every child’s heart. 💫

With inspiration, determination, courage, and yes—even my stubborn spirit—I continue this journey. I will not stop, because I hold a mission and a vision in my heart. Guided by God and purpose, I walk forward knowing this work is meant to be shared. And so, with gratitude, I keep going… always. After all, speaking Spanish is not a bad behavior—it’s a gift.
