RAMONITA AND ERIN

OUR VISION

In 2020, we locked arms and together we dreamed of building an organization that would be centered around reconciliation—with God, with ourself and with others. We recognized the need for spaces of authenticity and wanted to be the cataylsts to bring those spaces to life. In 2023, we officially launched COME.UNION, a podcast, community and organization that shares stories and begins to heal the places that divide the body of Christ (and the world) through listening, asking questions and seeking to understand one another better. We are are honored to do this work and can’t believe we GET to!

Meet the team

  • What’s up y’all? I’m Ramonita, but my people call me T (long story). I’m equal parts sugar and spice. I love HARD and I like kind people. But I am also a “tell-it-like-it -is kinda girl. As E would say, “clear is kind.” (Thanks Brenee Brown). Most importantly, I love Jesus and I try my hardest to love His people. I am an extreme extrovert and thrive on building community and creating experiences for people to be seen and known. I am super curious and want to know everybody. I have never met a stranger and I hate small talk, so if you ever come my way we will get deep fast—I guess that is why E and I work so well together.

    I am a native New Yorker—mostly from upstate but that still counts, and a proud Afro Latina (that would explain the spice :)). I have lived all over from Connecticut to DC to Chicago, but I call Portland home right now. I am married to my best friend, Jeremy and our best collaboration yet has been our amazing little girls, Storm and Sol. For over a decade I have worked in corporate America as a brand strategist/marketer where I had the amazing privilege of inspiring people through stories of some of the most remarkable humans and athletes. I believe our greatest power is in our stories and through our stories we can change the world.

  • Heeeeyy there! I’m Erin! Nice to meet you! If I were to pick two words to describe me, they would be laughter and depth. I love to laugh and make others laugh yet I will cut straight to matters of the heart in order to know people better and for them to know how loved they are! I’m a the mix of levity, spunk and authenticity—which I think is a fun combination :).

    I grew up on the beaches of St. Augustine, Florida and 18 years later, after time spent in Nashville, TN, Colorado and Oregon, I moved back to my hometown to be closer to family. I am married to my favorite human and the kindest (and hottest) guy around, John and we have three boys we are so lucky to call ours and to raise - Jude, Kai, and Asher. I spent the last 20 years volunteering and working in a ministry that mentors and shares Jesus with teens. That’s 20 years of relationships, so no wonder I am still so young at heart! I have a Masters Degree in Ministry Leadership and I love helping to raise up the next generation of leaders because healthy leaders and the impact they have matters!
