Desiree Klaus, the founder of www.letsvamonos.com, has a compelling and diverse background. Since the age of 9, she has been using her voice in public, initially through reading scripture and singing in church choirs, and later exploring genres like Tejano, pop, and mariachi. Born to a Mexican mother who is a writer and community leader, and a father who was her partner in community activism, Desiree's upbringing in Baytown, Houston, infused her with a strong spirit and community focus.
Her academic life was marked by excellence, but upon reaching college, Desiree faced uncertainty about her career path. This period of self-learning and exploration significantly shaped her character. Her professional journey includes a start in the coffee industry at Starbucks in 2004, a transition to home health services in 2012, and a stint in insurance with Farmers Insurance in 2016. However, her father's passing in 2017 led her to reevaluate her life's direction.
The birth of Let’s Vámonos! Live in 2020 was a pivotal moment for Desiree. It began with an impromptu interview with Latina wrestler Melissa Cervantes, also known as "Thunder Rosa." This experience, captured with just an iPhone and her husband as the cameraman, became a defining moment for Desiree, encapsulating her belief in the power of community, opportunity, and pursuing dreams without the confines of traditional education.
