About Terca

 

Welcome to Terca. Our mission is to root for you while on your journey of wellness and self-care. We want you to be fiercely stubborn (Terca in Spanish) when it comes to taking care of yourself, defending your rest, your health, and your overall well-being.

I'm Mariel Corona, the founder of Terca. I'm an actress and a creative, and I suffer from Sickle Cell Disease. Why is my health condition part of my credentials? Well, Terca was born after a recent hospital stay, my worst crisis yet. After reviewing my case, one of the doctors referred to me as a "tough cookie." It made me reflect on the type of woman I've had to be my entire life simply to stay alive.

It also led me to make a conscious career detour and indefinitely pause my career as a creative after almost 17 years of working for Fox, Disney, National Geographic, and Univision (among others) to focus on my acting career, my true passion. I am on a journey to live life on my terms, being as "stubborn" with the other areas of my life as I've been to survive this horrible diagnosis.

We will continue to launch Terca-branded products such as our candles and oil diffusers, as well as other products from brands we love and want to share with you.

Additionally, 5% of every purchase will benefit children suffering from Sickle Cell Disease in the Dominican Republic, my native country.

Thank you for being here!

Mariel
