Hola! I'm Salime, the founder and CEO of Reformadas where you can find free Bible studies in Spanish created by Latinas for Latinas (www.reformadas.com). Friends have told me that I'm a mix between a global adventurer, an entrepreneurship enthusiast, and a theology lover. I've lived in different countries, which has shaped how I understand the world—from Mexico and the USA to China, passing through Ethiopia, and now in the heart of Texas. I've traveled extensively around the world, visiting churches and meeting brothers and sisters in different contexts but with a similar passion for Christ. I speak Spanish, English, Chinese, French, and I read Koine Greek.
I earned a scholarship to study business in the USA (yes, I am a proud nerd), and then I decided I needed to dive deeper into God's Word. So, I obtained my Master of Divinity at Southern Baptist, graduating with honors. As CEO of Reformadas, I am the creator of the vision and the ideas you see. I also create content and steer this ship with the mission of every Latina woman knowing and loving Christ through His Word.
When I'm not working, I'm a wife to a great man who knows how to show me Christ in everything and a full-time mom of three. I was even a homeschooler for a long time, so I know a thing or two about patience and creativity! I love reading (obviously) and the color pink (spoiler: guess what color everything in Reformadas is?). But what I'm really passionate about are intense conversations. As the Bible says, "iron sharpens iron," and there's nothing I enjoy more than a good exchange of ideas that deepens my faith and love for Christ.
I have taught the Bible in many different contexts and countries. I have visited more than 27 countries and taught the Bible in 13 of them. My faith is not theoretical; it has been forged in the fire of real life. I lost all my grandparents before I was 10 years old and my dad unexpectedly at 17. I've experienced the paralyzing fear of being extorted by a literal gangster and have seen up close the impact of trauma on my adopted daughter. I've moved more than 27 times, sometimes within the same country, other times across continents. But you know what? I wouldn't change any of it. Each challenge, each tear, each moment of uncertainty has refined me and drawn me closer to Christ. I have discovered that He is unbreakably faithful and good, even in the darkest moments. This is the truth I want to share with you through Reformadas: no matter what you face, Christ is enough, and His Word has the power to transform everything. And I love that you are here.
