Hey, we're Kathlen and Julio

The two people behind Ospina Media Co.

We didn't start out planning any of this. We each just started writing, on our own, about the things we actually knew and cared about. At some point, in June 2025, we looked at what we were both building separately and thought, why not do this together? So we did.

Today, that's grown into four newsletters, four different communities, each with more than 100,000 people reading along. Combined, that's over 400,000 people, and honestly, it's still growing.

A big part of why we went this route: we were tired of building on social media, where whether people actually saw what we had to say depended on an algorithm we couldn't predict or control. Newsletters gave us something different — a direct line to the people who actually want to hear from us, no algorithm deciding that for us.

If there's one thing that's carried us here, it's that we've always put our community first. We talk to our readers the way we've always wanted someone to talk to us: like real people, not a subscriber list.
