Certainly! Here’s the revised version incorporating Sierra’s passion for **dancing Merengue in Harlem dance studios**:
---
On **July 23, 2025**, the world lost a truly remarkable and vibrant soul with the passing of **Sierra Belafiore** in **Poughkeepsie, New York**. Born on **October 11, 1972**, in Brooklyn, New York, Sierra was the beloved daughter of **Martin and Angelica Nunez**.
Sierra was a **true firecracker**—bold, full of life, and always ready with a quick wit and **spicy humor** that could light up any room. She was the loving spouse to **Sean Belafiore**, whom she married in 2005, and a fiercely devoted mother to 11 stepchildren: **Amir, Sean, Angel, Nicholas, John, Zoë, Jordan, Jeremy, Anthony, Hector, and Keyonte**. Sierra was also a proud grandmother to **six grandchildren**, who brought her immeasurable joy and laughter.
Sierra’s passion for helping others was unmatched. As a **youth trauma support advocate** at **Safe Horizon**, she dedicated her career to making a difference in the lives of young people in need. Her compassion and tireless efforts were recognized when she received the **Champions for Change** award for her extraordinary contributions. She didn’t just talk the talk—Sierra **walked the walk**, using her sharp humor and empathetic heart to connect with and uplift those who needed it most.
When Sierra wasn’t advocating for others, she was embracing the rhythm of life, especially through bachata at the vibrant dance studios of Harlem, Her love for the music, the movement, and the energy of Harlem’s dance scene brought her so much joy. Whether it was spinning on the dance floor with her beloved husband or sharing a laugh with fellow dancers, Sierra’s passion for Bachata was contagious, and she was always the life of the party.
Sierra’s spicy humor was legendary—she had a way of making you laugh until you cried, and no one was ever safe from her playful teasing. But beneath that humor was a woman who was fiercely loyal, full of love, and unapologetically herself.
Sierra’s passing leaves an immense void in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be remembered for her spicy humor, her unwavering kindness, and her deep commitment to helping others. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the laughter she sparked, and the dance floors she graced.
Sierra Belafiore may no longer be with us, but her infectious spirit love for life, and sharp wit will forever remain in our hearts.
As Sierra would often say, "Do the knowledge, man. You can’t forget the roots." And she never did—she always stayed true to her roots, her community, and her people.
Wu-Tang Forever.
She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
