Funny Video Guy Pretends to Be Spanish Mom
Meet Xiomara Rodriguez, The Viral TikToker Who Is Reminding Latinos Of Their Moms
I'm seeing memories I forgot I even had.
If you're obsessed with TikTok, chances are you've already come across Xiomara Rodriguez's videos.
But if you haven't, let me fill you in. Xiomara has created a fictional TikTok family of sorts, in which she plays a tough but loving mom to her kids, Kimberly and Brayan.
In each video, Xiomara delves into the deep crevices of our minds and pulls out memories only those with Latina moms share.
Let's just say that the acting is on a whole other level!
Xiomara, who is obviously the star behind these gems, is a Dallas, Texas resident who was born in Monclova, Coahuila in Mexico.
She told BuzzFeed that she originally just thought it'd be funny to do an impression of a Latina mom and made up kids names like Jennifer, Cassandra, and Stephanie to relate to people. But it wasn't until she used Kimberly that she noticed it take off.
Aside from the inspiration she draws from having a Mexican mom of her own, she was inspired by the conversations that we all as Latinos have with our primos and primas about things our tías did and said to us as kids.
Since posting her first mom video in 2019, Xiomara has gained more than 232K followers on TikTok and her videos have gotten nearly seven million likes.
And it's safe to say her fans just can't get enough of her.
Some are even watching and laughing along with their moms.
While others whose moms are no longer here are watching in memory of them. Xiomara said, "My mom is at the top of my list. I love my mother, so for someone to tell me that I remind them of stories of her, experiences of her, or just of their mom at all is an honor honestly."

She went on to say, "It gives me some type of peace that I can just bring a little bit of connection between them both."
Xiomara hopes these videos bring joy and a sense of connection to those who watch them. "My main goal is to just let people enjoy, have a good 60-second laugh, and just remember good stories and remind them that we've all been through this and we all lived it."
She went on to say, "It's funny because a lot of people tell me, 'Dude, did our moms all get created in the same warehouse? How did they all say the same thing?' And it's crazy because it's true."
At this point, Xiomara has created dozens of mom videos, but let me just highlight a few more of my favorite ones, starting with this gem that has more than 1 million views so far:
In this one, you'll be reminded of each time your mom told you to get off your phone:
Here we have the mom making her kids order through the drive-thru:
Here Kimberly comes home after her first day at her new job:
Kimberly gets caught with her boyfriend in this funny moment...
...is then subsequently comforted by her mother in this video after they've broken up...
...and in a sweet moment, Kimberly's mom tells her how proud she is of her.
Xiomara says that a lot of people are requesting that she do a mini reality TikTok show with the family, but for now, she's just having fun with it.
And as for her real-life mom? Xiomara says she's a fan.
