Mija, Listen.

In the last episode of 2023, Danie sits down with me for a casual catch-up.

@wearemanenough posted a clip where @justinbaldoni and his father @sambaldoni were on the @tamronhallshow talking about “the definition of being a man” and how that definition has changed. When I saw that clip, it really resonated with me because the definition Justin’s dad gave is exactly what is/was expected of women in the latino culture. It’s definitely what I saw growing up.

Sometimes things happen in life that are out of our control and we have to just go with it. I recently reached out to some some of my favorite  #Mujeres  asking them to share their current life lessons with me as I learned, grew and faced mine. Unexpectedly, it is turning out to be a beautiful experience that I am already grateful for which led to this new mini series called, "Life Lessons.&q...
