So thank you so much for having me.
Thank you. Thank you.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: Yeah. So today we're honoring Women's International Day, you know, honoring the space of how women have grown together in community, economically, socially and in politics. You know, with all their successes, we want to honor them and we want to just, just kind of just share that space on how we manifested and perhaps we can also share how our ancestors manifested. Yvette has a beautiful stories of three sisters in the Dominican Republic.
Ladies and gents, before we continue, I just want to just thank you. Mha. You know, Mental Health America Dutchess county sponsors this fourth episode and we're very happy. Thank you so much. Andrew o', Grady, he's the CEO and he believes in our vision. They have a space where they provide comprehensive care, you know, for people that are seeking for mental illness. They also have programs for addictions. Very grateful for Andrew for hosting and helping us move forward, sponsoring this episode. Thank you so much, Andrew. So Yvette, did. Let's just talk about what, what inspired you to create this particular episode.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: Well, it came to me from the our first three episodes and we have talked about so many different topics and I felt that March 8 is Women's International Day. And I thought about La Cetmana Miravales that have been a great inspiration to me and to a lot of Dominican women. And what better way but to talk about their story?
[00:03:08] Speaker A: That's amazing, you know, and I'm glad that you brought them up because they were someone that my grandmother used to talk to me about it.
[00:03:16] Speaker B: Before I start talking about Las El Mana Miravales, I always like to introduce a little bit of what I call El Bochinche. So El Bochinche in La Repubblica Dominicana este mes, they're still celebrating Cannaval.
And I attended Canaval when I was a teenager, when I was an adolescent, and I totally fell in love with it.
Therefore, I want to talk about it. So El Carnaval empiesa durante el dia de yves impendencia. It's February 28th, is Dominican independence Day.
That is the beginning of El Carnaval. And it continues for the month of March and is celebrated all throughout Dominican Republic.
In La Vega, in Santo Domingo, Santiago de los Caballeros, where my mother comes from.
And I just wanted to tell the audience, if you ever have an opportunity to go to Dominican Republic, go during the month of February, towards the beginning of March, so you can really embrace our culture, because it's a fun time of the year. It's always fun because lo Dominicanos.
[00:04:36] Speaker A: Little extra.
I know, I know, I know.
[00:04:59] Speaker B: So that opens up for me to tell our audience about the history about these three beautiful women.
And before I actually speak about them, I'm going to backtrack a little bit, Start by saying, you know, imagine living in a world where there is unity, unity not just amongst women, but also unity amongst men and women and having equality, equality that we are all the same and that we all have the same opportunity because of that. That's how the movement for Women's International Day started back in March 1911.
So this is not something that just started 10 years ago or 20 years ago. The. The women that marched back in the 1900s, they were marching to fight for the right to vote. They were marching for the right to have the same working hours as men.
And before they received the right, a lot of women died fighting for us today to have a voice.
And not just American women, for American women to have a voice, but for all women to have a voice. Because that opened up the explosion for women from other countries, you know, in. In Denmark, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Dominican Republic also. They were women that they were fighting to have a voice.
And today we honor those women, those women that lost their lives, Those women that march, 15,000 women marched out in the streets in New York for us to be able to not only have a voice, but for us to have this podcast today because they made it all possible for us today.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. One of my favorite movies is the Mona Lisa Smile. There's a Mona Lisa Smile. It's a movie with a whole bunch of powerful women in college got together, and they organized something on how to fight for their rights and for those, you know, positions they wanted in college that they couldn't get. They were professors and teachers, but they used to always downgrade them because they were women. And this was back in the 1900s or, you know, like back in 1911. Yeah. I mean, we've always been put in the corner because we're women. Because, you know, which to me is.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: Very interesting because, yes, we are women, but we are mothers. You know, without us, there wouldn't be life.
And I go back. God knew what he was doing when he created the woman.
We are strong and we can bear pain. And we keep fighting no matter what happens. We rise from whatever challenges life presents.
And I have a hard time understanding why some people don't honor us as women that give life because they've been programmed.
[00:08:10] Speaker A: And maybe Viviana wants to talk about it. Why do you think that some, some people don't appreciate La Madres?
[00:08:18] Speaker C: Well, I do think that we as mothers are being appreciated, but it's more like, for me, right. My experience is more like the fact that, that we are women.
Believe it or not, like it or not, we still live in a men's world.
And I believe that people who are not looking at us as the way they should is because they're afraid.
They're afraid of our power, they're afraid of our intelligence, creativity, everything that we bring to the, to the table.
And, you know, fear, in my experience, is the worst weapon that exists in the world.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:09:15] Speaker C: So if people are fearful of, you know, our greatness, they're going to try to diminish us.
They're going to try to, you know, they won't let us shine or whatever. On the other hand, there are a lot of men today, a lot of people who want us to, you know, to shine, who wants to help us thrive, but we are still in a struggle.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: I think there's struggling.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: It's a lot of work to do still.
[00:09:52] Speaker B: You're right, Viviana. There's a lot of work for us women to do.
And part of that work is uniting and supporting each other as women.
And the theme this year for International Women's Day, islaateaction.
So today we're taking action in saying, let's unite as women. Let's unite and not only unite with our. With each other as women and supporting each other, but let's also unite with men because they can also give us support. And that support is needed. We can't all be fighting against each other. You know, we are one human race and in order for us to continue and to stay in unity and break down that fear that you spoke about.
We need each other.
[00:10:49] Speaker C: We do.
[00:10:50] Speaker A: I think Jesus made, I think Jesus made us for, for, for. For Adam so he can be better.
Adam would have been hard, you know, I think he made the woman so we can be better. We are the mothers, we're the creators. We're the ones that navigate these babies lives, that our husbands, our partners lives. You know, if, if we have good communication with our partner, our husbands will come to ace. What do you think about this? What's your input on this? That's the conversation I'm having with my husband. And that's why we now have a business, because we look at it, can we work together? Can we do this? You know what I'm saying? You need to start those conversations. But the masculine and the feminine have not been together having these harmonious conversations for years.
It's always been, it's always been the struggle of the pole of resistance. You know, we have to hear, listen to each other so we can make each other better.
[00:11:44] Speaker C: Absolutely. I think that women supporting one another is a powerful tool for especially ending oppression.
The fact that there's not equality.
And when we come together in solidarity, we create spaces where we can share our experiences and lift each other, you know, lift each other up and push for change together. We were actually talking about this last night with Yvette on a phone call. And I was expressing the fact that I noticed how women are against each other all the time.
And we do need this type of support because it's not only about offering encouragement, you know, although it's crucial.
It's also about creating opportunities within each other, like what we're doing right now, you know, opportunities for collaboration, for mentorship, for leadership.
And I, as a leader, I've seen firsthand how empowering women can lead to transform and shift lives.
And when we transform ourselves, we transform everything around us.
[00:13:16] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:13:17] Speaker A: The one that blossoms, that everything makes looks better.
So we illuminate everything.
So I want to echo on what you said earlier, what you just said about women supporting each other. And unfortunately that's not always happening because we're all in a different mindset.
When we learn to let go of ego, we all trying to figure it out. You know what I'm saying?
[00:13:44] Speaker C: We are all in the same boat.
[00:13:46] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: That's when we bring in a better conversation and we grow and glow together. And that's what International Women's Day should be about. Different women working together, getting their tribe and Making it better for you, for you, for you, for us, for all of us as a group, and informing others how to do that, because there's a lot of women.
How do I start?
[00:14:12] Speaker C: Yeah, as women, most of us, we feel this pressure that we have to do it all. We have to have it all together.
And, you know, that's a lot of pressure because, you know, we feel like we have everything on top of our shoulders.
And when we allow ourselves to be open about our challenges, it help to create a safe environment for others that are feeling the same way. And, you know, that's the way we can help each other and create these deep connections and allow women to step into, you know, their authentic selves free from judgment. If you're a better, better mother because you do this, because you do that, or you're not, or you don't have kids or why these or why that? I mean, who cares?
[00:15:09] Speaker B: How do. Viviana, as a leadership coach, what do you suggest that we can do to implement or to create that unity and to break down that barrier that women are afraid of other women?
How do we go about doing that?
[00:15:29] Speaker C: Well, I feel that, first of all, we have to acknowledge that we want that because, you know, if you're a man or a woman, it doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge that, you know, I want to become that person, I want to become that woman, I want to become that man. If you don't acknowledge that first, there's nothing you can do because you're going to keep seeing the same thing.
So first of all, we do have to acknowledge and be conscious about what are we doing as individuals? What am I doing as an individual, as a woman, as. As a man?
What am I offering to my. My surroundings, to my people, to my family, to my friends?
What is my gift to them? Am I doing the. Am I doing it the way I wanted to do it or I just feel the pressure? I feel that, oh, I have to.
You know, for me, one of the first things that we as women need to do to unite and to have the ability to rise above challenges, to build resilience and, you know, create a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive is supporting one another in a very authentic way. Just be yourself.
Be you.
And to be you, you need to love yourself first.
And that's something that we're not taught since we are little.
We should teach our kids, since we are really small, to first love yourself.
It's not a selfish thought.
It's a necessity. It's a necessity because if I don't love myself, if I don't appreciate myself, if I don't value myself, what am I going to give my kids?
How am I going to give them the same, you know, how am I going to teach them to do that?
[00:17:44] Speaker A: Show up. Yeah, how you going to show up?
[00:17:46] Speaker C: And, you know, unfortunately, it's not something that I see that we do with kids.
And, you know, it's starting to change, but I think it's going too slow.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: I would like to echo on what she said, because we have talked about this in our previous podcasts, that it's important for us to love ourselves, but there's that connotation out there that because you're loving yourself, that you're being selfish. I truly believe that God wants us, us to love ourselves.
And in loving ourselves, we're able to be better parents, we're better wives, we're better mothers, we're better sisters, because we need to learn to know ourselves.
And when we learn to know ourselves, then it makes us better people.
So she had an excellent point.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:18:45] Speaker B: And that's what this show is about, bringing that awareness.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: Well, yeah, it's community, too. It's like sharing what we're doing so to inspire, you know, hopefully inspire you guys to do the same and find your group and find your tribe. Because when women get together and share their experiences and share what their ideas and, you know, yada, yada, yada, trust me when I tell you it's. It's a nice exchange. And everyone grows, not just one particular person.
You know, when we're sharing how we feel and what we're doing is so we, we can share this for all of us to grow. It's just not. We're not being selfish. But I don't know about you, Yvette, but when I was a little girl, you know, there was a lot of challenges at home. And one of the things my mother used to say, you just, you said it earlier. You can't love yourself because that's being selfish. How can that possibly be?
If you don't love yourself, how can you possibly love others? First of all, because you don't even know what the feeling feels like. As an energy worker, I'm just kind of sharing that experience.
You have to be able to have an open heart and love yourself, to receive love and light and to be love and life for everyone else, you know, so you have to love yourself before you start succeeding on your way of manifesting. So working with women with an open heart, receiving that no one has no one's better than anyone. Everyone's just.
[00:20:14] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:20:14] Speaker A: Everyone's bringing something beautiful and magical to a play. We're all like beautiful flowers, petals, different colors, different energy, different vibes.
So, yeah, I'm glad that she said that.
[00:20:24] Speaker C: We.
[00:20:25] Speaker A: We talked. We kind of dabble on that. Thank you.
[00:20:27] Speaker B: And I'm glad that you put it in that perspective, because when you look around you and you look at creation, there isn't just one flower. There isn't just one kind of bird. There isn't just one kind of tree.
There's diversity.
That's why we all are different people.
[00:20:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: Because again, God knew exactly what he was doing when he created nature, when he created human beings.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: There's a balance. There's a balance.
[00:20:57] Speaker B: There's a balance. And not only that, you know, in part of loving yourself and knowing who you are brings power to you, and it brings the power for you to feel strong enough to have that voice.
We started talking about International Women's Day and how women back in the 1900s fought for all the rights that we have today. I want to talk about because they, too, were very powerful women in DOMINICAN REPUBLIC In 1960, they came together with another group to bring down the dictator that was president at the time.
Rafael Trujillo was the president of Dominican Republic for 30 long years.
And during the time that he was president, he gave the people around him a lot of benefit and a lot of support. But if you didn't believe in his government, then he would take that away from you and the people that did not want to go along with his rules and regulation, and his government suffered.
And La El manos miravales, these were these women, they were educated, they had businesses, they were mothers, they were wives. And they found the strength within themselves to say, enough is enough.
And last week, we spoke about no excuse for abuse. So not only did they bring this voice in Dominican Republic, but they were like, no more abuse. We will come together and we will fight the government, and we will fight the rules and regulation. And due to that, he arranged for them to be assassinated. Of course, at the time, they made it look like it was a car accident, but it was not a car accident. Years later, in through investigation, it was discovered that he had them killed. And he had them killed because he wanted to stop their voice.
And he also used to control the newspaper there at the time, and it was called El Caribe. Yes. El Caribe published their story that it was accidental, but it was not accidental at all.
And not only have women lost their lives, to speak about our rights and for us to be empowered not only in Santo Domingo. Porque Viviana es de Argentina y es muy bonito que dos Dominicana in vitaron Viviana ques de Argentina y tam bien el yaba hablar del historia de una mujer muy poderosa en supais.
[00:23:59] Speaker C: That's right. Well, let me tell you, I'm not too familiar with my country's history because I left Argentina 44 years ago.
However, I do know that an interesting fact about Eva Peron was the first lady when her husband Peron was the president.
So an interesting fact about her is that she was the pioneer for women's rights in Argentina.
As first lady, she was the one who championed women's suffrage, you know, the vote.
And that was in, if I'm not mistaken, around 1947.
So thanks to her efforts, Argentine women were able to vote back then.
So, you know, she was an advocate for women.
And she didn't live too long because she was sick. And I think she was as a First lady for like three years, I'm not really sure, but it was a short period of time.
And she also worked very tirelessly for labor rights for women, social welfare programs for women, empowerment initiatives for women.
So, you know, her legacy still, it's inspiring women movements nationwide in my country.
So she's a very important figure in the ongoing fight for gender equality back in Argentina.
[00:25:49] Speaker A: That's pretty amazing. So I just want to share that both stories are amazing because La Gelmano and Mirabal were all about community and taking care of Santo Domingo, you know, and being so righteousness. And Eva was about taking care of the feminine energy and making sure that she had support and she had foundation, because that's all we need. If we have a good foundation, Women have good foundations.
We can build from there. All we need is good foundations. So La Mirabal was all about protecting not only women, but protecting la comunidad because there was so many unfairness going on. And Eva was about protecting the feminine to make sure she had a roof over her head and make sure she had a voice.
So that's women, international women. Because Ayanom Santo Domingo, this was back in 1911. This was back in 1947. Do you see how these ladies opened the doors for other women to see and follow that?
[00:26:46] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:26:48] Speaker A: I'm just fascinated by the synchronicity of it. I have to share that.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: Absolutely. There's a rich history, and because there is that rich history, why today we're still pulling it apart let's come together, let's join together as International Women's Day and support each other instead of pulling each other apart and learn from each.
[00:27:13] Speaker A: Other, from each other's examples, better version of ourselves, you know, learn. I have two beautiful daughters and I have a granddaughter now. I want her to learn from the best version of me, you know, through, you know, I find my struggles. But I don't need her to learn that. I need to learn how happy I am and moving forward, how you can manifest your dreams.
Because that's manifestation also involves you being happy. Happy, go lucky. And that also helps you work with other people. But if you're not happy, go lucky on yourself. You're not going to want to help with other people. You're not going to want to participate.
[00:27:47] Speaker B: But Viviana had a good point. You know, we're building a legacy for our children and opening the doors for them later on in life. Because also that's what one of the Mirabales sister did. I believe it was Marver's daughter that she's. She became the congresswoman for Dominican Republic. And at one point she was beautiful, vice foreign minister for Dominican Republic. So her mother laid that ground for her daughter to have that opportunity.
So that's what we're doing for our children to have an opportunity later on in life and for them to have a voice and for them to have the right to. To say, this is what I believe in and for them to fight what they believe in.
[00:28:34] Speaker C: Absolutely amazing.
[00:28:35] Speaker A: Absolutely. But it starts, it starts from the mom, you know, it starts. It starts from the mom planting that seed in that little baby. You're going to be this, you're going to be that. You could be anything you want. You know, it's just the words, the sound, the energy you bring to that child, you know, especially a feminine girl, because girls are all over the place and they're very nosy.
So you have to kind of.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: I have to inquisitive. The word that I like is inquisitive. We're naturally inquisitive because we're naturally inquisitive. I think it gives us that energy, that strength that we need to do the things that we believe in and to fight for that.
[00:29:14] Speaker A: Absolutely, you're absolutely 100% so. But we have to start when they're children. That's. That's what I was trying to say. We have to start when the Zompe.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Can like, you know, to lay that.
[00:29:25] Speaker C: Foundation to, to the Mirabal sister story. And Ivette, thank you for bringing that.
And I. But their sister Didi, who was the. The only one who. Who didn't die. And she was the example and the inspiration to her daughter. Like you were saying, I was.
She was the one who survived.
And she dedicated her life to preserving their legacy and ensuring their story of courage continue to inspire generations. So it's so nice that you brought this up today, because not many Latin women know about this.
[00:30:12] Speaker A: No. And there's a. There's a movie, by the way, with Salma Hayek and Marc Anthony.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:30:18] Speaker A: Butterfly. Something forgot. Guys, I'm sorry.
[00:30:21] Speaker C: I didn't know that.
[00:30:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I meant to get the right information, but it's a beautiful movie and it kind of shows you how it started. They were invited to a party, yada, yada, yada. Things happen.
Of course you do.
[00:30:38] Speaker B: Before. Before I even saw the movie. One of my favorite authors, Julia Alvarez, published the book in 1994. Julia Alvarez, who is a Dominican author, wrote the story with all the facts.
And in. In this, her book, the name of her book is in the Time of the Butterflies. And that is the name of the movie also in the Times of the Butterflies and in Spanish and El Tiempo de la Mariposas.
And I encourage people, if you don't know the history and you want to find out more information, either purchase the book or watch the movie. But of course, you know, when. When there's a movie, they cut out a lot or they edit a lot of the story.
The book has a lot of the facts. And that is one of my favorite books, and that is something that inspire me to learn more about these women. And also in 2018, when I went to Dominican Republic and went to my mother's town, my mother is from Tamboril, I found out that where they grew up is just 47 minutes away from my mother's hometown in Salcedo. And I had the privilege of visiting the museum. And I encourage people, if you ever have an opportunity to go to Dominican Republic, visit the museum, because it is amazing.
And that was the house where they grew up.
And you can learn so much about the rich history of. Of Dominican Republic back in the 1960s.
[00:32:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Can imagine the energy in that house. I could only imagine the energy because they were beautiful and they were so smart and their father was, you know, handsome and encouraging. They had a business, you know, they were people that were profitable, you know, and abundant and unfortunately, you know, and.
[00:32:31] Speaker B: They were educated and they were entrepreneurs, but at the same time, they. They fought for the rights for the poor people because they also wanted the poor people to learn to be better.
So not only were they a voice for education, but also for poverty.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: And.
Well, let me just share this part of it, because as an energy worker, this is. I am more of a feeling person. I have a feel person. So these people had a beautiful, beautiful farm. They had a beautiful farm, and it was taken away with them, from them because of the politics.
And now they had to kind of literally struggle and kind of bring in the family to. To restart their business. And then things just started falling apart because they spoke up for their rights.
I mean, when you. So it's crazy, but that's what happened. And then. But they set the example that even though they sacrifices. They sacrifice their lives, they set the example. It's necessary to speak up for your rights because then you set an example for the others to come behind you.
[00:33:38] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: If my mother didn't drill on me, I'm going to say a little bit in Spanish. She used to say, yo no tuveltunida que tutiene porque yo no sien estebais perutu sitienes opportunida coje la.
And take it and run with it. I'm here to support you. Even though she was sometimes, whatever she was a supporter of, figure out your opportunities, too. But again, that has to be embedded in kids. And she. And they, the Maribela Mariva had a good foundation, but because of their sac, because of their beliefs, they were sacrifices.
But it is, you know, but women are strong. We are stronger than you can possibly imagine.
Right, Vivian? Right.
[00:34:25] Speaker C: And we have this huge opportunity to, you know, to honor the individual accomplishments of women, to celebrate the collective force of women supporting each other and standing together.
You know, I think we should keep lifting each other up. And today and every day, not only once a year, that we remember, you know, March 8th as the International Women's Day, a lot of women before us, they lost their lives.
They lost everything so we could have what we have today.
So we have to continue to break down barriers, you know, for the generations of women, women who will follow in our steps. And, yes, I love that. I think, you know, like you were saying about teaching kids, and not only girls, you know, boys too boys.
We need their support.
And, you know, we don't. We don't want to be better than men.
We want to be better than ourselves. We want to be better all the time.
And this is not a competition with men. This is not a competition with other women.
This is an approach that blends a sense of celebration with a call to action emphasizing both the achievements and ongoing struggles women face.
Because we're here to encourage everyone to be part of the change, to be part of what we're doing. And, you know, we are all in the same boat, so we need to stick up together.
[00:36:25] Speaker B: Excellent point, Viviana. Thank you so much for bringing that to the light. That we are here all in the same boat and that we need to encourage each other and that we're not trying to be better than men. We are just, you know, want to let everybody know that we have a voice and our voices are important.
[00:36:49] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[00:36:50] Speaker A: But can I just say something too? With, with just this, this is just a generational thing with my mom else she used to say, you know, that's another thing that can be confusing.
You need the right guy that's going to support your dreams together. You can. You see what I'm saying? You need a good support system with a man or husband or a masculine energy, a partner. That's what you need. But you don't necessarily need to do it all by yourself because like you said, we, like, like you said earlier, we need the masculine support. We need men to manifest our dreams. We really do. Because it's harder when you're trying to do it all by yourself.
That was my mentality. Yolo. I say, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it because I don't need to, you know. No, when I, when my husband and I sat down, we saw this opportunity for the wellness center and he said, I'll support you. And I'm very happy he did, because my life has changed because of that. I'm meeting beautiful, wonderful people now because of it.
You know, I'm helping other people grow within this, this energy business. So I, I'm happy for this opportunity. So you're right. We need. Vivian, you said it. We need to teach both boys and girls to be better versions of themselves.
[00:38:08] Speaker B: Well, that's, that's God's intention. I mean, that's why when he created Adam, and that's why he said men cannot live alone and created the woman. Because we're supposed to help each other.
[00:38:20] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: It was set from the beginning of time.
[00:38:23] Speaker A: There we go. So the intention was already set. Now we just have to figure it out, how to make it right, how.
[00:38:29] Speaker B: To work it, and.
And for us to support each other.
[00:38:33] Speaker A: Absolutely. But that's where it starts. Women supporting each other. Because then there'll be better families, better community, better tribes, better everything if the women work together.
[00:38:43] Speaker B: Well, we're coming to the end of our podcast. I want to thank Viviana for joining us. Thank you very much for agreeing to be our guest today.
[00:38:53] Speaker A: Yeah. So I just want to leave with this note that we women have the power to. To do whatever it is that you want in life, whatever it is. Just set the dream, journal it up, sit down with yourself, meditate, take a deep breath in and go with your flow. You know, this is just the beginning of our conversations on how we want to bring people like Viana back and just have these conversations with women to make it better for ourselves.
