July 23rd, 2009 · 33 Comments · Culture, La Familia
I’m proud of my 21 year old sister. I really am.
This past weekend, she was confronted with a situation where she could have backed down and lied to family members to avoid an argument. Instead, she chose to stick up for what she feels and knows is right.
As I told you before, many Dominican women [...]

I was 8 years old when this occurred. Didn’t understand what was going on, but I knew it wasn’t the norm.

I’m working a job right now as a Lifestyle/Operations Manager at a great company. My job consists of coordinating the lives of corporate executives and athletes, not just on Wall Street, but around the country.
If that means ‘on the pitch’ tickets to [...]
