Dimelo Linda!

In this episode las mujeres del salon are joined by Claudia Mendoza of The Mamichula Social Club to discuss their upcoming collaboration. Along with a cast of dynamic women and directed by Zulaika Velasquez, the ladies are performing their adaptation of Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues.

Claudia explains the importance of this production and how the Mamichula's have teamed up with Latinas y Lideres to empower and inspire girls from under-resourced communities in the Dominican Republic, providing them the tools to become tomorrow's leaders. With all three shows completely sold out, the ladies are donating all proceeds to benefit the Latinas Y Lideres Empowerment Camp.

The ladies go on to discuss what lack of education, exposure, and resources can mean to a young girl in an impoverished community. Isolation, helplessness, silence, and shame are tactics used by abusers to keep control of their victims. A U.N report says that 50,000 women a year are killed by intimated partners or family members.

Latinas y Lideres, The Mamichula Social Club, Director Zulaika Velasquez, and The Ladies of El Salon Chronicles want to keep the conversation going. Femicide is real and it is happening in our communities. It can no longer be ignored.

This week on MYTH, we’re off to the African savannah for a lion hunt.  You’ll learn that just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean you’re wrong, that using children as bait is a fantastic idea, and that lions aren’t supposed to own cows.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, we’ll go under the sea to meet an ancient African mermaid who’s not nearly as friendly as Ariel.

Heather was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis young, then made it through nursing training, graduate school, dating, getting married, and having her first baby before her PSC symptoms started to really affect her quality of life. She speaks about how she and her husband approached having another child, planning for, then recovering from, a living donor transplant, and how roles and work have shifted in their family.

Emily has been battling serious illnesses, PSC, UC since she was 19, and liver cancer at 33. As a mother, she has done her best to create an optimistic life with as little fear for her young son as possible as she has survived a colectomy, cancer treatment and a liver transplant. She discusses what it was like to be in survival mode for most of her adult life, what it meant to be a “sick mom” and how her outlook since transplant is all about her zest for life and what might come next.

Natalie learned of her PSC diagnosis when her sons were very young. She had been pursuing the “perfect” stay-at-home-mom life and soon discovered that when mother is your central role, PSC will definitely affect how you parent. She shares how she has talked to her sons about PSC and how her family has grown in not only understanding her disease but becoming very active in the larger PSC community.

Serbrina and her husband survived a 10-year waitlist for her life saving transplant made necessary by the progression of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. While her feelings about motherhood at this stage in her life are complex, she holds possibility for that and all areas of her life. She discusses the shifting considerations, emotions, and frames of mind that PSC brought to her lived experience and how a successful transplant has transformed how she approaches time and living life.

Katrina’s medical journey began at 15 with her Ulcerative Colitis diagnosis, but as she found experts that provided much needed relief, she was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. She discusses her shift in outlook, her support system, her second pregnancy and what role PSC plays, or doesn’t, in her day to day life.

Jessica’s early and intense introduction to life saving procedures means many discussions about IVF, surrogacy, and adoption with her husband, family and friends. She listens to herself and her body and chooses a path, that while not easy, lives up to her goal of living life without regrets.

Kiersten knew the dangers of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis as a result of her father’s diagnosis. She faced her own diagnosis as a young adult and found that her PSC had a different progression. In the 3-year window that her doctor gave her, she had two pregnancies that included a lot of uncertainty, bed rest and ultimately, vibrant young children.
