While on my trip in Puerto Rico, I met some amazing women. I am so inspired by the women, by thier confidence, thier passion, thier unaplogetic beauty, their energy, thier perserverance – the list goes on. I felt so connected there – I saw so much of myself there – so much of myself in the stories of women. Whereever I went I saw the power of women – the love and the openess. The excellence. I wanted to share that and the stories of the women I met with the world.

Sharing the stories of the women everywhere connects us in so many ways. It allows us to find the thread of commonality that connects us. The interviews you will find below have that same thread. Some of the stories below show culture and roots, trailblazing, overcoming barriers, and most of all – the encouraging strength and power of the women and thier stories.

Below you will find shot clips of the interviews. You can find the full interviews on Youtube – the link is below each video.
