El Salon Chronicles

Dimelo Linda!

In this episodes the girls go in on an unnamed con-artist/throwback clown/sanky panky that tries to play them and pretend that they need him in order to be successful.

After a successful run with The Vagina Monologues the ladies are back to business and they take on a meeting Saturday morning even though they're exhausted only to be led on by a bullshit artist. 

They catch on, devise a classy exit strategy and decide to use the experience as material for this episode. So sit back. Grab your cafecito, and get ready to be entertained by the ladies of El Salon Chronicles.

This week the ladies take a deep dive into intimacy, boundaries, and infidelity.

As usual the conversation is all over the place. The ladies discuss subjects from identity, to religion, to habichuela con dulce and this week's guest, Sabrina Paulino, keeps up! She is definitely comfortable at El Salon. Sipping wine at Zuly's house, the ladies get very candid about their opinions on cheating and their own experiences testing boundaries.

So grab your glass of wine and get ready to laugh with the ladies of El Salon Chronicles.

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.

Welcome to another episode of El Salon Chronicles. In this episode the ladies are joined by two very eligible bachelors Omar and Kevin.

This episode is a follow up to the 3rd episode Build-A-Man. How many of you ladies have said "There are no good men out there"? Well here the ladies have two amazing men. One is an ex prosecutor with his own practice and the other an ex con that's paid his dues and has his shit together. 

They describe what they are looking for in a woman, why they haven't been able to find a good one and their take on why women seem to be playing musical chairs when it comes to finding a good mate.

Have we become comfortable with being single? Are our expectations unrealistic? Have we subscribed to the fairy tale? or are we dating the predictable men in an endless loop of self fulfilling prophecy of unworthiness.

Tune in and join in this very entertaining conversation! Let us know your thoughts on this topic by DMing us via Instagram or emailing us at [email protected].

If you think you want to continue the conversation privately you can hit either one of our guests directly by sliding ass first into their DMs.

You can reach Omar @omaramo323 on IG and Kevin @syncere_soul on Instagram.

Now sit back, relax, grab your cafecito and get ready to be entertained by El Salon Chronicles.

Our indigenous ancestors recognized la luna’s power and held red tent ceremonies. Most women in “pre-modern” societies bled during a new moon; our bodies were synched with nature’s rhythms. Red tents were groups of women, on their periods, gathering in ceremony. They’d chant, dance, and go into deep meditation. In meditation, they’d ask for guidance on their personal lives and the collective. Red tents channeled the heightened intuition that accompanies the bleeding phase of our cycles. Our foremothers recognized our menstrual cycle’s connections to lunar cycles as magic. They understood that each phase of your cycle provides insight on how to move in life with more ease and less stress. Every month, your cycle takes you on an emotional ride from young maiden to wise crone. Each of the four phases (menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal) provides its own wisdom on how to move through life with ease. For example, the follicular stage, after bleeding, resonates with a young maiden; it’s during this time that we have the most energy. Hormonal activities lead to increased physical stamina and sharpened mental focus. It’s the best time to plan and create. The bleeding phase corresponds to a wise old sage. Heightened intuition helps us go inward and reflect on the previous cycle’s lessons. Slowing down and taking extra care of yourself, in whatever way you can, is best during your bleeding phase. But many of us don’t know that we carry this power within, so we suffer. We push ourselves when we’re led to rest. The disconnect from our body doesn’t allow us to recognize how certain foods we eat, or company we keep, affects our cycles. It is time to reclaim our blood and our bodies. Join the Brujas of Brooklyn, Mamichula Social Club, and El Salon Chronicles for this very special live recording of a Red Tent Event.
