The Brave In Her

Hey girl, thank you so much for being here for today’s episode. In today’s episode, Viviana talks to us about her experience with cultural identity and the struggles that come with it. Her parents were born and raised in Mexico and moved to Texas where Viviana was born. At the age of 9 years old, Viviana and her family moved to Nebraska due to her parents’ missionary work. Throughout the years Viviana has faced criticism for wanting to play sports and not speaking Spanish at school. Viviana was questioned about her identity as a Latina all her young adult life. Now, she is the founder of “The Jefa Life”, a blog that she created to inspire Latinas to take control of their careers. I hope you enjoy our conversation! *** Quotes *** “Look within yourself and be okay with your own identity” – Viviana Maldonado “The ones that are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do.” – Steve Jobs “Being comfortable with not being comfortable” – Viviana Maldonado *** How to find Viviana *** Instagram: @thejefalife Blog: https://thejefalife.com/ Are you following me on Instagram yet????
