After navigating the turbulent waters of domestic violence, I found hope and resilience on the other side. My journey is a testament to the strength within us all, and I'm honored to share it with you this Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Joining me is Melissa Prentice from Bay Area Turning Point, whose journey from college graduate to a fervent advocate for survivors inspires. Together, we explore the transformative impact of outreach, education, and prevention in the ongoing fight against domestic violence.

We shine a light on the crucial support provided by 24-hour residential facilities, emphasizing their role in empowering survivors through essential services like counseling and safety planning. Melissa and I discuss the often-overlooked issue of economic abuse, sharing strategies to recognize and support those entangled in such situations. By fostering empathy and understanding, we can offer more than just resources—we can restore hope and confidence to those who need it most.

Explore how you can make a difference in your community, whether through volunteering, donating, or participating in events like the Clothesline Project and Savannah Memorial 5K. Learn about my book, "MAMI on a Mission: A Guide Towards Healing, Self-Discovery, and Walking in Confidence," designed to accompany you on your path to empowerment.

What if the vibrant stories of Latina women could inspire and empower us all to embrace our unique cultural identities? This episode of MAMI on a Mission celebrates monumental milestones, such as Mexico electing its first female president and Celia Cruz's iconic image gracing a U.S. quarter. Join me, Mariana, as we honor these trailblazers while diving into the critical work of organizations like Latinas Acting Up, committed to elevating Latina voices in political spheres. We'll also explore the depth of cultural traditions with personal stories about Dia de los Muertos, enhancing cultural understanding and inviting our local listeners to celebrate heritage at the LULAC Dia de los Muertos event in Galveston.

Navigating the complexities of teenage life, this episode shares a heartfelt story about my daughter's spiritual journey amidst the challenges of bullying. Her path to faith and baptism during these trying times highlights the profound role of community and unwavering support. Reflecting on the trials faced by families, we draw parallels to the story of Job, emphasizing themes of redemption and divine purpose. Through MAMI on a Mission, we aim to inspire Latina women to discover healing and purpose through faith, affirming that even in adversity, there's a divine plan for each one of us. Join me on this journey of empowerment and cultural celebration, and let's uplift each other in our quest for purpose and healing.

What does it take to truly break the cycle of domestic violence? Join me, Mariana, as I share my deeply personal journey and discuss the critical need to raise awareness during Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Hispanic Heritage Month. This episode of the MAMI on a Mission podcast marks a special milestone—two years of inspiring and empowering Latina women and women from all backgrounds to reach their goals. You'll hear my own survival story and learn how God's love and strength guided me towards healing. We tackle the cultural stigmas that often keep victims silent and emphasize the necessity of speaking out and supporting one another in the fight against domestic violence.

In this conversation, we delve into the pervasive issue of domestic violence and its significant impact on women of color, specifically Latina and Black women. We explore the alarming statistics and the various barriers—cultural, legal, and emotional—that prevent victims from seeking help. Through raw storytelling, we highlight the importance of recognizing non-physical signs of abuse and the lasting effects it can have on one's mental and physical health. We call for collective responsibility to educate, support, and create safe spaces for survivors. Tune in to hear heartfelt prayers for strength and actionable steps to build a future where every woman feels safe, loved, and free. Join us for more powerful stories and expert insights in upcoming episodes.
