Rebuilding After Immigration: Yohara Caraballo's Story

The title stays behind. The network too. The family too. Amiga, if you have ever rebuilt a life in a country that did not recognize your work, this conversation is for you. Yohara Caraballo is a Dominican born attorney, author, and screenwriter. Before immigrating she spent close to 10 years in government and public service in the Dominican Republic and served as a delegate and attorney on the legal committee of the International Civil Aviation Organization. She also trained as a Cessna 172 pilot. Today she is the author of When Hope Becomes Pain and a practical guide to coparenting with a high conflict parent, and she has adapted her book into a 106 page screenplay. She tells Claudia Macías what she wishes someone had told her about postpartum depression, how she answers hard messages from a coparent, and the one small step she recommends this week. You leave with a way to answer hard messages, a checklist for court, and a first page to write.
