Self-love Comes From Unexpected Places

Today's episode is a replay from my storytelling event I produce and host titled Change My Mind: a live storytelling experience. We get everyday people to tell true non-fiction stories in front of a live audience in NYC about an event that changed their minds for the better. It's another form of ethical and cultural wisdom from their lived experiences that creates meaningful connection, conversation, and education around issues we typically don't talk about. Today's storyteller is Esther Ofelia Acosta. She's a Fun- loving cubanita who runs her family's cuban restaurant by day and does stand up comedy by night. She enjoys bringing laughter to others from her experiences that many Latina women can relate to. Her story is about her struggles of finding her voice in a household where women were seen but not heard, and how she eventually found self-love and the confidence to pursue what she truly desired. You can find her on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube.
