They Groped the President. They Groped Me. Now We Do Something About it
from Latina Mic Drop™ The Human-First Leadership Podcast
They Groped the President. They Groped Me. Now We Do Something About itThis is about power. Real power. The kind that comes from breaking silence.When Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's FIRST woman president, got groped on camera, and when Fatima Bosch got called a "dummy" and kicked out for speaking up, I knew it was time to tell my story.Because it happened to me too. Three times. In second grade. Going up my apartment stairs. At the copy machine at work. And I never told anyone...until now.This episode isn't just about what happened to us. It's about what we DO with it. It's about how Sheinbaum pressed charges because "if they do this to the president, what will happen to all the young women in our country?" It's about how Bosch didn't quit; She went on to WIN Miss Universe.And it's about how every woman who's been violated, dismissed, disrespected, or silenced has a choice: stay quiet or reclaim your fucking power.Here's what I learned:Why we don't report (the shame, the confusion, the fear no one will believe us)How silence keeps us stuck and speaking up sets us freeWhy our community needs to STOP pretending this doesn't happenHow the biggest growth comes right after our biggest challengesWhat it means to show up as a woman in leadership when the world wants you smallIf you've been inappropriately touched and stayed quiet, your voice matters. If you've been undermined in the workplace, your power is real. If you carry baggage you've never dealt with, it's time to put it down.This is women's empowerment in its rawest form. Not the Instagram quote kind. The "I'm breaking my silence and taking my life back" kind.We're done being quiet. We're done playing small. We're done letting them get away with it.In This Episode:My first public account of being sexually assaulted three times and why I never toldWhat Claudia Sheinbaum and Fatima Bosch teach us about power and resilienceHow workplace microaggressions and disrespect keep women from risingWhy speaking up, even when it's terrifying, is the ultimate act of powerHow to turn your pain into purpose and your silence into strengthThis is Latina Mic Drop.
