Transcript

Ladies, I want you to always love yourselves.

Place your hand over your heart.

Then, repeat after me if you see yourself in these affirmations.

I am a woman.

A mother. A daughter. 

I shine with the confidence and pride of the generations before me 
to illuminate the generations after me.

I am Latina.

My culture is my power.

It lifts me up and makes me whole.

I am free.

I choose my own path.

My happiness is necessary. 

It connects me to myself and my community.

I am powerful.

My mind dreams the impossible.

My body carries me through the storm.

My soul transcends language.

I am perfectly imperfect.

From my voice, to my smile, to every inch of my being.

No one else on this earth is like me.

Who I am is my strength.

Hermanas, thank you for doing these affirmations with me. 

And please never forget who you are. 

Keep this energy with you and wear it wherever you go. 

Especially, when the world tries to tear you down.

Remember you’re that woman.

And I. See. You.
