What an inspiration. I really enjoyed being able to hear her personal stories. It made the book come to life and her passion in her call to serve the latino population in Cininnati. I would love to volunteer for her helping with new mothers, health and academic support.
I was curious about how she was disowned 3 times... What happened that caused her family to accept her back, and then disown her again!?!
Culturally, I was interested in the Santeria. I was familiar with the concept and how the Catholic traditions were mixed with indigenous beliefs and rituals. I first learned about Santeria in New Orleans though, and I always associated it with French and Creole cultures. Anyone know anymore???
I am also very curious about her family disowning her several times. But this is can be hard not to be able to practice your religous believes freely. The amazing thing she survives through this and becomes a pastor, so inspiring.
