Greetings, Comadres!
Many thanks to Comadre
Dora Maria Abreu and Credit Suisse for hosting us this month.
And thanks to Comadre Karen
Valentin and her publisher Hachette Books for the free copies of her novel,
THE MOTHER GOD MADE ME TO BE.
Gladys, Miriam and Maria are also happy to
announce that Nydia Marsella is joining them as a Comadres Facilitator. Together they will make the Comadres NYC Network
a better, richer community for Latinas.
Nydia began her professional career as an architect in
Venezuela. In New York City, she spent
eight years working for the nation's first public Hispanic television network
as a producer, writer, editor, and on-camera talent. Nydia has been nominated
