Celebrando La Mujer Latina--A March of Dimes Event

Post by CHC Member, Becca M.

Good communication is important because it allows people to express their feelings, thoughts, comments, and concerns allowing others to respond to these issues.  The lack of communication can cause problems as the information that is important for others to know is not expressed.  Communication between mothers and daughters was the focus of the March of Dimes “Celebrando la Mujer Latina” on Saturday November 19 in Oak Lawn, IL.  Two CHC members, Maggie and I, helped facilitate this discussion during break-out sessions during the event that about 300 women participated.  It was a very interesting day filled with key note speakers talking about effective communication and puberty, break-out discussions, a three course meal, and dancing.  It was a great celebration of Latina women and hopefully opened the doors to better communication in their families.
