Patricia Veliz Macal along with her daughter, Carla Osorio Veliz, and her mother, Amanda Macal, have written a book Los Hilos Que Tejen which has a collection of 22 stories of how immigration has affected women coming from south of the U.S. border. The women in the book tell their life stories of how they migrated, struggled in the U.S., and contributed to society. Participants will have the opportunity to share their personal story as a tool to heal and build their self esteem. This will be a bilingual workshop.
