We are sure, being as Cool as you all are, there is much to be proud
of.We are humble here at Cool Moms
Cool Tips, so we are not going to talk much about ourselves.Instead we are going to tell you how proud we
are about being a part of an amazing community.
Beautiful South Florida is very
varied.
True it is mostly Hispanic, but we do have a little of everything.In taking a closer look at this vibrant
Latino community, we see how there are several descriptions of what being
Hispanic is, and it doesn’t always fall under the stereotypes we are accustomed
to.
Belonging to this corner of the planet, makes us proud.We are also honored at the chance to share
what an evolving definition of Hispanic may be.
First let’s talk about the word: ORGULLO.Translated as Pride.Orgullosa then would be a proud woman. Let’s
talk about this Orgullosa: a cool Hispanic woman making waves in a new world
while bringing to it her inner and outer beauty, her true spirit. Bravo! We applaud
this!
True, Latino culture is identified as a very machista one.One where the man is the ruler of the
universe.Well, women have a very
important place and role to carry out.Looking closely, you will see that a man is king of his castle, but a
woman is the ruling queen of her world.In reality, a woman commands her domain in every sense, including the
king of the castle.It is just that she
does it in a subtle and loving way that makes it go unnoticed.
Hispanics have an accent, true, but that just means that there is more
than one language spoken.Now, we wanted
to make this statement a little more real, touch upon real women’s lives and
not just numbers. So, we interviewed 25
random women at a mall. Statistically, be prepared to get surprised, 60% of the
latinas living in South Florida speak 3 or
more languages. Wow, we got a bigger
sample and doubled that, we even tripled it and the percentage went down, but
still impressive: 52%! From this same population, we found out that 80% of these ladies had
masters degrees (mostly in business and heath). 97% were moms and all had the same hectic
lives J
Definitively these are
findings to commemorate! To celebrate let’s join the new site, Orgullosa.com, a site that celebrates everything you
are, and everything that makes you, YOU! We loved about
Orgullosa.com is that it fits the women we know in this community: women who
don’t settle for walking the same path, but instead make a new one everyday! The
site addresses careers, families, community, beauty.In a nutshell, everything every woman is! Join the Orgullosa community, and like their Facebook page here Be in the company of amazing women doing
phenomenal things to contribute to our lives.Right now we are reading about Alondra de Parra, Musical Conductor.
So as you can see we are proud to be in great company, thrilled to relate
to these vivacious, strong, joyful and proud women.Honestly, (sorry hips) most of all happy that
we can enjoy the delicious Latin food! Any one up for croquetas, pastelitos or café con
leche?
