Episode 66 – Coffee N.5 – A Celebration of Culture and Heritage with Yvette Bodden

Today on the Coffee N.5 Podcast, we are excited to share our conversation with Yvette Bodden, Founder and Author of Awakened-Woman, a platform designed to inspire, empower and encourage women to become their best selves. Being a Dominican American journalist born and raised in New York, her platform has been a shining light that uplifts Hispanic women of different backgrounds and cultures. In this episode, she shares her journey from managing conflicting labels and cultures to the reality of embracing human experiences, discussing the differences in writing for an English-speaking audience vs. a Spanish-speaking audience and all of the nuances in between. 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Yvette shares her experiences as a second generation Dominican American and how that has impacted her drive to share other Hispanic women’s stories. 
• Finding the right balance between two languages in a way that captivates readers from different cultural backgrounds. 
• Yvette’s funny personal anecdotes about Spanish idioms and how to translate them.
• The importance of building a strong, united community where everyone can learn from each other. 
• Yvette’s formula to generate empathy within an audience through her storytelling.
