In my own definition a Latina Still Standing is someone who is resilient. She is a woman who stands strong despite having faced traumatic life-changing events. She is an overcomer and exudes beauty through her strength. She is beautiful from the inside out and she is a Latina who refuses to quit. Resilience is the ability to work with adversity in such a way that one comes through it unharmed or even better for the experience. It means facing life’s difficulties with courage and patience – refusing to give up. It is the quality of character that allows a person or group of people to rebound from misfortune, hardships and traumas. I am resilient. I am a Latina Still Standing.
