Workbook
For Colombian (American) Women
A Workbook for the Women Who Carried the Family Across the Distance and Are Still Standing
You carried your family across the distance. You can carry yourself now.
For the Colombian American woman carrying migration, marianismo, and the weight of providing for a family across distance — who is ready to stop disappearing into sacrifice and start building a life that includes her.
The Name It First Experience
You came alone or left children with your mother to create opportunity. You work jobs you are overqualified for. Your family depends on your sacrifice. Your mother taught you that real love means giving everything. The Colombian American Women's Charter addresses the real work: grieving what was lost, naming the marianismo that demands self-erasure, rebuilding professional and personal identity. The output is not a list of coping strategies. It is a signed document naming who you are when you stop disappearing.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What is the name of the thing you came here to carry — the survival, the provision, the hope for the people behind you — and when did you last put it down, even briefly?
- What have you given up since you crossed the distance — professionally, personally, quietly — and what story did you tell yourself to make that trade feel acceptable?
- How do you build a life for yourself when you have been trained to carry everyone else's survival?
