It was during my first experience of expatriation, to Seville, that I most clearly became aware of the women, then of the feminine. I was able to notice that despite a certain evolution in society, in a general way, women could still have difficulties in fully asserting themselves. A lack of self-confidence, difficulty in saying no or establishing boundaries, being overwhelmed by certain emotions, not being able to put themselves first (ahead of children, a husband, work …) nor taking care of themselves, playing a role, not daring to shine … so many problems that that I could identify with.

In spite of this observation, I can see a paradigm shift: a deep desire that women today have to reclaim their identity as  a woman (and not just mother or wife), to be able to contribute to the evolution of our world in a positive manner, to develop professionally as well as personally, to connect with other women without judgement or competition, and to accept themselves as whole, complete.
