What do you do when the price of staying quiet is too high? Do you assume the risk and say what needs to be said? Or do you soldier on and live to fight another day?

For Rose Aviles, the answer is all too clear.

In this episode, Alisa and Dr. Merary are joined by Rose, a Community Services Coordinator for Yonkers Public Library, who shares the incredible story of her journey to the top of a LITERAL mountain... amidst a global pandemic... while pregnant. Talk about owning your power.

“There’s no glory in climbing a mountain if all you want to do is to get to the top. It’s experiencing the climb itself – in all its moments of revelation, heartbreak, and fatigue – that has to be the goal.” – American Filmmaker, Karyn Kusama
