Congratulations to the following Comadres on their accomplishments!
Andrea

-the most important publishing gathering in Ibero-America. She participated in various
panels and presentations, and presented her book #ImagiNATIONSartAsSolidarity.
Dr. Charley Ferrer (FL) – won not
one, not two, but three awards from the Veterans Administration Creative

Cancer Diaries, which won a Regional Creative Writing award; and the third
was for a video production of a scene from her play.
Mira Ginsburg (TX) – designed
and built her home in Austin, Casa Mauro.
It’s been an ongoing project for the past six years. It was a vacant lot and looked like a jungle sitting
on a slow rolling hill. They finally received
their Certificate of Occupancy and moved in as of June 2019. During final phase
of construction, Mira cared for her husband during his battle with cancer and
then her brother. Luckily, her men are both cancer free now – a MAJOR accomplishment,
Praise God. She would love to host the
Austin Comadres in the new year. AND she
is proud to say that her son just graduated from University of Texas!
