Defying Machismo: Gris Alves on Women's Empowerment and Safe Spaces
This is a podcast to acknowledge those that have gone before us, those that are able to now be aware and not be dumb, but be able to look these motherfuckers in the eye and say: I don't really think you need to call me that.
Ever felt the weight of societal expectations bearing down on you? In this episode of 'Tales of Recovery,' Gris Alves tackles the pervasive culture of machismo and its impact on women's lives. After a night out in Tijuana, Gris shares her firsthand experiences with the all-too-common sexist remarks and the ever-present dangers women face when walking alone.
She doesn't just stop at sharing her story; she delves into the broader theme of women's liberation and the critical role of supportive communities in fostering empowerment. Gris reflects on the revolutionary women who have paved the way for greater freedom and equality, urging us to honor their legacy by continuing to create safe spaces for all. She discusses how practices like yoga and breathwork have helped her self-regulate and find the courage to speak up against harassment.
These tools, she explains, can be transformative for anyone looking to reclaim their power and voice. In addition to sharing her personal journey, Gris announces an upcoming retreat featuring two influential women, aimed at furthering this mission of empowerment and self-discovery. By the end of the episode, you'll feel inspired to challenge societal norms and support the creation of safe, inclusive spaces for everyone.
