Tejedoras de Cambios – Interview with Patricia Basave from Skovi on Vimeo.
Patricia Basave is the founder of Tejedoras de Cambios (Weavers of Change), a non-profit organization based in Monterrey, Mexico that helps abused women heal their lives through the process of narrative identity.
The project originated in March 2005 when Patricia created the concept of Tejedoras de Historias (Weavers of Stories). She worked with a group of women who were very interested in working on their own personal development.
By writing their autobiographies, these women uncovered their beliefs and identities. Through that, they started to reorganize and find new positive meaning in their own lives.
Patricia explains that during the sessions there were tears and laughter, but always respect and empathy. The sisterhood they created helps them gain confidence to confront and heal their past wounds.
Session topics include feminism, sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, and forgiveness.
The main objective is to enrich and empower women to improve their self-esteem, to overcome oppression and victimization, to become their own best resource, to feel confident, and to find a true and positive meaning in life.
It was a pleasure interviewing Patricia and she deserves our admiration! All the efforts she has devoted to improving the lives of many women in Mexico make her a true Entrepreneur Goddess. Thanks again, Patricia, for all the wonderful work you do!
