    A Tale of Courage: Suyen's 606 Days in Solitary Confinement for Democracy

    A Tale of Courage: Suyen's 606 Days in Solitary Confinement for Democracy

    Back in 2006, Suyen Barahona Cuan joined the ranks of Unión Democrática Renovadora, known today as UNAMOS. This Nicaraguan progressive opposition party was on a mission - to foster democracy, progress, opportunities, and justice amidst an oppressive dictatorship.
    Suyen stood stalwart in her commitment to human rights, democracy, and justice. This dedication led her to an integral role in the Women's Network within her party. But she didn't stop there.
    In 2017, her peers recognized her unwavering commitment and elected her as the President of UNAMOS. And she's been leading with resilience and fortitude, all while navigating the turbulent waters of a harsh dictatorship.
    Suyen is no stranger to the daunting obstacles women encounter in the political arena. Twice, she has been the target of unjustified imprisonment - a victim of persecution. The most recent incarceration saw her locked up in solitary confinement for a staggering 606 days. She was arrested at gun point in front of her 3-year old son.
    Undeterred by the obstacles in her path, she tenaciously pioneers the development of vital platforms for women. Her mission? To empower women to seize political prowess, unlock fresh avenues in political arenas, and foster gender balance. All in the pursuit of nurturing governments that are transparent, accountable, and truly representative of their constituents.

    Join a dialogue that will inspire and motivate. Feel her unyielding dedication, unwavering commitment, and heartfelt passion.

    Your Sensuality is Your Super Power

    Your Sensuality is Your Super Power

    The societal perception of female sexuality as either passive and uninteresting or as a force to be feared and controlled creates a restrictive and limiting environment for many modern women. This dichotomy fails to acknowledge the complexity and diversity of female sexuality, leaving women feeling trapped between two extreme expectations.
    It is important for women in executive positions to feel empowered to embrace their sensuality while at work, as it is a part of their identity. By finding ways to express sensuality through confidence, style, and personal presentation, women can demonstrate that being both sensual and successful in the workplace is possible.
    Cordelia Gaffer is a unique individual who identifies as the Ultimate Joy Goddess, focusing on empowering women and helping them embrace a sense of deep, fulfilling pleasure throughout their lives. She sees herself as a soul medicine woman, providing guidance and support to women who desire a constant state of soft sexual pleasure.
