After Decades of Accepting Taboos, These Latinas Get to Know Their Own Bodies

Excerpt...Back in the small community room in Enlace Chicago, the group of women continues chatting about how menopause can take a toll on their intimate relationships. And then there’s a celebrity twist. "El ex de Shakira qué dijo? Que estaba con la muchacha, con Clara Chia, es que con ella tengo sexo diario… que dio a entender? Que con Shakira no, no? Shakira es más grande. A lo mejor Shakira estaba en la menopausia. ("What did Shakira's ex say? He was with the other woman, Clara Chia, because he had sex with her everyday… What did he mean with that? That with Shakira he didn’t, no? Shakira is older, maybe she was going through menopause.")100LatinaBirthdays.com100 Latina Birthdays is an original production of LWC Studios.
