About Just Call Me Viv

Hi, I’m Viv, mom, storyteller, lawyer, therapist, sometimes blogger, and always a work-in-progress. Just Call Me Viv is where we get real about life, love, work, aging, and everything in between. This channel is for anyone navigating midlife, dating again, healing, rediscovering joy, or starting over (again). From perimenopause to confidence, heartbreak to reinvention, these are the conversations we don’t always get to have, but deeply need. Whether you’re folding laundry, sipping wine, or walking the dog, I hope this feels like sitting on my couch with a friend, no judgment, just truth, laughter, and reminders that you’re not stuck... you’re becoming

   Boricua Women Who Built a Community FromScratch

   They turned cafecito and conversation into a sold-out community — and they're doing it for us. In this episode of Just Call Me Viv, I sit down with Elizabeth Colon and Marisel Melendez, the co-founders of Boricua Talks, a speaker series celebrating Puerto Rican women and their stories. We talk about building community in the diaspora, what it really takes to start something from nothing, and what it means to finally have a space where you belong — no apologies, no explanations. If you've ever felt like you're not Puerto Rican enough, not Latina enough, or just not enough, this one is for you. Topics we cover: - How Boricua Talks started over coffee and grew into a sold-out movement - Building real friendship as an adult woman - What the diaspora is missing and how these two women are filling the gap - Entrepreneurship, grit, and getting out of your own way - Raising daughters who are proud of their culture Why community is the cheat code nobody talks about
