Armenian Women Empowerment

There are Armenian media outlets trying to sway your vote in the wrong direction. Trying to confuse you into thinking that one performance of a tried and true elected official is the reason why you should vote differently. That is what I call corrupt advertising. We should be very afraid of a racist and sexist in the office and worry more about convicted felons running the country than someone who is old, and didn't “perform well”.

Do the thing that light

Have you ever been scammed before? Happens to the best of us but no regrets, just moving forward and learning from the experience. I'll still advocate for my people and for social justice and for children. I haven't lost hope and I want everyone to know that it's not always what it seems to be. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackie14/message

Thank you for my life. I'm grateful for your tenacity, positivity and encouraging seeking spirit to live so that I could. My son and I are only here for the bravery of my badass empowered grandmother Aghavni. Buddhists believe that it all starts with the mother. This is a tribute to one such mother, the mother of my own mother, Aghavni. 109 years ago my grandparents on both sides were the victims of the genocide perpetrated by the young Turk government of 1915 in Türkiye. They are also the reason why I will never give up the fight to recognize and prevent genocides from ever happening again, even though they still do. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackie14/message

It's not all what it's cracked up to be when you're an Armenian living in the diaspora but it's never over. There's always hope to do better, be better and raise that recognition expectation higher than a kite! We deserve it as women, as Armenians. Thanks you aghavni for walking through it all for me to be here today. Never a day goes by when I don't appreciate and think about how I'm here because the Marashlian side stuck it out and cooked for the devil to stay alive, and how my moms side, my grandmother walked a million miles across the desert with a baby on her back for me to have an opportunity in this life. ❤️

Amoters are folks that find demeaning Armenian women to be a sport. Instead of being happy an Armenian woman in the world being elected to public office they blame and shame them for political agendas of their own creation. Armenians are so used to women being shamed for speaking up and speaking out in the world and they cannot see how it brings us all down. We've all been “groomed” to shame and blame strong women in general in the world and it shows. Calling an intelligent woman who's committed herself to doing the hard work “amot” is amot in and of itself. Stop this cycle of blame and shame and uplift and encourage instead. Keep your fear mongering politics out of it and keep and open mind to Armenian women public servants.

I can't help it! I'm a mrashsti through and through and recognize that accent like the back of my hand. Have you ever met a Turkish person that actually knew their roots? Not likely, and you'll hear my recent interaction with a Turkish man from Adana, the birth home of my father and his family. You can't make this stuff up of course, and I implore and empower you to always have the hard conversations and dialogues even if it feels a bit wrong to do so. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackie14/message

Word of the year examples and stories that will motivate you to choose yours and then a look at backhanded compliments. Backhanded compliments may be coming from a source of misunderstanding and poor comprehension skills. Sometimes this is also a lost in translation issue but check yourself that it isn't learned behavior passed down from generations past. Women have this tendency and especially Armenian women. Move forward, repair and recover and recognize the problem before it festers and gets passed down further on down the generation line. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackie14/message

We have a tendency to not listen to our gut instincts and think toward someone else being responsible for our own manifestations. When something wonderful has happened, chances are it is you yourself and you who has manifested that and made it happen. Listen to your self listen to what is going on around you and take action on that, embrace it and understand that you've made it happen!

The most hurtful part about being an Armenian is feeling the aggression against you from your own kind. At a time like this when we are suffering from the news of our people forcibly displaced and ethnically cleansed, the last thing we need is to get it from our own. We should be spending time really looking out for one another and being kind. If you feel in your gut something isn't right in the motherland, then take action, call it out and stay on top of your worth. You are worthy of respect and regard regardless of who you are and where you come from. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jackie14/message

August is kind of a rebirth of sorts for me, the end of a school vacation year and coming upon a new one. Taking on new challenges but we also need to stay in the empowered flow.

Emotionally and mentally abusive behavior produces emotionally and mentally ill individuals. The professor is in is about these things that make us feel less than our super powers we know we already have.

Happy pride month! Here's why; all Armenians should be included and all students should be openly educated about our lgbtq community. It's the right side of history and right thing to do to appreciate all humans. No one is turning your kids this way or that, only educating on the facts of life. Nothing more, nothing less. Kids deserve to know the truth. When they know truth from trusted adults like parents teachers and clergy, they will express and give us truth back.

No doubly and single mothers have much to do with each other.

Armenian women or any women have no time to lose on easing their girls and boys to respect themselves. We are all meant to go to space, wash dishes, develop vaccines and drive fast cars.

Encouragement goes a long way. If we aren't encouraging toward each other as Armenian women, then what are we? Just like everyone else in the world that demeans and bemoans the woman in general, don't be that!

My grandparents who survived the Armenian genocide were courageous to have gone through that chaos. So grateful to them for being here today and to be able to continue the courageous journey throughout my life. Never forget where you come from and what you're made of.

In this episode we unpack a lot of issues with regard to how women are encouraged, uplifted and celebrated in the Armenian community. The fact of the matter is we do more to endorse the same folks all the time and if you don't know or aren't related to them, you're out of luck! It's time to diversify. Also up for discussion today is how we need to put the Armenian women first in the April 24th protest for justice marches everywhere! We brought these important people who you promote so well repetitiously, so we can honor the mothers but putting them in the box seats too! After all it's well known that women and children were the ones who suffered on the deportation caravans and we should be honored as such. It's also “hye” time we do more to support our heritage daily and not merely on April 24. Here are some helpful tips on how to do just that.

A slap in the face has exploded all over the earth and all I could think about was how I could have used a will smith in my life once in a while. Armenian men have been less than valor full for women and the females in the family even a little less than that. There is certainly some honor to what will smith did for his wife Jada, and I'm turning Themis unpopular action on its ear to prove a point. It's Hollywood people, and it's their problem, so hear me out when I say we need to pay close attention to the protection of our women. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jackie14/message

Absolutely! Gabby Pettitos unfortunate story is a mere slice of what the emotional abuser is capable of doing. Victims of emotional abuse already have life long irreversible affects to contend with but homicide terminates all chances of recovery. Do Armenians participate in this gaslighting, disparaging and otherwise abusive banter toward women? Sadly yes, and we need to call this out and check ourselves and how we treat each-other for our ultimate healthful survival.
