Can Reclaiming Your Roots Help to Propel Purpose? My Guest: Alejandra Amegin

Schmooze with Suze

I’m always talking about my start as an immigrant's kid.
Despite my lack of accent, or so I think, my birthplace in New York City and my American audacity to claim what’s mine- my heart beats in a different language sometimes.
And nuance matters. And so does me being the first in my family, to do some things, along with the importance of reaching back to pull the next person behind me up.

But what about culture that has historically divided us can we use to unite and inspire us?
And that’s what we’re going to tackle today...

Ever felt like you're hiding parts of yourself for fear of not fitting in? Join me as I navigate through the inspiring journey of my guest, Alejandra Amegin, who grappled with this inner struggle after migrating from Mexico. Diving headfirst into a new country, Alejandra hid her Mexican culture in her pursuit to blend in, which led to a journey of self-discovery where she reclaimed her Latina identity and heritage.
In this episode, we peel back the layers of Alejandra's transformation. She takes us through her personal evolution, breaking the barriers she built around her identity and reconnecting with her Mexican roots. Her journey offers a window into the intricate tapestry of the American Dream, reminding us of the power of culture and identity in forging our paths. This isn’t just Alejandra’s story - it’s an exploration of how we can find our purpose and redefine our self-concept.
But that’s not all. Alejandra used her experiences to create pioneering wellness programs for minority communities, tackling accessibility and affordability barriers through her initiative, Vive Yoga. So, tune in for an enlightening chat and a chance to reflect on your own journey.
