Thousands Of Women Identify With This "Ordinary" Woman & Her Story

I had a business years ago that trained local videographers around the USA to do my kind of interviewing. We offered the service to family members interested in having one of my videographer/interviewers conduct an interview with a family member. We called it a legacy video. This woman was one of the videos we made. Unfortunately, the business didn't succeed and there were several reasons why. But I thought had lived a terrific life and was still living it at 60. The local cameraman in her area just sat down, set up a camera on a tripod, and told her to tell her story. So it wasn't really an interview. She was ready to speak out and proud of the life she had been living. Of getting out of her early life challenges. Of the support of the Mexican community. Of her fascination with Mexico and Spain. Of the men she was with, both the relationship successes and the failures. When I posted this video I was unprepared for how strong a reaction women would have who had watched it. Not that they live the same life that she did or want to do. But the honesty and - telling it like it is - style has helped many women to be more open and expressive in their own lives telling their own stories.
