TRAVEL SERIES | DOMINCAN REPUBLIC
Hello Fashionistas!
So I am currently in the Dominican Republic. For those who don't
know, my parents are from the Dominican Republic, and my brother and I had the
opportunity to live here for 6 years, the best 6 years of our lives! Ever since
we moved back to NYC, we make sure we travel as a family every summer. Our
house here is intact like we never left! So when we visit, it feels like we
are home away from home. However, while living here we never made the time to
fully explore our country which happens to a lot of people that take for
granted the country they live in.
Now we make sure we visit a new part of the country in every
trip.
First up, we visited the providence Tenares, which is known as the town of the Mirabal sisters, "Las Hermanas Mirabal." The Mirabal sisters were known for their open opposition to the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, the president at the time. After the assassination of three of the four sisters, the Mirabal sisters turned into symbols of feminist resistance.

I grew up hearing about these heroic women but never had the
chance to visit their hometown until now. The house they grew up in is still
intact and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic!
