“Because testimonios are perceived to be sacred (Urrieta et al., 2015). Empowering individuals to construct and share their testimonios must be a tender process (Latina Feminist Group, 2001), that is, one based on support, love, and compassion, which must be demonstrated by those hoping to engage others in the testimonio process” (Latina Feminist Group, 2001).
