In it Mother’s Day, I invite you to know the incredible stories of Guadalupe Rodríguezthe mother of Jennifer López and of Mónica Braithwaitethe mother of Rihanna.
Guadalupe Rodríguez’s trip
This is the story of a woman who does not deny her origins and who closely follows the life of the neighborhood where much of her life passed. Guadalupe Rodríguez He was born in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico, in a family of the most humble. As soon as he fulfilled the age He emigrated to the United States in search of a better life and settled in the dangerous Bronxone of the most problematic neighborhoods in New York.
There, he met David Lópezwith whom he married at 20 and with whom only 5 years later he already shared three wonderful daughters. The median was born in 1969 and called her Jennifer. Unfortunately, their work did not allow them to share quality time with them: Guadalupe combined their teacher’s job with the Tápers saleswoman at home and David spent the entire nights working as a computer technician.
Jennifer López He has always recognized being very close to Guadalupe, although they had a strong encounter when he told him that he wanted to leave the studies to focus on the entertainment world. In an interview he acknowledged that “I didn’t want to go to university, I wanted to dedicate myself to full time dance. So She and I took a break“. Although he was young, the clash caused them to distance themselves for a while: “I started sleeping in the study of the dance school. I had no home”. Luckily, soon, they limited their roughness and resumed their relationship the point where they parked her. Jennifer sees her mother as an example of resilience and love and do not miss the occasion to share that feeling in their social networks.
The history of overcoming Monica Braithwaite
Rihanna He was born in a middle-low class neighborhood of Saint Michelle, Barbados, in 1988. Unfortunately, from the beginning he lived in a conflicting family environment where his mother always fought to get her out of there. She, Monica Braithwaiteshe was a accountant who retired to become a housewife and thus take care of her daughter full time. At that time, she did not know that her husband was going to make her life impossible and that the problems would not stop appearing.
The atmosphere was so bad that, with 8 years, Rihanna suffered terrible headaches. So much so that even doctors came to perform several tomographs because they thought he could have a tumor. The pains disappeared when their father disappeared from his lifeAlthough he acknowledges that he remembers with bittersweet taste like he was the one who taught him to swim or bike.
Monica Braithwaite with her daughter Rihanna
Since then, Monica had to work endless days to get her family ahead and you could hardly see her daughter. It was Rihanna himself who was in charge of his younger brother Rajad, who even came to think that she was her mother. Monica’s sacrifices forged the personality of her daughter, who on more than one occasion becomes praise towards her considering her one of the strongest women he has met.
The family situation did not allow him to go to singing classes, but despite that he kept singing. He noticed the melodies of the voices of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Shania Twain Before presenting himself to the audition that changed his life. That way of overcoming the difficulties, without a doubt, has helped him become the star that we all know today … and it is thanks to his mother’s reflection.
