Sabias Visibility Thread 004: Week of May 18
Pass it on, sabia
Happy Monday, sabias.
We’re heading into the back half of May and the thread keeps getting richer. A big shoutout to the sabias who showed up last week with Notes that made us laugh, nod, and forward to a friend:
Latinas Out Loud, Graffiti & Grace, Nancy Marmolejo, and Hady Méndez.
If you have not visited their Notes yet, click on the links above and go love on them. The thread doesn’t expire and neither does the love.
Now, let’s keep the momentum going.
How it works
Pick what you want to share. A fresh Note inspired by this week’s optional prompt below, a Note you’ve already written that deserves more eyes on it, or a recent Substack post you want us to help elevate. En español o en inglés. One share per sabia per week, so make it count.
Drop your link in the comments with a quick intro. Paste the link to your Note or post, plus a sentence telling us what it’s about and why we should read it. If you’re new to Her Wisdom Era, introduce yourself and your Substack too. We want to meet you.
Come back during the week. Visit at least two other sabias, read what they wrote, and leave a real comment that shows her you were actually there. The thread stays open all week, so check in more than once. The women who post on Wednesday deserve the same love as the ones who post today.
Restack her words if they belong on your page too. That one click introduces her to your readers and is the most powerful thing you can do for another sabia on this platform.
This week’s optional prompt:
What is one non-negotiable you've added to your life in midlife that your younger self would have called selfish?
¿Cuál es un "no se negocia" que has añadido a tu vida en midlife que tu yo más joven habría llamado egoísta?
The things that have shaped us deserve to be passed on. Tell us what changed something for you.
We’re keeping the Sabias Visibility Thread open to everyone through May because it has been too much fun to gatekeep. Paid or free, you’re invited. If this is your first time joining us, here’s the full story of how the Sabias Visibility Thread works.
Quick FAQ
Do I have to use the prompt? Not at all. The prompt is optional. You can share any Note or Substack post you want more visibility on.
Can I share more than one thing? One share per sabia per week so every voice gets room to breathe. Save the rest for next Monday.
Do I have to tag or mention Her Wisdom Era? No. Just post to your own profile and drop the link here.
What if I write in Spanish, English, or Spanglish? All three are welcome.
How long should my Note be? However long feels honest. Two sentences or two hundred words. We’re not counting.
When does the thread close? Never. The magic happens in the first few days when we’re all showing up together, but you can drop in anytime this week.
What if I’m new to Substack Notes? Go to your profile, click “Write a Note,” share your response, then click on the three dots in the upper right corner to copy the link to paste here.
