00:00We received the president of the leading company in private security.
00:04She directs more than 2,500 employees and 14 offices throughout the country.
00:09She was the first woman in the Dominican Republic to be certified internationally as a Certified Protection Professional.
00:17She is also a co-founder of the House of the Conductor.
00:20She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
00:25She is also a co-founder of the House of the Conductor.
00:28She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and has continued to develop knowledge in business and security.
00:35Married to Mario Gamundi and mother of Daniela, Mario Armando and Rosanela.
00:41We invite you to know today the career of the businesswoman and president of the Chamber of Commerce and Production of Santo Domingo, Lucilo Elmon.
00:55I am so proud to be with you Lucil, my dear Lucil Elmon, now in a more intimate woman-to-woman interview.
01:15It is a pleasure for me to be here, Ingrid. What a joy to have this opportunity to share with you today.
01:21I consider you more than a friend, a cousin, for the relationship that unites us for a lifetime.
01:27And I have always admired you, I don't know if I have told you.
01:30I really feel super proud when they talk about you.
01:35Lucil, I consider you to be the model of a successful woman for many reasons that we will discover in this conversation.
01:43How do you define success? What is success for you?
01:46For me, success is having the opportunity to do those things that you like, that fill you with purpose.
01:55They say that one has to look for his Ikigai, which is a Japanese philosophy.
02:02I love it.
02:03The things that make you happy, but that can pay you for them.
02:10Those things that are good for you, for the world, and that also allow you to be paid for them is a wonder.
02:20So I feel that you say successful. I say that I am in a moment of Ikigai right now.
02:27I love it. I met that term now on a trip to Japan.
02:30And I love it because it is purpose. It is a life with purpose. I know you have it.
02:35At this moment, Lucil, do you feel like a fulfilled woman?
02:38I feel extremely fulfilled.
02:41I think that women, as we get older, we see life more safely.
02:51And when you have that opportunity to be able to do things and see the results, that reaffirms you.
03:03I think that women, after 40, not to say current age, is the best time.
03:10You have maturity, you have the opportunity to do things that you like.
03:16You already know what you like and you can achieve great things.
03:22Lucil, there are decisions that change our lives from one day to the next.
03:26What decision changed your life at some important moment?
03:32For me, I will tell you two important decisions.
03:36The first decision was when my brother died.
03:40You and I also have that sad coincidence.
03:45When my brother died in a car accident.
03:50I was not living in the country. I lived in Mexico at that time.
03:56And the decision was to go home and be with my parents.
04:01I did not consider life separate from them at that time.
04:06Because it was a time of a lot of family pain.
04:10And that completely changed my life trajectory.
04:14And I do not regret it at all.
04:16Because even though I was working in a multinational,
04:19in my first opportunity outside the United States, in Mexico,
04:26there is no way for you to be happy if you have a difficult family situation that calls you.
04:46I really could not conceive of being away from home and with my parents.
04:57But that in turn brought other things.
05:00It gave me the opportunity to be with them.
05:04And also, before the year, to meet my husband.
05:08That is another great decision in my life.
05:12To have chosen my husband Mario as a partner.
05:16We are accomplices.
05:19We work together.
05:22I want to take two things.
05:25First, as you say, we have in common to lose a loved brother.
05:29And that changes our lives.
05:31It changes your professional life.
05:34But emotionally, it breaks us.
05:38It is a difficult duel.
05:40Yes.
05:41Just like me.
05:42How did you overcome it?
05:44Look, I think it is not that you overcome the duel,
05:49but that you learn to live with it.
05:56Simply doing the things that...
06:03That role of taking care of the family, of our family,
06:08is no longer shared between two, but falls on my shoulders.
06:13But doing it with love.
06:16From love.
06:18And taking into account that you are doing it for yourself and also for him.
06:24That care of the family, of the family legacy,
06:29in the emotional part and also in the business part, in my case.
06:33You studied abroad and then you were already working abroad as well.
06:38What was your first job?
06:40My first job was...
06:43My first summer job was with an advertising agency
06:46because I studied communications and political sciences.
06:51And I worked with, at that time, with the people of Thompson IFE,
06:58as a passenger.
07:01And it was very nice because, at that time,
07:04Thompson IFE released the Cash product, the Cash card of Banco Popular.
07:09I worked with that project.
07:11We worked with the introduction of soap B to the country.
07:15That was my first job experience.
07:17I discovered that advertising is beautiful,
07:20but I preferred something a little more formal.
07:25And I have always been in the area...
07:28Not formal, but something more in the business area.
07:31I liked it more.
07:33Another thing I want to take from what you told me
07:35was that another transcendental decision was to choose your partner.
07:39I think, and I tell my girls who are going up,
07:42that it is not the same to have a business,
07:47to undertake or become what you want to be,
07:51in your best professional version, without an ideal partner.
07:55Or raising children is not the same.
07:58The choice has been worth it.
08:00How many years have you been together?
08:02We have been together for 29 years.
08:04Do you work together?
08:05We work together.
08:06That is possibly the biggest challenge, right?
08:08Working with a partner.
08:09I was going to ask you that.
08:11How have you handled it?
08:12Not everyone can work with their partner.
08:14Well, as we have handled it,
08:16which I don't know if it is the solution for everyone.
08:19I think everyone has to look for their balance and their formula.
08:23But we have an advantage that he is more financial.
08:28I am more strategic and I like human resources.
08:33Our business is a business that has a lot to do with people.
08:37Totally.
08:38And we balance ourselves at the level of knowledge.
08:43But we also handle,
08:46I mean, we don't look directly at the same area.
08:51Okay, okay.
08:52That helps.
08:53And then we consult.
08:55We consult and evaluate.
08:57I think the fundamental stone in the relationship of a couple that has not worked for us
09:03is mutual respect.
09:04You are one of my favorite couples.
09:06Lucille, you inherited a legacy.
09:09I think you are already 50 years Dominican Watchmen.
09:13That's right.
09:14We are at our 50th anniversary.
09:16And I can proudly say that it is the largest private security corporation in the country.
09:24We are going to take a break and we are going to return
09:27to see how a legacy is received.
09:30A young woman touched you alone.
09:33And not only does it continue with dignity,
09:36but it continues to grow.
09:38Lucille Belmont is a Dominican woman who inspires.
09:47More than anything, there was also a topic that there were no women in the security area.
09:52Because when you work in a family business,
09:55you learn at the table of the dining room, gentlemen.
09:58The issue of security is an issue that is almost always,
10:02and still today, dominated by men.
10:04But I have to say that women naturally have skills for security.
10:17How do you receive a legacy?
10:19Daughter of the engineer Armando Huelmon
10:21and of Mrs. Clara Jiménez Alfau.
10:24You return because of your brother's departure.
10:27And how does it touch you to enter the family business?
10:31Well, that's a very simple story.
10:34It's a very simple story.
10:36It's a very simple story.
10:38It's a very simple story.
10:40It's a very simple story.
10:42Well, that's a very nice story.
10:44Well, that's a very nice story.
10:47Because, as I said, I really came for a pain issue.
10:52But I had left my career in the security area.
10:57But I had left my career in the security area.
10:59And at that moment, my brother had prepared to be the successor of my father and mother.
11:07My brother had gone to study at Valley Forge Military Academy.
11:13And then he had done his studies at Drexel University in business.
11:19And he had just returned and started.
11:23So, for my part, I had studied at the University of Pennsylvania,
11:29but in the area of communication and political sciences.
11:33And I was working in a insurance company.
11:37But at an international level.
11:40Really, when it happened that I returned,
11:47I didn't have any perspective of work or what I was going to do.
11:53My college classmate wrote to me and said,
11:56Look, my mom has a factory of swimsuits that have become super fashionable
12:02because they have come out on the cover of the magazine Sports Illustrated.
12:06And, well, we are in a boom.
12:09And we need someone to help us distribute those swimsuits in the Dominican Republic
12:14because you have a lot of tourism and people wear swimsuits.
12:18And I am a 24-year-old young woman.
12:22Thank God, at that time, with a body very...
12:27Beautiful, beautiful.
12:28...very available to put on a bikini, I said, come on, let's do that.
12:31I didn't know that story.
12:32That story is great.
12:34Because I started selling swimsuits.
12:36Oh, I can't imagine.
12:38And then, to all the gift shops and all that.
12:40It was a very beautiful time and, above all, the samples.
12:44Of course.
12:45It was the War Mule.
12:47And that time was enjoyed a lot.
12:50I say that's why I got up, the blond guy who got me up,
12:52because I was in a bikini all the time.
12:54My love, Mario fell down.
12:57Oh, that's good.
12:58And then, I needed an office space,
13:03and they lent me an office space in Dominican Watchmen.
13:07And there, in parallel,
13:12well, oh, please help me with this ad thing,
13:17what are we going to do?
13:19Because, of course, I had the experience in communication.
13:22Of course.
13:23Can we maybe get a magazine for our clients?
13:26Yes, of course, we got the magazine.
13:28Well, the thing was,
13:30the other days they asked me,
13:32how did you get in?
13:33And I said, deceived.
13:34But I wasn't deceived.
13:35You fell on a hook.
13:36I wasn't really deceived.
13:38It's just that when you work in a family business,
13:41you learn at the dining table, gentlemen.
13:46They tell you the things that are happening,
13:50and you absorb it by osmosis.
13:53And, of course, I came there,
13:55I mean, I had a high-level university education,
13:59and I could perfectly deal with the issues
14:03that I could handle,
14:05because I had been working in communications,
14:07in marketing,
14:09and I was dealing from the business side first.
14:14Then I worked with my dad and my mom,
14:18but especially my dad,
14:20for 23 years by his side.
14:22So, you didn't go back to that office that they lent you.
14:25No.
14:26And I took on the role of director in the marketing area first.
14:34I worked all the promotional part of the company,
14:38everything that had to do with communications and business.
14:41And then I specialized in the security area
14:45with a professional security certification
14:48from ASIS International.
14:51And then I took on operational roles.
14:55But there was never a comfortable or uncomfortable conversation
14:59like, Lucille, your brother has left us out of time.
15:03We need you to learn on my side.
15:08There was no such clear conversation.
15:11No, you know why?
15:12Because when my brother died,
15:14my parents were still very young,
15:16and they were both at the head of the company.
15:19But yes, there was an interest for me to be in the company
15:24and be part of the family business.
15:27There was not necessarily a clear destination
15:31for me to run the company,
15:33because, more than anything,
15:35there was also the issue that there were no women in the security area.
15:38I have to say that maybe for me,
15:40one of the great satisfactions,
15:42right now you told me, what is your goal of success?
15:44One of the great satisfactions for me
15:47has been that my presence in the sector
15:50has changed things for many women who were in the sector
15:55who perhaps had no interest in the sector
15:57and did not dare to enter.
15:59And well, about ten years after I was in the company,
16:03a young girl came up to me and said,
16:07look, I want to thank you.
16:09And thank you for what?
16:10Well, because my dad saw that your dad gave you the opportunity
16:15and he is giving me the opportunity
16:18to be in the company and run the company too.
16:20Because definitely the issue of security
16:24is an issue that is almost always,
16:26and still today, dominated by men.
16:28It is dominated by men.
16:30It is dominated by men,
16:31but I have to say that women naturally
16:34have skills for security.
16:37And I also want to say this
16:39so that those who are interested in our sector
16:42as a profession,
16:44women are naturally analyzing risks.
16:50Security is no longer just standing there.
16:54It is not just a security of surveillance,
16:56it is a security of prevention.
17:00And I think that women have a special ability for prevention.
17:04And women also have a special ability
17:08to de-escalate conflicts.
17:11So those two things are what modern security is.
17:16Modern security is analyzing risks,
17:19determining what preventive measures
17:22can reduce those risks,
17:24and creating, in any conflict situation,
17:28a situation that can de-escalate that conflict
17:32so that a situation of violence is not generated.
17:35So I think that naturally we have skills for that.
17:39So women are...
17:41More than ready.
17:42More than ready and more than prepared
17:44to be part of the security sector.
17:46But at some point in the industry,
17:47and more than you,
17:48you have belonged to many corporations
17:51of the industry, of commerce,
17:53and of all the security companies
17:55that you can mention to me,
17:56some of the ones that have given you the most satisfaction,
17:58to preside over or lead or be part of.
18:01But you have never felt discrimination in the guild?
18:07Well, look, in the guild and in life, yes.
18:10Of course.
18:11It is not discrimination.
18:12Rather, it is like...
18:17It can be difficult for you.
18:20But I am not a woman who,
18:23if I am faced with an obstacle,
18:25I am not going to work with that.
18:28I mean, I consider that the obstacles are there.
18:33The obstacles are there.
18:34But you have to have the resilience to decide.
18:39If you want that goal, go for it.
18:42That is what I was going to say.
18:44You started little by little to integrate into the family business
18:47with some young parents
18:48who were at the head of Dominican Watchmen.
18:50What perhaps you did not expect
18:52is that at a certain moment,
18:53and from one moment to another,
18:55I do not know how it was exactly,
18:57your father was missing.
18:59Yes.
19:00It was a surprise.
19:02My father left the office one day
19:07because he did not feel well.
19:08And a month later, he was no longer with us.
19:12And that is where you then enter
19:15a little in the direction and receive the legacy.
19:17Let's take a break
19:18to then see how a legacy is received.
19:22A professional woman is still training
19:26to reach not only 50 years of success
19:29in Dominican Watchmen,
19:30but you also created new things,
19:32such as, speaking of modernity and digital security,
19:35Alarm 24.
19:37Lucille Huelmon,
19:38a woman on the edge,
19:39a Dominican woman who inspires.
19:47Your father is missing.
19:48He was a great man,
19:49founder and president for years of Dominican Watchmen.
19:53How do you assume the legacy?
19:55And there was no space
19:58for you to make a duel
20:01as you might have wanted.
20:04And the continuity of that company
20:06was first of all
20:08because there are 2,000 families
20:10that need to continue working.
20:26Lucille Huelmon,
20:27your father is missing.
20:28In just a few days,
20:29he was a great man,
20:30founder and president for years of Dominican Watchmen.
20:34How do you assume the legacy?
20:37How do you become part of the management?
20:40And how did you prepare
20:42to learn so much about security?
20:45Well, let's start with you, Lucille Huelmon.
20:48How did you prepare to learn so much about security?
20:53Well, let's start with you, Lucille Huelmon.
20:55How did you prepare to learn so much about security?
21:00When my father passed away,
21:02I was 23 years old at the company,
21:05and I had already been through the business department.
21:10The first department of marketing,
21:12then business,
21:13then operations,
21:14and now I am the executive vice president of the company.
21:18Okay.
21:19You were already on the edge.
21:20I was already on the edge.
21:21I was exactly on the edge, and I also had a complete knowledge of everything that was required to manage the company.
21:33The part of administration and finance, the part of operations, the part of business.
21:39I already had relations established with all the important clients of the company.
21:46And we had already developed the entire electronic security area, which you just mentioned.
21:52Alarm 24.
21:53Alarm 24 was already an important part of our business.
21:59The part of value transport also worked.
22:03Oh yes, of course.
22:04And an important investment had been made in everything that was modernizing, cash machines,
22:14the trucks, the GPS had started.
22:17We were at a time of a lot of integration of technology,
22:21and I am the one who does that part of introducing technology to our business scheme.
22:29So, already at that time, the future of security that came, technological,
22:36which came from the aspect of prevention, which I was already certified in everything that is risk analysis
22:44and management of that preventive part, using technological tools and also physical security,
22:54I was already ready.
22:56There was already a mature person in the position, with leadership within the company,
23:02leadership outside the company with our clients.
23:05And already at that time, were you passionate about what you did at Dominican Watchman?
23:09I love what I do.
23:10I just told you, I am at the IKIGUIDE moment, because what is so beautiful about what I do,
23:16is that I work and I integrate directly with what our clients do,
23:22and I analyze what they do, how to do it better, so that they have more security and can do their business better.
23:29So, the work I do is beautiful, it's beautiful.
23:33And that part of the passion of you being part, and today we are seeing how plastic is manufactured,
23:43and tomorrow we are doing mining, and the next day we are doing a service company or a bank.
23:51It's beautiful, it's all the time.
23:53A problem-solving and always looking for improvement, and I love that.
24:02And in parallel to receiving that legacy, at that moment when you are ready, there is also a loss, right?
24:09There is another duel to do.
24:11That part was hard, because my father died suddenly,
24:17and there was no space for you to make a duel as you might have wanted,
24:29but you had to take that, put it in here, and sit at my father's desk.
24:39Wow. So, that part was hard, but necessary, because when you...
24:52In my case, I was, from one day to the next, president of a company with more than 2,000 employees.
25:00And the continuity of that company was first, first of all, because there are 2,000 families who need to continue working,
25:13and producing, and bringing bread home.
25:16That is, 2,000 people who have to bring bread home to 2,000 families.
25:21So, there couldn't be a failure.
25:24And in that sense, I had to gather that strength and take control of the company and face it.
25:42And at that moment, it helped me a lot, and I want to highlight the value of when there are more women in spaces,
25:50like the one you have to live in, that you can say,
25:54well, at that time, I had two friends who had taken on company presidencies,
25:59Mercedes Ramos and Ligia Bonetti.
26:03They, in the previous year, had been appointed presidents of the companies where they were,
26:11and that example served me as a guide.
26:16So, if this interview that we are doing, that you say, is to give people an idea of how things happen,
26:26things don't happen overnight, but the day they happen to you, it's good to know that there are more like you there.
26:33And for me it was important to know, well, if they dared, I also dare, and let's go up.
26:41And, of course, the support of my family, fundamental, to say, well, let's do it.
26:50And thank God, we have, as you say, continued to add, and our clients trusted us,
27:00and here we are, turning 50 years old.
27:03And your brother and your father, from heaven, must be super proud.
27:07Proud, because you have achieved this, but at the same time, you have done something that is most admirable,
27:13and that is that you have built a family, while you have given the best to a legacy, so that it grows.
27:21But you have not neglected a marriage, some children who have grown up, a home with love, a good daughter, a good daughter-in-law.
27:29It's true.
27:31That balance, how is it achieved?
27:34I think the first thing is to value the family.
27:39I think, in my case, I value it a lot, because I lost a member of my family, very young,
27:47and for me the family has a tremendous weight.
27:51I mean, I value that space of love, of welcome, which is a family.
27:59And just as I always had it, thank God, in my family, with my parents, I generate that same space.
28:07My house is the house where my children's friends come, and the parties are at my house,
28:13because I feel a special happiness when I have the opportunity to welcome my friends,
28:24my children's friends, and that I can generate that space.
28:30And well, also in the office, the same, to open spaces and open fields.
28:36But there is one thing that sometimes people do not understand.
28:39How is an agenda coordinated?
28:41Because it is not that you receive a legacy and that's it.
28:44It is that I know, and the one who is close to you knows, that you work as few, your partner also,
28:50in a different area, but also pushing forward.
28:53How does the agenda of the director, president of a company,
28:59in addition to other corporations that you have accepted to preside over important in the industry and commerce,
29:06but at the same time, wife, mother, friend, daughter?
29:09Let's pause.
29:10How is the balance achieved if it is achieved?
29:13Lucille Huelmon, a Dominican woman who inspires.
29:16You have the problem, think too, and bring the solution.
29:25That is, not just stay in the problem.
29:28My father was an excellent mentor and he was of many advice.
29:33And, for example, things that my father always said was,
29:38the one who saves always has.
29:40President of the Chamber of Commerce and Production of Santo Domingo, in addition to everything.
29:44How do you feel about becoming the second woman who presides over this organization?
29:48And how do you feel you contribute to it?
29:51How does the agenda of such a powerful woman in such a large and important industry,
30:17along with that of mother, wife, friend, woman, human being?
30:23Well, the first thing is knowing that you are human and that nothing is going to be perfect.
30:28Excellent.
30:29You have to let go of perfection.
30:32The second thing is that there are things that have priority at the moment.
30:39That is, when you have a situation of a son of yours who got sick, that is the priority.
30:48Excellent.
30:49When you have a situation of a problem, as they may present themselves,
30:55an important security problem that is affecting your client, that is the priority.
31:01And do not demand to do 100 things in one day.
31:07You have to organize the agenda and pay attention to it every day.
31:12Now it's called mindfulness.
31:14But really, the attention to what is being experienced at the moment and in the present
31:19is fundamental for mental health and to be able to have that balance
31:25and to be able to choose at the precise moment what is important.
31:29I love it. I agree.
31:31Tell me, what has been the most valuable advice you have received from your father or your parents?
31:37Well, my father was an excellent mentor and he gave a lot of advice.
31:44For example, things that my father always said was,
31:49the one who saves always has.
31:51And he was a person who had that value of saving,
31:58of making sure that the expense was correct.
32:03That is a great life lesson.
32:06And the other advice is, if you have the problem, think too and bring the solution.
32:13That is, not only to stay in the problem, but to look for that solution to the problem.
32:19And well, as I told you, for me one of the most beautiful things that I learned from my parents
32:24or that I have learned from my parents in life,
32:26is that part of being loving and being warm and always welcoming.
32:32Your mother, what has been her great influence on you, from woman to woman?
32:37Well, my mother, for me, is my great mentor.
32:41My mother is a woman who is, first of all,
32:47a woman empowered by her own mother.
32:50That is, I think that getting to this point is because it is a chain of empowerment,
32:55from my grandmother to my mother and from my mother to me,
32:59with an important value of education.
33:02My mother always, that part of education,
33:06and that you had to study and be as good as possible as a student and train yourself,
33:12was a very important value of my mother.
33:15And well, human quality and spirituality,
33:19that spiritual and warm training comes from my mother.
33:24I love what you say about the chain of empowerment,
33:27because that is what we want to contribute to you, who is watching or listening to us right now.
33:31But right now, I feel that at some point,
33:34the word empowerment has been misused or handled erroneously,
33:40confusing it with, sometimes, a somewhat radical feminism.
33:43What is it for Lucille, who has lived it with her mother and yourself,
33:48the ideal empowerment of our women?
33:51For me, empowerment, first I want to say that feminism
33:56is nothing more than desiring that men and women have the same level of equality in rights,
34:04that is, equality in education.
34:06What does empowerment mean?
34:08That you are going to give your daughter the same level of education that you are going to give your son.
34:13That you are going to allow him to have the same opportunities,
34:18and give him that opportunity, which is the case that I had.
34:23I mean, I had the same level of education as my brother.
34:26I had some parents at home who respected each other,
34:30and listened to each other, and gave each other the opportunity to give their opinion.
34:39And well, I think that is the real empowerment,
34:43to have the opportunity to have the same conditions,
34:49the same opportunities, and that it is the same, whether it is a man or a woman, in the house.
34:55That's all.
34:56What values are you now passing on to your children?
35:01Well, I also have two daughters and a son.
35:04Everyone has to study, everyone has to graduate from college, everyone has the opportunity.
35:11Who will follow in your footsteps?
35:13We don't know that yet, but my eldest daughter is 27 years old,
35:18and she recently started working in a part of the company, not in the security part.
35:24So we already have someone interested.
35:29Daniela is already at home.
35:30Daniela is already at the office.
35:34And well, Mario Armando is now graduating from college,
35:37Dios Mediante this year,
35:40and Rosangela will graduate from school next year.
35:44So there we go, we are moving forward as a family.
35:47Presidenta de la Cámara de Comercio y Producción de Santo Domingo, además de todo.
35:52¿Cómo te sientes de convertirte en la segunda mujer que preside esa organización?
35:56¿Y de qué manera sientes que aportas con ella?
35:59Bueno, esa es una responsabilidad importante,
36:04pero es muy bonita oportunidad porque para mí lo importante de la Cámara
36:10es que la Cámara acompaña a las empresas en su ciclo de vida.
36:14Y hay un espacio de apoyar a las empresas emergentes,
36:19las pequeñas y medianas empresas,
36:21y sobre todo esas empresas que son de mujer,
36:24apoyarlas, darles oportunidades de que conecten con sus mercados,
36:30darles capacitación,
36:33y un poco eso ha sido el sello que le he querido imprimir a mi presidencia en la Cámara.
36:41Recientemente sacamos el programa Crece,
36:44que es un programa para pequeñas y medianas empresas y para emprendedores,
36:49de capacitación, de conexión, de acompañamiento.
36:52Es un programa precioso que corre todo el tiempo ya,
36:56pero que tiene cada dos años un evento grande de formación y de reuniones de negocio.
37:03Y sacamos también el directorio de Empresas Mujer,
37:06para visibilizar esas empresas de mujer
37:09y que compañías que quieran tener acciones afirmativas con empresas de mujer puedan hacerlo.
37:16Y está pasando algo muy bonito,
37:18que los bancos están usando esa base de datos
37:21para financiar las empresas de mujer y ayudarlas a crecer.
37:24Qué bello. Gracias, Lucille, por apoyar,
37:27no solamente a todo el que has podido,
37:31sino también de manera especial a nuestras mujeres
37:33para que se animen a seguir emprendiendo y tirar para adelante.
37:36No quisiera terminar esta conversación, pero necesito cerrar con broche de oro.
37:40¿Cómo quisiera Lucille ser recordada?
37:43¿Cuál quisiera que fuera tu legado?
37:46Bueno, qué pregunta. Ojalá que me falte mucho para que me recuerden nada más.
37:54No, pero sí me gustaría que me recordaran como una persona que fue coherente,
38:01que fue de trabajo y de acogida, como te dije, y amorosa.
38:09Me gustaría que me recordaran como una mujer amorosa.
38:12Qué linda.
38:13Y me gustaría ser recordada también por una persona que trajo más oportunidades a las personas
38:19para que pudieran generar un espacio y hacer sus sueños realidad.
38:23Gracias, Lucille Wellmon. Eres una dominicana que nos inspira
38:27y que muchas más se animen a desafiar los retos como mujeres y como seres humanos.
38:33Lucille Wellmon, un aplauso, cariño. Gracias.
