FORT WORTH, TX — 27 de agosto de 2024 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — La Dra. Elayna Fernández, fundadora de Positive MOM®, fue una de las oradoras principales en la Cumbre Empowering Women and Girls to Thrive en las Naciones Unidas.

Este evento transformador tuvo lugar el miércoles 31 de julio en la Plaza de las Naciones Unidas en la ciudad de Nueva York y se alinea con el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible n.° 5: "lograr la igualdad de género y empoderar a todas las mujeres y niñas".

Fernández fue una de las 14 oradoras que participaron en el evento. El evento reunió intencionalmente a mujeres de diferentes ámbitos de la vida, que representan diversos orígenes, etnias, edades y habilidades, con el propósito común de ofrecer soluciones a los problemas globales que enfrentan las mujeres y las niñas. También contó con la participación de Ben Dotsei Malor, editor jefe de Noticias de las Naciones Unidas, un invitado de honor que compartió su conmovedora historia y su poderoso mensaje de empoderamiento, inspirado en sus humildes comienzos, al haber sido criado por una madre viuda y apoyado por sus cuatro hermanas mayores.

Como narradora galardonada, estratega de historias y creadora del sistema S.T.O.R.Y. para la narración transformacional, la Dra. Elayna Fernández ayuda a líderes centrados en el impacto a crear, contar y usar sus historias dolorosas para romper ciclos, encontrar la paz y sentirse completos. Recientemente fue nombrada Mujer de Influencia y una de las 125 Líderes de Mayor Impacto a nivel mundial por la revista SUCCESS.

Autoproclamada estudiante del dolor, es una sobreviviente de traumas múltiples a quien le apasiona prevenir y amortiguar las experiencias adversas en la niñez (ACEs).

Su blog, thePositiveMOM.com, inspira a millones de mamás en 168 países y su trabajo ha aparecido en TEDx, FORBES, WSJ, SUCCESS Magazine, Inc., SXSW, Authority Magazine, NBC, ABC, CBS, Scary Mommy, Yahoo! CNN, Real Leaders, FOX, The Huffington Post, Univision, Telemundo, LATINA, Good Morning America, BRAINZ Magazine y un sinnúmero de otros medios y publicaciones nacionales e internacionales. La Dra. Elayna es escritora contribuyente a la revista Entrepreneur.

“Mi charla fue diseñada para ayudar a personas que han luchado o están luchando con pensamientos suicidas”, dijo Fernández.

“El suicidio es un problema de todos y todos podemos participar en los esfuerzos de prevención, aprendiendo a convertirnos en una persona SEGURA para quienes nos rodean y sufren en silencio”, continuó.

Su charla, “Prevención del suicidio: cómo ser una persona SEGURA y SALVAR vidas”, fue elaborada utilizando el sistema S.T.O.R.Y. para la narración transformacional que ella creó. La Dra. Elayna se desempeñó como entrenadora de oradores y estratega de narración de historias para cada oradora en la cumbre, guiándolas para que se enfocaran en la transformación que deseaban inspirar y crear en la audiencia.

“El sistema S.T.O.R.Y. es una técnica inspirada que he estado usando durante casi dos décadas en mi propia narración de historias y en mis programas de coaching de oradores y autores, y que enseño en conferencias, corporaciones y organizaciones que quieren marcar una diferencia y crear un cambio significativo”, compartió.

Los asistentes de Panamá, Nigeria, Ghana, Inglaterra, Canadá y de todo Estados Unidos se reunieron en esta cumbre empoderadora y comentaron sobre el impacto duradero que dejó en ellos la charla de la Dra. Fernández:

“Fui hospitalizada una vez debido a ideación suicida y comportamiento dañino hace 17 años y estoy profundamente involucrada en el mensaje que transmitió la Dra. Fernández hoy. Palabras muy poderosas”.

“El discurso de la Dra. Elayna fue sobre un tema difícil que enfrentan tantos miembros de la sociedad. Su experiencia personal fue compartida con honestidad vulnerable”.

“Elayna ofrece consejos poderosos para lidiar con quienes contemplan el suicidio. ¡Poderoso!”

“¡GUAU! Estoy agradecida con la Dra. Elayna por ayudar a las personas a aprender cómo apoyar a las personas que están luchando. Me encanta que haya compartido pautas simples para desestigmatizar el suicidio. ¡¡¡Palabras sabias!!!”

“La charla de la Dra. Fernández me hizo sentir mucha tristeza y también mucha esperanza. Tengo varios amigos y familiares que luchan con pensamientos suicidas y su charla me ayudó a ver que hay formas en las que puedo ayudarlos sin causarles más dolor, lo cual me daba miedo. Su charla brindó consejos sencillos y cosas que hacer para ayudar a nuestros seres queridos a sentirse apoyados durante estos tiempos aterradores”.

“Su discurso me hizo sentir vista y comprendida. Abordar las formas en que podemos ayudar a quienes luchan con estos pensamientos a través de las sugerencias de Elayna podría cambiar mi vida. ¡Inolvidable!”

“La Dra. Elayna Fernández es una mujer victoriosa que defiende la manera en que las personas pueden comprender los estigmas relacionados con el suicidio, les da permiso a las personas para que ya no sufran en silencio y nos enseña cómo ser una persona segura y solidaria. Es un ejemplo vivo para todos nosotros”.

“El discurso de la Dra. Elayna Fernández no solo fue inspirador sino también profundamente informativo. A través de su orientación sobre los métodos correctos para ayudar a los demás, nos empoderó para convertirnos en personas SEGURAS y trabajar activamente para salvar vidas”.

“La charla de Elayna me dejó sin palabras y me hizo reflexionar profundamente sobre una conversación pasada con una amiga que necesitaba una persona segura en la cual confiar. Con las mejores intenciones, me di cuenta de que no estaba preparada para ser esa persona en ese momento, pero ahora puedo y lo seré. Elayna nos enseña cómo convertirnos en esa persona segura, empoderándonos para ayudar a quienes luchan con pensamientos suicidas. El mensaje de Elayna es un llamado vital a la acción, que nos muestra cómo podemos marcar una verdadera diferencia en la vida de alguien”.

“Elayna tiene la capacidad única de llegar al alma de las personas y al mismo tiempo brindar consejos prácticos para cambiar sus vidas. Afirmar a quienes sufrimos la enfermedad de los pensamientos suicidas es fundamental en el mundo actual para que sepamos que no estamos solos”.

“El tema sincero de la Dra. Elayna me hizo llorar. Me sentí informada, convencida y empoderada para ser la persona SEGURA de la que habla. Lamentablemente, el suicidio es un problema global y no podemos permitirnos permanecer desinformados”.

“Sus declaraciones son reveladoras y su charla nos enseña cómo ayudar a las personas que sufren. Están en todas partes y pueden estar más cerca de lo que crees”.

“El poderoso discurso de la Dra. Elayna Fernández sobre la prevención del suicidio no solo destacó la importancia de ser una persona SEGURA, sino que también nos inspiró a tomar medidas y potencialmente salvar vidas”.

“Aprecio su vulnerabilidad y apertura para abordar el tema del suicidio, a menudo pasado por alto y estigmatizado. Educa a su audiencia sobre cómo ser una persona segura y brinda pautas para una comunicación de apoyo, destacando cómo todos podemos desempeñar un papel en la prevención del suicidio y el apoyo a quienes están luchando”.

En el evento, la Dra. Elayna Fernández, inmigrante de la República Dominicana y ciudadana naturalizada de los Estados Unidos, también fue honrada con el el premio presidencial llamado “Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award,” acompañado de una carta oficial de la oficina del Presidente de los Estados Unidos, para celebrar el compromiso inquebrantable de ella a empoderar a quienes le rodean a romper ciclos, encontrar la paz y sentirse completos, en sus hogares, lugares de trabajo y en el mundo.

Para conmemorar este merecido reconocimiento a su vida de contribución impactante y sus incansables esfuerzos por servir a esta nación, Fernández también apareció en una valla publicitaria en Times Square más tarde ese día.

“Estoy profundamente agradecida por la oportunidad de llevar esperanza a personas de todo el mundo a través de mis libros, charlas y programas de capacitación, y de apoyar a quienes quieren hacer lo mismo para convertirse en narradores de historias transformadoras. Como trabajé como coach de oradores con cada orador en esta cumbre, sé el amor que se derramó en cada una de estas charlas y sé que nuestros esfuerzos individuales y colectivos están creando una ola de amor que puede propagarse y sanar al mundo”, dijo la Dra. Elayna Fernández sobre el evento.

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
