Welcome back to Becoming HER, the space where we celebrate women who rise, rebuild, and keep dreaming no matter the odds. Today’s guest, Dr. Jenisbel Acevedo, is a doctor, philanthropist, content creator, and mother of two whose story is rooted in courage and hope. At just nine years old, Jenisbel left Cuba on a handmade raft built by her father — a journey that taught her to face change with faith and to hold onto her dreams through uncertainty. Her new book, Un Barco de Sueños — A Raft of Dreams — captures that same spirit of resilience and reminds us that it’s never too late to chase what calls your heart. Jenisbel, welcome to Becoming HER.
