Santo Domingo.- Renowned digital strategist Vilma Núñez and Dominican actress and journalist Mariela Encarnación expressed how happy they feel to be part of the fourth destination of the documentary series, “Dominicanos a Simple Vista Florida” (Dominicans at First Sight Florida).

“We are happy. We are part of the protagonists, because the truth is that Vilma did a great job, right? We don’t have the images here, but you know she did a research project, which I imagine was very complicated and difficult for a very simple reason: there are many of us Dominicans, I imagine they are going to have to make several versions of Dominicans at a glance in Florida, that we are paving the way,” expressed journalist Mariela Encarnación.

While digital marketing specialist Vilma Núñez stated and highlighted that achieving recognition in one’s own country represents a significant accomplishment and an opportunity to inspire other Dominicans to pursue their own goals.

The film that shows the public a broad look at Dominicans abroad, through testimonies connected by a common starting point: the different ways in which identity, preparation, resilience, and a sense of belonging accompany Dominicans who build their lives outside the country.

Núñez stated that behind every achievement there are sacrifices, failures, and perseverance, which is why he seeks to turn his experience into a message of motivation for those who work to achieve their goals.

“All of us have paid a price that has not been seen. Today we can enjoy great rewards, great fruits, but behind it there have been many no’s, many yes’s, many failures, many successes. And perhaps our message, our own success can motivate another person not to give up, to be disciplined, to be persistent,” stated the digital entrepreneur.
