washington in an amazing city a
awesome city is a city that
represents many things political power
spies a city that represents
history
my movie does not start to washington
but that’s where I am today
there I feel at home is a city that
for me it means a lot
I call my destiny my movie
begins elsewhere starts in another
place
begins in a place full of contrasts
and contradictions begins in one place
full of noise and fury in a crowded place
of passion and joy
begins in a place full of realism
magical literally magical realism
my movie starts in the caribbean
Colombian in a city called
barranquilla there I was born and I grew up
Barranquilla is my origin and Washington and
Barranquilla are two cities very
different are cities with systems
different legal rights Anglo-Saxon
civil law are cities culturally
very different are cities with
a different language when I got there not
they spoke the same language
For me, I ‘m a lawyer and I’m a lawyer
profession and practice exercises in
Washington and also exercises in Colombia
and it was not always like that for me in a
era of my life this was a dream was
a utopia because I grew up thinking that
lawyers we could only work where
we study ideas that you want to put
one in the head
so for me it was simply a
dream
a dream that was very very far I come
here to tell you a story
anecdote that with some variations I
has happened several times in the past
years and has led me to think
reflect and develop this idea that
I want to share this theory with you
that turns me in the head that says
the important thing is not the destination is the
origin and the road was one day in
Bogota a cold morning in a room
meetings and a young woman approached me
the one that had exchanged a couple of
words when you enter and you tell me
margarita sanchez I say yes that you
can help nothing just wanted
know she wants to know her because I
I’m also drowning
I know your story and now that the
I know
I feel there are no barriers to exercise
to do what I want
On another occasion, they are the father of a family
I was approached after a conference and I
said my son I want to do the same thing that
you
but in Spain he is crazy to go to
Spain because he is in love with a
Spanish and I tell you how you are going to go
Spain if you are a lawyer in Colombia
to vote your career to trash your future
The trash
now I have a different idea he told me
on another occasion it was a colleague who
He said how did you make your own
firm where did you get the courage other
to a friend who told me how you did as
managed to be a professor in one of the
most prestigious universities in the world
and all those questions
first it fills me with a lot of pride
a lot of honor but after that I was given the
idea that is to think that counting
sharing my my way could open
the door of other young people who
they came after me and for each of
they
together I always had a very answer
concrete how you came to exercise in another
country
good to study the requirements look at what
is what I had to do to study
very much the exam to be the bar already
I’m like I set up my own firm
I studied a lot the law regulations and
a lot about entrepreneurship all the
books that I think were happening to me
newspaper magazine about entrepreneurship
I did a course on how to ride your
own law firm that organizes the
bar of lawyers there put together a plan of
deal
I closed my eyes hard and I jumped and here
I am
It was always a very specific question and
a very specific response until a
A young girl arrived and sent me an email
and it started saying or the daisy about
barranquillera enough point to
grab attention and told me to be in
washington tal date
I want to have a coffee with you and of course
of course let’s see when you’re here
he arrived we had a coffee there in my
low office on Pennsylvania Avenue and
he said look at me I’m barranquillera
I am a lawyer and I am very proud as
woman as a lawyer and as a barranquillera
of what you have done congratulated me and not
he asked me what I had done to exercise
there or what credits I took or what
bing subjects and I answer in a
interview when it’s my first
job interview and I wonder
something very different
I wonder what you feel that has been
determinant in your life to reach
your professional goals
I said I do not know I kept thinking I take
a coffee and I said for fernando is called
villa maria fernando sabés one thing is
my origin
I am what I am today thanks to my
roots and step yours
we leave, I feel that is what I am
I owe it to the place where I grew up
we said goodbye and took his way to
the subway station
I left the course or office and all that
way I was thinking about your question and
in my answer my origin that were those
things the features about me
origin that I felt had been
determinants in my career in achievement
of my meters right now when it came
to stop here on the road in the
plane before riding the plane
that passage from salt to the plane that does not pass
through the tunnel are a series of
message propaganda and a photo month there
a photo is large a bank of a
bank and they talk about goal ambition
existing you see the picture up
that you find the last and the last
he said the important thing is not the origin is
the fate of smiling because I come with
the subject in your head when you have a
subject head see everything all
parties and I do not come to say otherwise
I do not come to say what destiny and origin
what I come to say is not important
here is that if we know each other
themselves and we know where we came from
we can find our destiny
I understand the goals are important for
Of course, dreams are important
they are important but what happens if not
we know if we do not have clear goals
what about those who have not
found his vocation what happens with his
son that they are and baccalaureate and does not have
no idea what to do and is worried as
father and his son worried as children and
all the pressure that there is on success me
you are successful, work for
get success and people get lost
what is its origin in that reflection that
I made it for I found three things
about my origin that I think have been
determinants
the creativity of the place where I come
creativity permeates the air
perceived in the air we usually associate
creativity or the creatives with the
musicians with painters with
artists and eye with associations
eye with associations the lawyers
we are also creative
Even so, I say to you word
creativity and you will not see a lawyer to
head right away we are creative and
I insist I ‘m sure that if I did
an exercise that one does when
child and social words in a word
one side in words from another side has
that unite the creativity expose musician
and lawyer
how many here are we going to associate drowned with
creativity
probably me and the lawyers that
they are here in the and still I think that
they would be a bit cautious
the lawyers every day our
work is to think how we create all the
days how do we create a solution to a
problem the problem is our client
how do we create an argument to convince
to a judge that our case is correct and
is not the counterpart create in your
definition more more perfect creativity
in its most perfect building is the
ability to create and where I
I am from the place where I come, we create
since we were kids
second I come from a place that has
suffered a lot
I in a place
that has been hit hard by many
tragedies
okay
bush a place that has been hit by
many tragedies behind each one these
Photos
there is a story a story that I
I remember as if it were yesterday
a story that hurt that I felt that
I experienced that it hurt and it hurt a lot but
I come from a town
I come from a place in a country of people
that people react to the
adversity does not stay put out
my way forward has not been easy
been full of great satisfactions of
many joys but also of
obstacles of failures and before each one
of these I got up I have taken strength and
has come out ahead and I owe that to
where I am from that is called
resilience the ability to advance before
adverse situations
finally that third attribute that
I owe my origin connection
connection those that are from Barranquilla
have ever been the carnival of
canyon know exactly what I
I mean and those who are not from here or never
nor a carnival I recommend you go
tell me
I mean contact with people
I mean that ability to
communicate
I’m not talking about being extroverted
I’m talking about being partying to be
happy we are happy we are happy but
I do not mean that I mean the
empathy
I mean that ability to
communicate to connect with people
and how he moved from that to my life
professional teamwork work
collaborative respect respect for
people who work with me respect for me
adversary respect for the person who
is superior
I owe that to the place where I am
I come from a place where we
we connect by the word we do not connect
with a smile we connect with the
dance that I owe it to the place of
where I am now in keel I carry it
I’ve been away for a long time
that’s not enabled
my roots on the contrary is
strengthened for me this has a lot
relevance now when I see my son
little boy of six who is growing
is growing very fast is growing
in a country other than my country and I
impregnated day by day the love for me
culture for my country the culture of their
ancestors but he is going to grow in a
different country your identity is going to be
different
the origin
know who we are
It is the place where we spend our childhood
where we live our youth is
they forged our first dreams where
we fell in love for the first time that place
is determinant in our future life
in the professional in my professional life
in the future our destiny
That’s the idea before I leave.
tell them that these three words
creativity resilience and connection
I travel and travel a lot because of my work and
whenever I’m traveling and I’m paying
the suitcase
I think the pac empack usually
running the night before and beyond
of those 24 kilos that fit in the suitcase
are those three words for me those three
words in the perfect luggage for
travel I want to ask for a moment
accompany me and all here close
your eyes for a couple of seconds without pity
and think what is my origin who am I
where I come from
you can open the are here in this
auditorium and I want you to take that
question and share it and share it
with their children with their friends with their
brothers or keep it stay with
her and take her like that melody
contagious that stays in your head
stuck and think these three words
for me they are like a seal a seal that
is printed in everything that I do that has
impregnated in my personal life in my
professional life
that seal for me the golden gate seal
you do not matter where you are from
Bogota of Cali of Bogotá Medellin and
santa marta from mexico matters from where
we are all have an origin which
they should feel proud
my made the golden door seal
what is your stamp thank you
[Applause]
