I recently found out that my beautiful aunt Matilde Fontes Barbosa Vicente was posthumously given an award recognizing her contributions to Fogo Island. I may ask everyone else to add something about my aunt, but this is what I have to say about her (pardon my long post). She was small in stature, but giant in presence. She made herself known in a room and was deeply respected by all. Her former students, employees etc. She was a high administrator at Fogo's post office and ran the OMCV. She also was a teacher, school Principal & then administrador, while raising 3 super smart kids (one actually a genius, but I can't name names, bc I love all 3 equally). She was an activist for the women and labored alongside man and was a force to be reckoned with. She was altruist, strong, beautiful inside & out. She sacrificed for her loved ones and all made sure she lived a beautiful life. She didn't allow her trials & tribulations to define her as her person or to defeat her. Like a lioness she defended her cubs (her family members) tooth & nails. She was my voice of reason & sounding board. She filled in the gap & became my aunt mama in US. I owe finishing my degree to her as she opened her door even though she didn't have a lot space as she had other relatives living with her while adjusting to U.S. but we decided, where she slept I would be right beside her. I postponed my wedding few times in 2011 with hopes, she would beat cancer and be beside me. She told me days before she died "Tania, I had my plans, but God has other plans for me." I know you're whipping everyone into shape & make sure rules are followed and the place is immaculately clean (she was a clean freak) for us. We recognized YOU before your death. The world is just finding out about you. I came from warriors on both side of my family. Females, that took charge & took risks. Today, I'm honoring my #dna. The Caboverdean women that took charge when men migrated. They are our heroes & one of them is my Tia Matilde.

Uma mulher de garra, inteligência única e linda. Amo-te tia e sei que estás ao lado dos teus pais, , Irmão, cunhada e avós.
