The luncheon was an
opportunity for Alumnae to catch up
with one another and share stories
about the college experience thus far.
The day consisted of skill-building
workshops with CHS Alumnae and
faculty. Some of the topics discussed
throughout the day were self-advocacy
and the importance of mental health.
The intimate discussion included
shared experiences of going from an

First Paperback, Morir Soñando
Y asmin Nicole Richards ’18, who
writes under the pseudonym
“Nico, la Negrita,” has just released
her most recent publication and
debut paperback, entitled Morir
Soñando. Yasmin is an Afro-Latina
from the Bronx, NY who was raised
by her single mother, along with her
two older siblings. Morir Soñando is
written in mostly English with several
poems written in Spanish. The title
of her book is twofold to express her
identity as a Dominican woman and
the struggles of her ancestors. Morir
Soñando literally translates as “to
die dreaming;” however, it is also the
name of a very popular drink in the
Dominican Republic, where half of her
family originates from.
Yasmin’s first two publications were
eBooks whose profits went directly
to funding her higher education after
she graduated from Cathedral. She
acknowledges several of her “educators
who quickly became family figures”
from Cathedral in her book: “Without
their support and selflessness, this
book may have never come into
fruition.”
She states,“My belief is that I am the
