- They are known as celebrity doctors among Hispanic patients in the United States for their work in digital media.
- Between them, they have more than 2.5 million followers on their different social networks.
- They have become popular for the creation of educational videos on health that have more than 50 million views.
The work related to health generates many satisfactions although some people are not satisfied with focusing on only one area. The world of entertainment and show business seem far from hospitals but a couple of doctors broke paradigms and became actresses.
Another way to raise awareness and educate outside of the office
In this case we refer to Klara Senior and Sofia Herrera, who are known among Hispanic patients in the United States for their constant campaigns on women’s health. But now they took a step outside the health field to debut in the famous play “Vagina Monologues”by Eva Ensler and directed by Manuel Mendoza.
This staging is one of the most popular in the world because it has been represented in different countries. It consists of nine monologues focused on the problems that women face. While it arose from the testimonies of more than 200 interviewees over more than 22 years.
“It is sad to see that, over the years, history has not changed. On the contrary, women and children continue to be victims of unscrupulous people, regardless of their sex”, says Dr. Senior.
One of the characteristics of “The Vagina Monologues” is that it does not require large assemblies or scenery. The only thing that is required are nine chairs where the same number of women are placed to read the script with the dialogues. Throughout history various celebrities have been invited to be part of this project. While now the two doctors became stage actresses for a limited time.
For its part, the theme of the work today looks more relevant than ever. It is not only about femicides and fatal attacks against women, but also about verbal and psychological attacks. Violence is now even greater than in the past.
“It happens because there is no conscious, normalized education about what sexuality is for women. This allows it to continue to happen. Our vagina is not only for having children and menstruating, it is also for our joy and enjoyment”, says Dr. Herrera.
Klara and Sofía agree that we must take back girl power, without competing with the other. Equality from the heart, without hatred or resentment, since these states can produce cancer, immune diseases, frustration, loneliness, anguish and restlessness.
Female doctors turned temporary theater actresses
For their part, the two doctors who are now theater actresses also stand out for their work on social networks. Between them they have more than 2.5 million followers, while their educational videos on health have more than 50 million viewswhich has turned them into celebrity doctors.
Both Klara and Sofía are Venezuelan by birth, although for political and economic reasons they had to move to Miami where they currently reside. While both are graduates of the General Physician career from the Central University of Venezuela.
