MEET THE TENNESSEE COMADRES 

Their facilitator for the past 11 years has been Viviana “Vivi” Aureille, but the group is 16 years old. They get together once a month, usually on Saturdays.  

Their Comadrazos are exclusively in Spanish, and they’ve brought people together to form smaller groups for all sorts of fun activities. From traveling together, catching a movie, discovering new restaurants, and celebrating weddings to hiking and paddleboarding—there’s always something exciting happening! 

The Tennessee Comadres were visible at this year’s Worldwide Comadrazo & 25th Anniversary Celebration in Austin, Texas.  Their group leader Vivi was a finalist for 2025 Nora Award – Comadre of the Year.  She didn’t win but she’s always a winner to her group.

New York City Comadres Night Out

Hot Stuff! New York City Comadres gathered at the Donna Summer Tribute in Forest Park, Queens, and stayed until the Last Dance. There was lots of singing and dancing, and boogie oogie oogie till they just couldn’t boogie no more!
