She and her mother helped to raise Patria, Minerva, and Mate's children. She runs the museum, Museo de las Hermanas Mirabales, located on their property and tells the stories of her sisters' tirelessly. She has striven to keep their memories and spirits alive in the lives of the Dominican Republicans.
