Diosa Worldwide Celebrates Women's History Month with Latin Artist, Singer, Songwriter : Manu Manzo
In honor of Women's History month we met up with Manu Manzo, the talented, ferocious - Latina bombshell to speak on how 2023 has been treating her, her goals for this year, her fave places to eat in Miami and whats next!
The Venezuelan songstress started this year off with a bang as she sang the United States anthem in front of millions of viewers on national television!! She tells us she has a lot of music coming and is in walks to releasing an album. Although she has a lot in sight her main goal for 2023 is looking to find peace in all of her life's decisions !
1. Manu, al entrar al año 2023 te hiciste alguna promesa o quizás te propusiste alguna meta que quieres lograr? ¿Cuál es tu energía para este año?
English:
Manu , when you entered 2023 , did you make any promises to yourself or perhaps set any goals that you would like to accomplish? What's your energy for this year?

uyyyy si. Este año mis resolutions cambiaron un poco- yo siempre digo que ante todo quiero ser "FELIZ" pero ahora ante todo quiero tener y estar en PAZ. y esa es mi resolucion. Estar en paz con los que me rodean, con las decisiones que tomo, con las relaciones que elijo mantener, con mi hogar, con TODO. I was so addicted to chaos and drama for such a long time, that peace seemed boring but not I feel so much joy in finding and aligning with the things that give me peace. No siempre vamos a estar felices pero si tengo paz, I am able to build up from there.
2. After recently becoming a US citizen in 2022 you were chosen to sing the national anthem at the Miami Dolphins game on January 8th , 2023 which aired on FOX , how incredible.
Tell me, how did you prepare for that day? When you were called on to do this, what was your first reaction? and what did it feel like to be in the center of that huge stadium full of people?
Después de recibir tu ciudadanía Estadounidense en 2022, fuiste elegida para cantar el himno nacional en el juego de los Miami Dolphins el 8 de enero de 2023 que se transmitió por FOX, qué increíble.
Cuéntame, ¿cómo te preparaste para ese día? Cuando te llamaron para hacer esto, ¿cuál fue tu primera reacción? y ¿cómo se sintió estar en el centro de ese enorme estadio lleno de gente?

There are moments in life where God and the astros decide to align and create a near perfect moment. My management had been working on closing a date since Oct/Nov 2022 and we were in between the Christsmas game and the Jan 8th game- and we were leaning more toward the Dec 25 game. Gods Plan is Gods Plan so we ended up closing the Jan 8th game early december. Right away I called my amazing voice teacher and we did two hour rehearsals twice a week for 2 weeks since I was leaving on vacation for New years. Long story short- I got extremely sick on my vacation- like cant speak, harsh cough and headache, full of mucus, bedridden, 5 days before the performance. I stayed in bed all those days eating extremely healthy and drinking a ton of liquids including a garlic/honey/ginger/Pinneapple potion my voice teacher recommended & I was so NERVOUS lol. 2 days before the 8th they told us that the National Anthem was going to be televised, they usually don't do that, and that the Anthem had to be timed under 2 mins. So now I was EXTRA nervous. The big day comes around- I get my Jersey which coincidentally is the same number as Damar Hamlin's who had just recovered from his heart attack and whom they were honoring prior to the anthem- I go to soundcheck and I can't get through the anthem without coughing BUT the voice is sounding good. Once show time comes around I just prayed to God that he would take the wheel and sing through me and i really don't remember much after that, I completely blacked out- it was the first time that happened to me and I felt my whole body vibrating and shaking from clenching so much so I wouldn't cough and would hit the high notes. Once I finished I just felt relief and really good about the whole thing- and when I saw my team and the smiles on their faces I knew I had done my thing. It was interesting because I'm usually a nervous wreck, but I felt so confident that day knowing that God had put me there because I deserved to be there- and I was prepared. It was a lof of pressure but a HUGE honor and genuinely so much fun. I try to never take it too seriously these days because I remind myself that this is supposed to be fun.
