Meet the Sisters Behind Spanish Livestream for Governor Cooper’s Meetings

Jackie and Yasmin Metivier, who were born and raised in Mexico, simultaneously interpret the remarks of officials into Spanish.
Trip to Mexico
“Yasmin served as the interpreter on an immersive trip to Mexico that I participated on, along with others from the NC Community College System. Her communication skills were superior, and always clear and easy to understand. She was a joy to listen to and to get to know as a member of the delegation. She is someone I strongly recommend for interpretative services.”

“Yasmin is awesome! Energetic, creative and she knows EVERYONE. Most importantly, if Yasmin sets her mind on accomplishing something, consider it done.”
Sig Hutchinson, Wake County Commissioner
“Yasmin is a Hispanic market expert who excels at helping newcomers to Hispanic marketing succeed in their efforts. She has a deep understanding of and great respect for 1st-generation immigrants and is a well-respected advocate for the NC Hispanic community. Yasmin has worked with companies to develop meaningful grassroots programs designed to Hispanics succeed in their lives in the US. Yasmin is also a very engaging presenter on a number of topics of interest to large corporations, entrepreneurs, financial service providers, and grassroots organizations. It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with Yasmin when we get to work together on a project!”
Eva A. May
“Yasmin is one of a kind. She not only understands various cultures, ethnicities and languages, she understands people and is an expert in her field. She has the ability to connect with the new immigrant and the ability to walk in a board room and talk to the CEO. She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that far exceeds anyone else I’ve encountered in my 10+ years working with the Hispanic segment/ community. Yasmin and her company created the successful Bibi series for BB&T. This is one of her many contributions as a partner to BB&T.”
Teresa Mackey, Commercial. Sales Support, BBT (now Truist)
“I worked with Yasmin for several years. She developed the first curricula for interpreters working in health settings for the state, and still teaches these courses. My office at the time evaluated and attended many of her trainings and she and her colleagues consistently received the highest marks. She is the go-to person in the business community regarding a new immigrant Latino workforce. She has developed recognized campaigns for the banking and other industries. Her work has been recognized widely. I highly recommend Yasmin.”
Andea Bazan, CDO, After-School All Stars

Testimonials
Yasmin has been a certified Level A-1 Master Spanish Interpreter for the Administrative Office of the Courts, N.C. since 2000, and has vast experience in a variety of industries.
Legal/Judicial
“I have worked in our court system since 1983 in many different roles, from front line court services to my service as a Magistrate Judge to my role as an attorney representing clients accused of crimes. For over the past 37 years I have utilized the services of countless interpreters. Yasmin is the most proficient, professional and pleasant interpreter of them all. Her highly skilled and seamless simultaneous interpretation saves me and my clients’ time and money. Her calm and comfortable demeanor and pleasant personality immediately gives me and my clients confidence and trust that our words are being effectively communicated. Yasmin makes my clients feel present and involved in the proceeding being translated. Her services are invaluable. If Yasmin is available, then I will not use any other interpreter. If she isn’t available, then I will try to wait for her. The quality and character that she brings to the relationship between me in my clients is invaluable.”
Bill Young, Partner/ Criminal Defense Attorney, Hatch, Little & Bunn L.L.P.
Community Event
“Few match Yasmin’s ability to deftly and seamlessly interpret verbal communication between the Spanish and English languages. Verbal communication plays an essential role in maintaining a strong and trusting relationship between LCCU and its members and finding an interpreter to facilitate that relationship is paramount. Yasmin served as an interpreter for LCCU’s Annual Member Meeting and Graduation Ceremony in May of 2019, and I was thoroughly impressed.
This event included speakers utilizing both English and Spanish and audience members originating from all across Latin America and the United States. Despite the many varieties and dialects of language spoken by the event’s more than 400 attendees, Yasmin demonstrated her remarkable ability to not just interpret each speaker’s message but to transmit the original emotional essence of the message in a way that was easily comprehensible for all. This is an art, and Yasmin has mastered it.
Given Yasmin’s performance at this event, I will certainly request her services for future events that require the skills of an expert interpreter.”
Luis Pastor, President and CEO of Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU), Durham
Presentations/Public Speaking
“Yasmin has passion! She is an over the top presenter, always very prepared, and extremely motivating. She shares her personal stories and draws people to her. She is always encouraging discussion about business, non profits and immigration. She makes people think and question their pre-conceived idea. I would recommend her for any type of presentation or leadership position.”
Winkie La Force, former president, Leadership Triangle
“We teach a sixth-semester Spanish course at Duke titled Translating Spanish-English and English-Spanish, and since 2016 we have invited Yasmin every semester to give a 75-minute basic (court and conference) interpretation workshop. Her presentation engages with some of the unexpected challenges implicit in interpretation, demonstrates some of the nuts and bolts of the profession, points students to resources they can access, and reassures them that they know more than they think they do. Yasmin has customized the workshop to fit the needs of our group, and her unparalleled real-life experience and dynamic presence invariably lead our students to cite her workshop is one of the highlights of the entire semester.”
