We are the voices of those who are

We are the voices OF WHICH THEY ARE NO LONGER

One of my passions is photography and last year I had the opportunity to attend to photograph the feminist march on March 8, 2020 in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. It was a day that became a spiritual experience for me. I cried, I screamed, I laughed, danced and marched together with everyone to demand my rights. Many of the women in the march carried signs with phrases written on them. Some in a tone of sarcasm, others in tones of battle. One of these posters that caught my attention read:

“They will never again have the comfort of our silence.”

We live in a world that sometimes seems to be destined to make us suffer, to disappear and to shut us up. It is true that not everything can be pink, but it can be purple. As women we must begin to shine, to blind our enemies with the brightness of our fighting souls that have only begun to twinkle. Part of this fight is in education, remember that it is never too late to start learning, so I give you my basic tools to start.

Here are some recommendations for books and Instagram accounts so that you can inform yourself.
