It is impressive how 2020 can still manage to qualify as one of the craziest years of my life. I know maybe my life has not been that broad, but I can assure you this year will forever remain in my memory. There is no doubt these are difficult times for humanity’s future, everyone’s lives turned upside down abruptly, and to be honest a spark of hope was created when hundreds of governments united to fight the common enemy, a disease. Any type of change is considered scary, but as a society we managed to stay together and tackle our global challenges. Now everyone’s reality has changed again. I...

Please stop, when is it going to be enough? How many lives have to be taken away for this to stop? In Mexico 10 women die every day because of their gender and 1 out of them is a child.

Human rights are being violated all over the world. In fact, in 2010 Amnesty International reported cases of torture and restrictions on freedom of opinion in almost half of all countries. Imagine that not even the United Nations can interfere. People are being forced to flee their homes, the number of child soldiers is exorbitant, coercion is being used to accuse people of crimes they didn’t commit, feminicides and torture such as slaughter, burying people alive and poisoning are happening as minutes go by. Many of the people responsible for ensuring that human rights are respected, protected...

Mexico is the only Spanish-speaking country in all of Northern America. Mexico was first declared a sovereign country in the year 1810. Mexico finally gained its freedom after 300 hundred years of Spanish rule. Today when most people think of Mexico they typically think of telenovelas, food, beaches, art, and music.
