Because our body speaks and we want to hear it! Listen to your body.

I owe it to my mother’s grandmother –of rural origins-, to my mother –emigrant from the country to the city-, and to my sister Lola –my friend and accomplice in life-, as well as other women who have influenced me.
I have realized that our bodies are the testimony of a person’s life, we can read stories from it: every wrinkle, inner or outer scar is there, waiting to be read and translated into various languages: art, journalism, literature, video, radio, etc. My first approach was by seeing a magazine displaying a female mons pubis with the inscription: “Women aren‘t born, but made.” This powerful image caused hundreds of feelings in me that led me to the Miraval sisters, the writer Virginia Wolf, Christiane Northrup's legacy, New Yorker’s labors, and the women from the Mexican Revolution, the women murdered in Ciudad Juárez, and others who helped me find them and myself. That is how I have written a proposal starting from the basic feminist statements about our bodies, but with a modern look and voice, from daily life, the exploration of our bodies and the search for basic tools to help and listen to each other and be able to achieve reconstruction within ourselves.

I am a Mexican journalist (35) specialized in gender, human rights and social issues. My grandfather greatly influenced me. He told me that one comes to this world to be born and do things, and also that there would be a great revolution in this country. I wish to relate those words to the present and make use of the 21st century technologies to give birth to journalist proposals of social impact.

Una amiga me envió la convocatoria. Me interesa ampliar y explorar las múltiples miradas sobre el cuerpo de las mujeres desde el arte, la ciencia, las condiciones de la violencia, la crisis económica, la salud, la sexualidad y los derechos humanos. En estos momentos estoy iniciando una serie de entrevistas y testimonios temáticos para seguir explorando el tema de la salud y la influencia de la historia, la cultura y la condición económica en la salud de las mujeres.
