Julia and Luvia
March 8, 2017 by spixl
It’s a travel day for me and I didn’t think I would have time to honor my sisters of the world on this International Women’s Day. However, thanks to a flight delay that has left me with an even longer than planned layover in Houston, I can think of no better way to celebrate the day than presenting Julia and Luvia; two of the extraordinary women of Teotitlán del Valle.

They embody the strength, ingenuity, intelligence, and creativity of women everywhere!

Thank you! I arrived arrived in el norte safe and sound.
So proud of you, this is, in my view, the embodiment of what this day represents.
Wow, thanks, Ernie!
I can’t stop looking at this “pink guy” He speaks to me!
He is quite a guy; the work of mural artist Lelo with Luvia.
