Mujeres Maravillosas On The Move – 2013

Are you wondering where the year went? I know I am. While it’s been a blur for me filled with ups, downs, and side-to-sides I can say that Latinas are doing fantastic work telling our stories in Chicago. I wanted to take a moment to recognize these women who inspire, create, and tell our stories fiercely in a variety of mediums. Please note this is not in any order. These are women I’ve made note of in my head because in one way or another they  inspire me to write. It’s important to recognize that these ladies bust their ass everyday of the year to make our stories happen.  They strengthen the Latino community through their work in the arts, media, community organizing, and creating spaces for stories to take root. Gracias Mujeres Maravillosas!
