During our inauguration on August 24, 2019, Myrna Lazcano, along with the activist group “Running for Ayotzinapa 43,” brought bananas and oranges which we placed all around the porch railing. Myrna gave an inaugural speech and Mauricio helped to translate.
After the speech, Heidy sang “Gracias a la Vida/Thanks for Life” by Mercedes Sosa. All present held hands in gratitude to everything that lead to being there, in that moment.
