A little bit of my story

…for my beloved land

When I was a boy I never liked to say that I was born in Oaxaca, but I didn’t like a chihuahua either, I suppose that happens when you grow up in two different places; My mom born in Chihuahua and my dad from Oaxaca de Juárez, we always had many moves between the two cities, in the 90’s Oaxaca was always a land of much political conflict and has been considered a poor state, but the richest in Cultural diversity, flora and fauna, resilience and communality.

My paternal grandfather was a politician and statesman who perhaps was not as well known or famous as everyone is now. The “Fox” canseco as they knew him, was always a correct person and as he said, always with the truth in hand. Of the last memories that I have of him and that remain etched in my mind, it was on the day of the lawyer that he received the medal in the hands of Governor Jose Murat and at the end of his speech he said “if I have done something for Oaxaca, it is because in my mind and my heart always carry the great love that I have for my beloved land ”
