Why this story caught with me: If you wish to discuss ladies empowerment, take a loot at The Amazonas of Yaxunah. I had the blessing of touring to Yaxunah in Yucatán, México, to fulfill a particular group of indigenous ladies that defied their society, tradition and historical past, simply by selecting a softball and operating bases barefooted. The Mayan ladies grew to become a nationwide and worldwide sensation however remained untouched of their humility and need to let the world know that whereas sporting their conventional huipiles something is feasible. From enjoying on the sandy fields of their city, then stealing bases on the Phoenix’s Chase Subject and to watching their story on the large display in the course of the Los Angeles Latino Worldwide Movie Competition (LALIFF), there may be nothing inconceivable for these ladies. I dedicate this to my mom, my spouse, my daughter, my sisters, and to the numerous ladies which have impacted my life in a technique or one other and it was essential to share the story of The Amazonas with the world.
