She is excited, afraid, happy and sad.
The light reflects on her
with white painting, and big spaces.
She wants to write her story.
Several years and memories behind her
She represents a barrier.
She feels freer than ever,
she wants to write her story.
She is not she.
she is not the white wall,
she is the girl smiling.
She wants to write her story.
Look at her,
she wants to break the walls
she will fly again
because she is writing her story.

Mafe Farias is passionate about sustainable development, nature preservation, education, indigenous communities, and exploring the world. She is involved in rain forest restoration, life quality of indigenous communities focused in the way parents carry their babies and working with students in Mexico opening up dialogue about the quality of education they receive. Her goals for the year are contribute to my community in Ecuador, understanding a different culture, reflecting on my career decision and getting to know people that inspire me with their passions as well as sharing mine. On top of this I want to get more involved with feminism, indigenous communities and gender equality.
