Welcoming Them Home: Día de Muertos in La Mixteca
In La Mixteca, Día de Muertos is a celebration of life, love, and remembrance. Through food, flowers, family traditions, and carefully prepared offerings, families welcome their departed loved ones home and honor the bonds that continue across generations.
The Shout That Still Brings Us Together
Every September 15, when I hear that first “¡Viva México!” rise from thousands of throats at the same time, I still feel a piece of the kid I once was, holding my mom's hand, understanding for the first time that being Mexican means, above all, this: coming together, if only for one night a year, to shout that we're still here.
