Ana Margarita Gasteazoro fue una activista, militante, y organizadora durante la Guerra Civil de El Salvador. Cuenta su historia en el libro “Diganle a mi Madre que estoy en el Paraíso.” Falleció en los 90s pero su amiga Judy Blankenship guardó su historia y con la ayuda de MUPI, Tania Primavera, y otros, publicaron su libro en español en 2019 y en inglés en 2022. Hablamos del proceso de publicar el libro y de la importancia de resaltar historias de mujeres en la guerra.

Some of us are lucky to have a mom or an abuelita to teach us how to cook food from home. For the rest of us, there’s “Delicious El Salvador,” an award-winning Salvadoran cookbook by Alicia Maher. Alicia’s mission is to preserve our culture and teach the next generation of the diaspora that our food can compete on a world stage.

Alicia was born in Santa Ana, El Salvador and moved to Los Angeles when she was 19. She learned to cook from her mother, grandmother, aunts and friends. She is an award-winning author, a food historian, a cooking instructor, and most of all, a proud Salvadorena.

Had you met Jocelyn as a baby with a broken neck, back, and feet you might not have said she was born to run. However, what is undeniable is that she was born to be a warrior. She overcame her injuries to become a world record marathon runner. Now she’s inspiring girls, women, and humanity to reach their goals by simply putting one foot in front of the other.

Cristian hopes to do just that with Don Leo Coffee, the only one hundred percent Salvadoran produced coffee in the world. Forget the chains and the instant stuff, grab some Don Leo and see what El Salvador is made of.
