I am a Mixtec woman (an Indigenous group from the Oaxaca region of Mexico) from Tecomaxtlahuaca, Oaxaca. I am part of the Indigenous Futures Network and Kueñaá Ña’a Tsika Mujeres que Caminan, where I work alongside Indigenous women and youth to defend our territories and bodies.

“Justice for communities is climate justice.” Mitzy Cortés

Through environmental education and storytelling, I aim to dismantle the systems of inequality that harm our communities and the land.
