Our Frida

Frida, today would have been your 105th birthday
Few have left their mark on this world like you
You are, in fact, considered Mexico’s most recognized face
But beyond the fame and recognition is something much more important
Our culture and heritage

You are a symbol of all that is Mexican, an ambassador of our people
The rebozos, jade jewelry, huipiles, embroidered faldas
The pain, courage, beauty
It’s you
It’s us

Feliz Cumpleaños, Frida
