The Consulate of Mexico in San Francisco It is led by women as part of the changes that have occurred in recent years in the neighboring country to the south, where on October 1, the president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum will take office, becoming the first to hold the highest national office.
"With many expectations, very proud to be a woman, my colleagues and I are here today at the consulate leading the way. We are all women, so we are very happy to have a female president. This is a historic change in the country and this motivates us greatly," said Ana Luisa Vallejo, Consul General of Mexico in San Francisco.
The leader of this Consulate said she was happy that a woman is in this position to improve services in the community, because with Claudia Sheinbaum as president the commitment is greater.
This was stated during the radio program PenÃnsula 360 in collaboration with Marcos Gutiérrez, where she also invited people to be part of the Mercadito Virtual project: there are 7 women who were chosen by their INE to be trained in collaboration with various Mexican institutions, and who will present their entrepreneurial projects through a session broadcast virtually on Facebook.
This will take place on September 26 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., where their projects will be announced, encouraging more women to join this initiative.
The aim is to help women entrepreneurs to have better entrepreneurship, which is why they were given training for several months and had the support of some Mexican institutions that collaborated so that the entrepreneurship had better results.
"It is very important to support all the efforts of Mexicans to carry out an initiative in a new project so that they can carry it out and not just stay with the idea, because these ideas can be brilliant," he stressed.
He also reported that in October there will be various activities focused on Health Month, during which campaigns will be presented aimed at caring for Mexicans abroad, so it is important to keep an eye on the Facebook page to find out what services will be offered.
In addition to this, Consul Ana Luisa Vallejo made the invitation to the exhibition ?Treasures of Adverse Possession?, by visual artist, activist and independent academic Francisco Guevara with the support of the ArquetopÃa foundation.
Archetopy is a non-profit artistic and academic organization with an international reach established in four distinct artistic regions, selected for their historical importance, influence and artistic contribution to the world: Puebla and Oaxaca, both in southern Mexico, Cuzco in Peru and Naples in southern Italy.
This art exhibition features thematic works that investigate history and narrative, exploring the profound impact of the 16th Century (1450-1650), a pivotal era that shaped the modern world through conquest and desire.
"It is very interesting to see how he mixed a Nahuatl and a saint in the work to express a totally new work of art. It is very interesting how he uses gold and silver things that make the work very interesting and invite you to reflect," Vallejo explained.
The exhibition opened on September 6, 2024, at the Consulate General of Mexico in San Francisco and will be available until October 18, 2024, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., an experience not to be missed.
