Jessica Loayza | Improving the Present by Understanding the Past in Bolivia
Manage episode 290398693 series 2780947
With a Bolivian husband and biracial children, Jessica envisioned a trip to Bolivia as the perfect opportunity to visit churches and cemeteries to research her family’s history. While there she had to redefine what success meant. Because of her curiosity and persistence, she came home with stories and photos that will be treasured for generations.
In this episode Jessica shares:
- The contrast between her research expectations and what was actually possible
- How visiting Bolivia allowed her to feel her family history rather than only know it
- That traveling thousands of miles, getting sick, driving in harrowing conditions was all worth it because of the stories and experiences she gets to pass to future generations
About Jessica:
Living in the space between, Jessica divides her time and attention between the rigors of motherhood, finishing a PhD program in Political Science, running a small business that assists small businesses and non-profits, and pretending her world still has time for 1950s homesteading values.
