Nathalie Kelley Instagram – Mexico… I love you. Even more so after taking @mexican__excellence’s course on Women in Mesoamerica and the Decolonized History of Mexico. I’m filled with wonder every day at the richness of the Indigenous history, the stunning biodiversity and enormous creativity – it is no wonder that Mexico is attracting more and more people from around the world. Being one of those people myself I feel like I can share a message to others like me… be an ally, don’t come just to extract, educate yourself on the history of the lands you are visiting, the thousands of years of human history under every step you take, oppose the continual development that threatens every last sacred place (cough, Tulum), make every effort to support the preservation of Indigenous languages and cultures. Within them lies Mexico’s hope for the future. 🌵 ⚡️thank you to the Zapotec, Mexica, Cholultec, Mixtec and Xochimilcan ancestors on whose lands I walked on these last few months. Every visit I learn something new about their wisdom, rooted in their intimate relationship with this world and the cosmos… as always I bow in reverence 🙏🏽
