In this episode, I talk to Yehimi Cambrón. She is a DACAmented artist, activist, entrepreneur, public speaker, and soon-to-be-author born in Michoacán, México, and raised in Atlanta. Her murals throughout Atlanta elevate social justice issues through the lenses of immigration narratives. In 2019, the Mexican Consulate selected Cambrón as the recipient of the “Distinguished Mexicans” award and silver medal from the Institute of Mexicans Abroad. In June of 2020, she painted her tallest mural to date, We Give Each Other the World, a community-responsive mural co-funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the City of Hapeville. In August of 2020, Cambrón painted her most recent mural Monuments: Atlanta’s Immigrants at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. #ChingaLaMigra is Yehimi's most recent installation at Atlanta Contemporary Museum
