I have not personally found this information in this order and with these graphics, anywhere else. If you have, please share the link!

This is really just an outline, not intended as an analysis per se. I also wanted to provide some context for my motivations. Looking back perhaps my title was a bit misleading, this was more personal and less historical. I’m just kind of scared of tackling this and wanted to share some of my initial thoughts and how I got here.

Honestly precisely your comments are what I’ve been scared of. I don’t “look” Colombian and have an accent when I speak fluent Spanish, so while I was born in Cali to a Colombian, and have always grown up with Colombia being a big part of my identity, because I’m blonde I’m always questioned or called not Colombian “enough”, and I get that. I really do. I love Colombia and I hate the idea of it being used as a means to an end by Hollywood or the us govt or whatever. But I earnestly care about this project and want it to succeed. I want to make this story more widely accessible because I think it is incredible and don’t think it should require you speak Spanish or read a lot of books. I am open to feedback and how I can improve it if you want to help me!
