Isabel Cristina is a Sonoran woman, proud of her origin, her land, her people, her country, and her essence as a human being.

Cristina is a Chronicler committed to her people and in constant diffusion of living history, true history, daily history, but also with research and dissemination of the history of the past, rescuing what is useful for the present, especially that which strengthens and unify the peoples and the world. A writer of the chronicles of rural life, of the mountains, of the ethnic groups. In them, it reflects the reality that others do not see. With them, it awakens the conscience of those who, blinded by technological progress, by “progress” and by “civilization,” have forgotten those who still live in the oblivion of the authorities and the businessmen, of the professionals and the politicians.

A Poet, whose words of love, peace, demand for justice and public denunciation is the voice of those who are not heard, of those who do not know how to expose their demands and their cries for help. It is the word that resists wounds and also the one that whips injustices. Cristina, is the whip of the unprotected, against the abuses of those who hold economic and political power. Against the shameless who take advantage of the good faith and the will of those who have less.

A rebellious indigenous girl, a mountain woman, a student, a professional, a mother, a friend who believes that the most beautiful feelings are friendship and love. And with both responds to who manages to integrate among its most expensive and endearing human beings with those who make up their personal world and that extends to the world in general.
