This mural was made to honor the women figure in our society, highlighting then Lourdes Del Río, a journalist originated from Añasco who has worked with Univision for more than 20 years where she served as a correspondent for the Nacional News in Miami. Del Rio has covered different events such as the presidential elections, the terrorist attacks of September 11th and the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. She was also the only Spanish-speaking journalist who was able to broadcast the devastation of Hurricane Katrina live. For the past 25 years, she has extensively reported on the immigration crisis inside and outside the United States, being the voice of millions of immigrants with and without documents. Currently, she broadcasts the podcast “En Positivo” in which she conducts interviews with personalities to provide the audience with keys to living a life with a positive outlook.
This magnificent mural presents various distinctive images and scenes from Del Rio’s life and career.
