One Journey: Stitching Stories Across the Mexican “American” Border began as a vision, a seed planted in my homeland of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, nourished in the political consciousness I gained in the Bay Area, California and harvested through creative collaboration in New York City. After ten years of digging for my U.S./Mexico borderland history through research and insightful family and community interviews, I was determined to transform the richness of our stories into a dramatic interpretation that became this one--woman show.
