Cholitas Bravas

I was raised by a single mother in the Andes in Peru. I’ve always admired brave women and culture, it’s in my DNA. I found out that Cholitas, indigenous women in Bolivia, were doing extreme sports while embracing their roots. Not too many years ago, the term ‘Cholita’ was a derogatory name for young Indigenous women. Nowadays, Cholitas proudly wear traditional clothing to break ethnic barriers. Being from a neighboring country where we have similar backgrounds; this hit a weak spot in my heart. I had to meet and capture all these ladies. And guess who I brought with me as my assistant? My mama. She immediately said yes to this adventure.
