IN SHORT

Cultural curator, entrepreneur and founder of i AM HERE, a platform that uses inspiration as a tool for empowerment, Bárbara Arredondo Ayala promotes kindness, authenticity, and positivity as the cornerstones of social change. “It is our responsibility to live truthfully, be open-minded and inspire people to question their ways of thinking,” she says, positive that change can only come from nurturing hope and creative potential. “What moves us as humans is the experience of loving and learning, creating and releasing, giving and receiving, forgiving and being forgiven. That’s what matters in life, more than anything.”
