An intimate and warm ambiance was set to receive most of the 107 Inspiring Mexicans, men and women from all walks of life, portrayed in Those Who Inspire Mexico, as well as our partners, the press and all those who have supported us to make this book a reality, they are part of Those Who Inspire Movement.
