Jimena Garcia Cabello, “outside, no one talks about them”

Revealing

27/11/2023

From her youngest age, Jimena has been told that she could make a difference. In her home country Mexico, she got to witness injustice and unspoken truths, first as a volunteer to support underprivileged children, and then as a professional psychologist. With Reinserta, she supports women in prison to develop their skills, self-esteem, and maintain bonds with their children even through the walls.

In co-production with the L’Oréal Fund for Women, “Revealing” tells the stories of those who, every day, contribute to changing society.
