My patchwork is dedicated to mi tía abuela Carmen Flores Martinez who was brutally murdered by a man in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico in the 1980s. Although no one in my family speaks of her death, and even this project caused conflict, I will never stop speaking or telling her story. Tia Carmen taught me at a young age that women didn’t have to get married or have children. She was also an independent business owner who retrofitted her own home to create a tiendita that sold goods to the local community, enough to keep herself housed and fed without depending on anyone but herself.
