My focus was to be part of the solution in areas that I had identified needed action. Given my background, I first took a communicational approach. I created a digital media to promote what was being done and the fantastic places one could visit in my country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I got into my doctoral program and embarked on a six-year-long research in which I found my voice and gained a better understanding of my context. In the process was honored with several awards. And while I felt that I was, indeed, doing my part, it still felt personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I received the invitation to sit with the Minister of Culture, I was both mindblown and honored. I had many ideas, many suggestions, and even complaints! So I had to focus on what I understood was critical and neglected: cultural research and support for young researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to thank Minister Milagros German for her kind reception and openness. I also want to thank Alex\u00e9i Teller\u00edas for including me in the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MilagrosGermanO\/status\/1532130030666522624\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"590\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/marichamartinezsosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tweet-minister-culture.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marichamartinezsosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tweet-minister-culture.png 590w, https:\/\/marichamartinezsosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tweet-minister-culture-300x267.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took the role of a cultural activist and researcher nearly a decade ago.
