When I was asked to write a special article for Mother's Day, the first thing that came to my mind was that this would be the perfect occasion to pay a small tribute to a woman I admire, Rosa Elena Tránsito Amaguaña Alba. As an activist she became a true mother for the indigenous people in Ecuador, that's why everyone knew her as Mamá Transito.
Traveling with my family around the country has allowed me to get to know many wonderful places, the different cultures and traditions of our country, and learn about the lives of people who have shaped our history. The story of Mamá Transito was unknown to me until 2020. One day, on one of our family trips we arrived at a small town in the parroquia of Olmedo, in Cayambe, called La Chimba.
