Official launch of The Corn Islands Virtual Library
The love that I have for my origin, my people, and my community and the desire to help preserve our ancestral roots and identity led me in August of 2021 to create The Corn Islands Virtual Library Project—which today, 1st of May 2023, is officially available to everyone.
The Corn Islands Virtual Library (TCISVL) is a website that stores and holds a compilation of research about Great Corn Island and Little Corn Island, old photographs, videos, maps, tales, myths, legends, and oral accounts that are part of the identity and culture of the Corn Islands and its people and that is precisely necessary to conserve for present and future generations.
The information stored on the website and that will futurely be available is thanks to the collaboration of local historians and our elders, those here with us and who have passed on to better life, who value and know the importance of conserving and knowing our identity and history.
The Virtual Library will also be dedicated to promoting the culture, original traditions, beliefs, and history of the islands and also a series of research to document fully the island's past and present.
This project, which is executed through STS Initiative, is for everyone who wishes to learn about the Corn Islands beyond its natural and tourist attractions, but it's especially for us islanders who wish to share, preserve or learn about our origin.
I invite you to collaborate with this project by sharing any piece of information that you have that may be valuable to freeze in time and to take part in the compilation of historical and academic information about the islands that will be useful for everyone.

Strong women
I grew up around strong and hard-working women, decisive and committed to their families, and throughout my journey I've met others devoted to their people and social justice.
From them, I have learned that respect is a must and that looking out for others is the only way to achieve greatness and positively transform our surroundings.
To all of them, thank you for all that you do and for shaping the minds of many who continue working to make our community a better place.
