Interview with Camille Acosta
“Take this child, Llorona,” said my nurse; and she put me in the arms of the old woman, who gave me several kisses, feigning tears. Of course I did not have the courage to look straight at that fateful apparition. I lost even the ability to scream once I felt in the power of La Llorona. As soon as I could hurl the tremulous phrase into the wind, I shouted: “I don’t want elotes ever again!” When they heard my retraction, they passed me from La Llorona’s arms to those of my dear nanny" -

Mural: San Francisco
Mural located in San Francisco, CA and illustrated by Juana Alicia La Llorona is displayed in this artwork differently than most people tend to see her. Instead of being a scary and evil figure, we see La Llorona here as a mother. A mother mourning the loss of her children. This mural is great for perspective, as it helps show the more vulnerable side to the Weeping Woman. -
