Artisan - Petrona Gomez Luna
Tenejapa, Mexico
Since I was ten years old, I learned because my mother taught me to work the backstrap loom. I have been doing this for 38 years and it is my main source of income but sometimes it is very complicated to sell my products because it involves leaving my town and it ends up being more expensive. People mostly don't want to pay the fair price for the products so to get some money, I end up offering it to the resellers who pay poorly in order for me to have a little bit of money.
