As Carnaval 2024 approaches, the Mission district community is celebrating this year's theme 'Honoring Your Indigenous Roots.'And for one local leader, who is preparing her festival float with passion, every rose is a deep symbol of love for her Mayan culture. 'Bashka Walee: It means, 'Como estas, how are you,'' Lydia Candila Chan, said in the ancient Mayan language.
Through financial support from other like-minded nonprofits, Chan helps immigrants of Mayan heritage acclimate to the Bay Area. That's why this year's Carnaval is so significant to her and her community. 'This Carnaval means a lot to them because some of them cannot leave the country, and that's why we are bringing the music for them to listen and to be happy,' Chan said.But it's not just a chance to enjoy her culture, it's also a chance to share it.
