Brenda Zambrano is one clear example of activism and cultural work as one inseparable association. In fact, her literary career begins after experiencing the migrant experience in person from her native Honduras on her way to Spain. Even being around forty years old and having children of her own to whom she must say goodbye with an uncertain promise, she decided to capture her experience in the form of literary stories from her subaltern position as a migrant woman. Her involvement with the Honduran community present in Spain leads her, on the other hand, to create and direct the first newspaper focused entirely on the homonymous public, Xatruch 504, as well as leading relevant positions in different cultural associations in favor of the Honduran culture in the Iberian country. Throughout this interview we so talk with her about her literary activity, whose first publication’s title is quite meaningful, Survivors in Spain (2021), her opinion on religious faith as a link for the Latin American people in the diaspora or the new forms of exercising motherhood in the migrant context.
