FAR OUT #72 ~ Don't ask 'why me?' ask 'for what?' with Mayan entrepreneur Anita Cortez Chac - a podcast by Julie-Roxane Krikorian, Alasdair Plambeck

Anita is a force to be reckoned with. She began her business career at eight after she sold her first banana to a gringo on the streets of San Pedro and she's never looked back. In her early twenties she walked away from a life that had no place for her in it, becoming a single mother and an outcast. Anita shares her journey through adversity and how it has made her who she is today: a successful female role model who's mission is to improve the very community that once shunned her. Both uplifting and heartbreaking, her story gives a window into what it was like to grow up as a Mayan woman in a small town in Guatemala. Its a story you don't want to miss.
