Today, we speak with Norma Méndez, mother of journalist Melissa Alfaro, who was killed in October 1991 at the age of 23 by a letter bomb addressed to Cambio magazine.

Doña Norma carries with her the memory and dignity of those who refuse to let the past be forgotten. In this episode, we talk about Melissa—her life, her journalistic calling, and what it means for a mother to keep her daughter’s memory alive in the face of impunity.

An intimate and necessary conversation about the power of words, the right to truth, and the enduring struggle for justice in Peru.
