Aida Domènech: Dulceida
Dulceida has done it all, from advertising to a small role as an actress in series like Paquita Salas, so it’s no surprise that she is one of the most important influencers in our country.

You know it’s summer when politicians and some media start releasing more false and misleading information than usual to criminalize, target, and persecute street vendors. https://t.co/yhvojVssZF
