Silvia was 19 when her mum died. “I’d been living in Boston on a gap year, learning English,” she says. “I came home to Mexico City when my mum was ill, but I didn’t know she had terminal cancer. I thought she would get better.”
Her death came as a huge shock and Silvia plunged into a depression. Two years later, she was still struggling with grief. “My sister suggested we set up a screen printing business together, which was a nice distraction from everything because I became so busy with work.”
