Lorena Ramírez Nahueachi, a Rarámuri runner who has defied athletic paradigms, shared her inspiring story of how, with cultural pride, perseverance, and female empowerment, she broke barriers and conquered the world.

What is really behind the legend of the "light-footed one"? In this moving and revealing talk during the Women Economic Forum Aguascalientes, moderator Michelle Ferrari welcomes the legendary Rarámuri ultramarathoner Lorena Ramírez and Estrella, director of her foundation, to highlight the profound needs of the Sierra Tarahumara and the new milestones in her career.

Far from conventional training, the Netflix documentary, or what is taught in SEP textbooks, Estrella shares firsthand the daily reality of the community: children who walk up to five hours to get to school, the fight against childhood malnutrition, and the creation of the Lorena Ramírez Foundation AC as an authorized donee. Discover the details of her food project for 700 indigenous children and the ambitious "Unstoppable Mexico" initiative, which seeks to boost the talent of Rarámuri runners in track sprints, breaking paradigms to achieve a historic qualification for the Olympic Games.
