Who is La Siguanaba? La Siguanaba transforms herself into Super Siguanaba - a superhero who fights for social justice, social equality, mental health rights, and environmental justice.
La Siguanaba is a shape-shifting Mayan superhero young woman. By day, she is a mesmerizing beauty with extraordinary intelligence. At night, the characteristics and traits of her evil side become apparent, exemplified by long hair, sagging breasts and razor-sharp nails. She struggles with depression, multiple personalities, and other mental health issues. Sometimes, she hears voices and imagines spirits. Her number one tormentor is El Cadejo - a twin spirit dog wolf. The fundamental question is: Who will triumph? La Siguanaba or El Cadejo.
She has magical powers through the Loroco plant in the day. At night, she becomes an avenging, horrific spirit who seeks out corporate polluters destroying our air and water. She's forced to leave El Salvador, since Nestle and Coca Cola drained the small river near where she lived to sell recycled water and sodas, destroying all crop growth, and forcing everyone to migrate.
Eventually, La Siguanaba migrates to the United States, where she is initially unseen, unheard, and invisible.
As a Latina immigrant, she's discriminated against because of her gender, accent, and dark skin. She is questioned daily and not promoted in the National Academy of Sciences, even though she has obtained two PhDs from UCLA - one in science and the second in astrophysics. She continues her journey, however, undeterred by the haters.
She develops secret formulas to extract clean, natural water from the Loroco and Flor de Izote plants, while working 24 hours, seven days a week in the laboratories of UCLA for decades. The Flor de Loroco has magical powers through which water can be extracted and reproduced. People throughout the world begin to grow Loroco plants in order to survive the droughts that climate change causes. The Loroco plant begins to be perceived as magical.
Super Siguanaba obtains patents for all her invaluable work. After decades, La Siguanaba is officially recognized by the United Nations and other prestigious institutions
