TERESA’S STORY

Born in 1895, Teresa Espinosa Moreno was an activist, a social changemaker and a pillar of her family and community. Her efforts organizing women workers and fighting for political change were interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, which forced Teresa and her family to flee their home and go into hiding.

Caught by the Fascist government, Teresa spent three years imprisoned for her political activities. After her release, Teresa and her family suffered years of poverty, but Teresa never lost hope. She taught her children and grandchildren everything she knew—from the importance of respect, dignity and equality to the secrets of creating an incredible meal from humble ingredients. Her love of hosting and feeding guests inspired her grandson Rubén García to share her life with the world, creating a space as warm and inviting as abuela Teresa’s home.
