Lucía Díaz Genao is a mother who became an activist and leader in the fight to find the disappeared in Mexico. Lucy will share how her world was turned upside down in 2013 when her 29-year-old son, Luis Guillermo, a popular DJ, was kidnapped. When the Mexican authorities failed to act, Lucy decided she had to do something. That began her tireless search for her son, a quest that is ongoing.
