Miguel Yga is a traveling journalist, writer, and adventurer on a mission to collect and share stories that explore the human experience. By weaving travel and storytelling, his two greatest passions, Miguel takes readers into forgotten corners of the globe to live vicarious experiences that foster a sense of adventure and expand their inner and outer worlds.
In pursuit of his calling, Miguel has spent the past eight years on the road collecting stories, primarily among indigenous peoples. His travels have taken him to the remote corners of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, Canada, and the United States, where strangers from over a dozen different indigenous communities—artists, stargazers, shamans, tribal elders, and community leaders—have welcomed him and provided intimate, firsthand access to their world.
When he isn't having near runs with sharks, trudging through jungles, or otherwise traveling the world, Miguel enjoys the pursuit of quiet pleasures that deepen his experience of life—until adventure comes knocking once more.
Camila and Olivia Cutzal are two Kaqchikel Maya sisters living in the heart of the Guatemalan highlands at the height of the country's brutal civil war. Their world is shattered when their parents disappear at the hands of soldiers, turning them into orphans in the midst of a war and setting them up for a lifelong journey to heal the unhealable.
The Embrace of Silence tells a moving true story of the lonely paths we walk on the road back to wholeness. By delving into their painful past, the Cutzal sisters break the silence of the Guatemalan Civil War to remind us of our capacity to bring light to the darkest recesses within ourselves in this compelling testimony to the resilience of the human spirit.
Oftentimes, it's through the eyes of the smallest among us —those we tend to overlook— that we can tell the biggest stories.
