Today, on what would have been Frida Kahlo‘s 110th birthday, we’re honoring this legend by remembering her wisdom, her words, and her passion.
There’s no doubt that Kahlo’s spirit lives on in so many ways, from the relevant like her majestic artwork to the trivial such as her face on t-shirts and bags. All of these things isn’t to exploit the spirit of Frida or negate what she stood for, but to keep her close.
The rarity of a person like Kahlo — a woman, a Latina, an artist, a feminist, a Mexican — is why we hold her as a saint, even though she was far from it. She’ll remain on our pedestal forever, and for that reason alone, we’re very fortunate to have had her walk this Earth at all. Kahlo was a true authentic person that was unapologetic for her flaws and her glory.
