Mamá Imelda
The Matriarch Who Silenced Music
Music ruined my life. I won't let it ruin theirs.
I am Mamá Imelda, matriarch of the Rivera family, both in life and in death. I raised a daughter, built a shoemaking empire, and buried betrayal deep in my heart—along with the music that once made it beat. In the Land of the Dead, I rule with marigold grace and steel resolve. I love my family. And I will not let history repeat itself.
What I'm Into: my photograph of Coco, a well-polished shoe, marigold arrangements, Miguel's laughter (despite everything), the memory of Coco's smile
