A massive, fifteen-foot version of Mexico's iconic Lele doll will be visiting Denver landmarks this week for the inaugural Cities Summit of the Americas.
"This is the perfect example of collaboration that comes when you bring people together," DiRienzo says."With Querétaro, they have this unique, iconic doll, so what an exciting opportunity to partner with other community organizations to ensure she was able to join us."
"The Cities Summit seemed like the perfect fit to bring a piece of Mexico's culture here to Denver," Newton says."We have such a large Mexican population here in Denver — the Latino community is growing, and it grows every year — and I think any time you can bring a true representation from the country of origin for so many people that are now living in the United States, in Colorado, it brings such joy and a feeling of being proud of where one comes from.
The #LelePorElMundo campaign started with Lele visiting the capital city of Baku, Azerbaijan in January, and since then, Mexican consulates and embassies have photographed Lele in numerous other cities, such as Barcelona and Nairobi.
