Sister Genoveva does not look down as she speaks. Her eyes, which she inherited from her maternal grandparents, are as blue as her habit and her veil. There are pictures of Pope Francis and Mother Teresa hanging from the walls of her office and a wooden, carved Mafalda (the famous Argentine comic strip character). She speaks of God and human rights, she considers herself an activist, and she thinks that the woman's body has historically been diminished, including in the Bible. She is one of the voices fighting against human trafficking in Colombia.
She is an absolute fan of Quino's character, Mafalda, with whom she shares the role of leader of a gang of friends. She is part of the Tamar network, established in 2013 to prevent human trafficking. She never thought of getting married or having children, and before she decided to become a nun, she dreamed of being a famous journalist and a writer.
