Dalia (she/her) is a Nahuatl interfaith theologian and Baptist pastor. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Indigenous Pastoral Care from the Baptist Seminary of Mexico (SBM), as well as a Master's Degree in Latino Ministries from Palmer Theological Seminary in the USA. She serves as the General Director of the Mayan Intercultural Seminar (SIM) in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas-Mexico, while at the same time coordinating and accompanying the COSTIAY (Community of Indigenous Theologians of Abya Yala). By living in a cosmopolitan space, and at the same time working between indigenous communities that speak Tseltal and Tsotsil, she has been deeply marked by interculturality, as well as by interreligiousness, spirituality, gender, ecotheology, defense of the land and the construction of peace.

She has known the BPFNA since she was a student of the SBM, having the privilege of participating in the 2012 camp that took place in Northfield MN, and the one in Mexico in 2017. Meeting the BPFNA has helped her to understand that peace is a work of men, women, children, rooted in justice, liberation and reconciliation. Likewise, it requires an extremely patient and persevering work.

Because she is a woman of the original peoples of Mexico, her thought and her way of seeing life led her to say as the healer of her people: "The back does not hurt, the burdens hurt, the eyes do not hurt, injustice hurts and it hurts us, and because it hurts us, we fight for the LEKIL KUXLEJAL (Full Life) Jn 10:10."
