Astrid Silva is a Guerrera.
She is a Santos Laguna fan through and through. Born right across the Nazas River from Torreón in Gómez Palacio, “I had no choice in being a Santos fan,” she told FMF State of Mind in a phone call recently. “It was just in my blood. My dad has always said ‘Santos came first, and then you came second.’ He tells me that I’m his second love. My family came to the United States when I was four.”
She is also a fighter.
Silva is an advocate for the rights of undocumented persons in the United States.
