With Valentine's Day upon us, lovebirds across the country are giving themselves a pass to indulge in large amounts of chocolate in the name of love. In the U.S. alone, more than 58 million pounds of chocolate candy are reportedly sold during Valentine's week, making up more than 5 percent of chocolate candy's sales for the year.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Latin America, award-winning Mexican-American Chocolatier Arcelia Gallardo is also taking her love and passion for chocolate to another level -- proving that it has the power to unify communities, empower women and ultimately change the world.
