I’m a positive person, spiritual and very connected with herself and nature. I love the arts and culture and human connection. It is all interconnected and the most important of course after my daughters. I’m here to support women however I can within my reach. I have a fascination with books, ancient and indigenous cultures, the intersection of technology with indigenous knowledge when being used for good is a place where I would like to dive deeper. I live between México and Canadá and i adore both places.
I’m indigenous Yaqui from Sonora and I’m always eager to continue learning to increase my knowledge in many topics. I’m very social as well but I do love my alone time. I lost my dear and only brother a year ago. He was a very special soul. A hero, and that has shaped me in ways that are hard to describe. I’m now forming as an artist and have taken on painting and sculpting.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I would say I have embraced unconventionality my whole life, even as a kid. I always did what felt right to me and did what I thought the most fair thing was. I never followed one group. I always had a few groups and decided what felt the best for me. I continue to be this way. When people don’t question authority it causes my stomach to hurt and makes me cringe. When people follow without questioning it makes me question the person too.
Anyway, this can be a sensitive topic nowadays.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
I paint, I write, I’m a storyteller, I sign, I cry loud and sign old songs from Mexico from the time of my mother and my grandmother.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
At the moment I can’t mentor.
I run a charity, I’m a mother of two and an artist. I would say I can talk about Mexican art and culture for a long time. I have read many books in the topic but my university degree is in finance.
I’m definitely happy to support within my social groups, online and my audience if the values align.
