Still emotional over this weekend. ๐
Walking for tha Bestie at SWAIA Native Fashion Week and then seeing my name mentioned alongside so many incredible Indigenous creatives in articles covering the weekend honestly feels surreal. Iโm truly grateful. ๐ฅน
Moments like this remind me how important visibility is not just in the beauty space, but in fashion, art, media, and storytelling too. Indigenous people deserve to be seen everywhere. And weโre doing exactly that. ๐
Thank you for allowing me to be part of something so beautiful and thank you for writing about it @sandrahaleschulman for @indiancountrytoday

Santa Fe energy. ๐คโจ
Leather jacket thrown over my shoulders, the @laurengoodday mesh top doing what she needed to do, and a little reminder that Indigenous fashion belongs everywhere! Tha streets, runways, magazines, boardrooms, fit bodies, thicccc bodies, tall bodies, short bodies, all bodies honey.
Thereโs something magical about Santa Fe that always brings me back to myself. The colors, the architecture, the sunsets, the people. But def not the elevation, lol.
Just a little brown girl from the sticks feeling beautiful in her own skin today. ๐ค

Still trying to process the little girl in me seeing herself in Vogue alongside my friends. ๐ฅน๐
A proud Indigenous/Xicana woman. A proud plus size model. A proud mama. A proud partner. A proud founder & CEO. A hella proud @laurengoodday model.
Lauren designed and sewed these ribbon dresses by hand, every detail crafted with love, intention, and artistry. Watching her work on these pieces for weeks and then being able to wear one and represent her vision, her talent, and her heart will always be an honor.
Thank you for allowing me to do that for you, Lorena. ๐
Thank you to @chrisjallaire for writing about this moment and for continuing to create space for Indigenous beauty, fashion, art, and representation to be seen on a platform as big as Vogue.
This isnโt just fashion. This is visibility. This is healing. This is our future generations being able to open magazines, scroll online, and finally see themselves reflected back as beautiful, worthy, powerful, and enough.
For every little Indigenous kid who has ever felt unseen:
WE WERE ALWAYS ART. WE WERE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL. WE WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO TAKE UP SPACE. ๐

Thank you so much to @speedy_artistry and @nals_kescoli for having the most beautiful custom beaded pendant + earrings of my logo made for me. When I opened it I literally had chills, and after a lil bit I cried, like really cried. The love, the intention, the time, the artistry, I am so honored to receive this gift.
Thank you to Patricia Green from Kayenta, AZ for bringing this vision to life with your hands. Your work is powerful. It carries so much meaning for me. I will treasure this forever.
Fern and Nals, you are such an important part of my life but also for @pradosbeauty ๐ The way you show up with love, encouragement, and support for me and this brand means more than I can ever explain.
