JOHAIRA: You ever watch a couple in love dancing? They never take their eyes off each other. The world could be burning around them, but their focus stays here

Thank you to @germanthesounddesigner for bringing me on as associate to their beautiful design. And thank you to @guadalisdc@melanncrespo@mcctheater and the @solprojectnyc for bringing us this magic. Seeing my abuelos in Johaira and Manuel’s love story was a gift 🇩🇴

I am so so so so grateful to have made the friends I’ve made in this life and that they can show up to a legal union for a trashy theme and NOT disappoint.
Love you weirdos and from the bottom of my lil heart, thank you💛
Amarillo is out!💛🌬🌻🖤
I am so honored to have arranged and produced a track by my favorite songwriter @andurina___
I’m learning that I may never find my work perfect or done but trying to practice celebrating the milestones along the way. Finding pride in where I was in that exact moment is part of the journey…right?🫠
It would mean a lot to me if you have it a listen and let me know what you think💛
