not at coachella 💔 (which feels like an oversight with a lineup like this year but ok) but my stories sure are! 🙂↕️
last november i flew out to cdmx to profile @cachirulaa y @loojanmusic , the mayors of sexolandia, after receiving some major news that they’d be bringing reggaeton mexa to the desert. 🌵☀️🎡
as a naturalized citizen of SL, i’ll be shaking ass from couchella, as for yall, a passport stamp worth getting whether you’re out there or streaming, trust me. ✨
before intl womens month is done [& in spirit of sharing more of my work] - some profile pieces from the past few years of @remezcla major mujeres series : a spotlight on some INCREDIBLY BADASS women who’ve changed the entertainment game
beyond honored to have nominated & penned these, but personally more honored for their leadership, mentorship & most importantly friendship every day. my circle is full of baddies! truly love when women!!! [ links in bio ] 💌✨
was i having fun doing hoodrat things with my friends that i forgot to take a photo by myself? yeah. did i have to chafa photoshop one to show of my futbol fashion fit? also yeah. should you still like it & applaud the effort? hell yeah brother.
as a first gen baby, always beautiful to see what KOI are capable of achieving on & off the field. thanks for the invite @buchananswhisky X @kidsofimmigrants 💌⚽️🥃✨
i <3 glorilla ! @gorillaz x @houseofkong
[ isn’t it crazy this is all just the entrance / exit bc your phone gets blocked for the actual experience? LOL anyways - we been knowing but damn @damonalbarn + @hewll your MINDS! 🤯 ]
oh yeah, turned 35 today. 🎈
safe to say, my life looks nothing like i imagined it would at this age. safe to say, neither does the world.
it’s really annoying how detrimentally bad society decided to get right as i was finally getting a grasp on it. but in true contrarian fashion, the worse it feels out there, the more disgustingly positive i want to be enveloped in. joy truly feels like the only option for survival. which is wild for someone who for so long wasn’t even sure she even fully wanted that as an option.
but the delulu brain has been putting in overtime lately, & no complaints so far. except, maybe, that time moves too fast. so no photoshoot this year. filling in is a moment this last year where i flew to the uk with no one knowing + got lost in the mountains of dublin. no signal. no email. no credit score in sight. the energy im trying to manifest for as many days moving fwd.
to getting older & somehow feeling (+ looking, tbh) younger. letting my joy be so loud it outlives whatever tries to harm it. letting my inner child feel so free that i become the safest place she knows.
here’s to a new year & gaslighting myself into a beautiful life. it’s working.
in honor of benito bowl wknd & me attempting to share more of my work:
the rumors are true, i did get to have the time of my life (yet again) thx to el conejo malo but this time in cdmx! (on my own dime btw, still waiting for that call anyone), but we couldn’t miss this opportunity so i was asked to ~hungoverly~ write some words on what bad bunny’s record breaking 8 shows meant for mexico, latines & the moment for @remezcla
pls excuse typos, missed edits etc ok! be nice - we were collectively fighting OOO holiday brain shut down, but piece still slayed! possibly my most viewed + circulated yet.
thx to everyone who caught it when it came out (esp that comment maker, conflated but appreciate the thought) & icymi, actual post reshared - pls check it out + like/comment/support your fave polyjammerous pisces <3
this is who you’re asking to write about the best in new latine music for @remezcla btw.
another year trying my best to track down earworms & bring them to ya weekly. here’s a wrap up of my 2025 NMF & EOY contributions.
lmk what releases you vibed with this year, if you discovered any new artists via our lists & who i should keep an eye on in 2026!
tagging limits aka will be @‘ing all artists in comments by month - please support music + artists always! <3
2025. somehow one of the best & worst years of my life. noticeably marked by my most offline & mia one yet.
that, plus the end of the world considered, ive decided to rewelcome you all to my page & self where time & space never existed & will continue not too. we’ll see 2026, 2025, 2024 & all things never posted before & then some. so hold on tight spider monkey. 🙂↕️🫰🏽
was an honor to flex the profile muscle again — and for one of the coolest & most exciting emerging bands ive come across in a while. although we spoke a bit ago, the time couldn’t be more right to release a piece on a band so eclectic in sound & unwavering in ethics. i could fangirl for a while about them - but I’ll let the piece do the talking.
my latest for @remezcla nuevo noise: meet @gritoexclamacion , mexico city’s emerging rebel yell.
“Emerging from the heart of Mexico City’s sprawling urban pulse, a new wave of alternative underground is clawing its way to the surface. Breaking through is Grito Exclamac!ón, an energizing five-piece band channeling the grime and grit of everyday life into music that defies expectations, challenges injustice, and reclaims punk for what it has always been: a furious, headstrong voice against complacency, conformity, and cultural erasure. After clocking out from their day jobs, the band logs into Zoom to discuss the rise of their moonlit endeavor. [Grito Exclamac!ón] are friends turned music phenoms performing under a moniker that’s part protest, part punctuation. Initially toying with the idea of calling themselves Oh!, they leaned into a clever alternative that captures their ethos: bold, commanding, and impossible to ignore.“

a v special post for a v special place 📸💛✨
this weekend @lasfotosproject is celebrating turning 15! a dream org, that offers a safe + resourceful space for young femmes to learn the craft behind the camera, i could have only wished for this to have existed growing up. but so thankful its now a reality for so many young teens in my city. to say im beyond humbled & appreciative to have received a special invite to celebrate in this milestone with them is an understatement - esp when i think about where my photography journey all started.
while tix to their Quince event are now sold out - check out the video for a little bit of inspiration on why you should very much still consider making a donation towards a unique and beloved safe space that aims to develop the next generation of women & gender expansive youth visionaries behind the lens - many which i can only hope will join me in the photo pit very soon.
