Some oldies from when I used to model š¤ it used to be so fun but I wouldāve never called myself a model, not even when I was signed. I just wasnāt into it. All Iāve ever wanted to be was an actress, director, filmmaker in regards to that.
As promised! Here is my trailer for my film āAsi Somos Nosotrasā that wouldnāt be possible without my amazing family š If youāre interested in watching it, itās being screened February 4th at a Mini Film Fest hosted by @ugnyofficial especially for Latine Filmmakers alongside 2 other films. Thereās a panel discussion and āØminglingāØ after. Tickets are available in @ugnyofficial ās bio š¤ come meet us!
A R T - #2 in my Moving Poetry series where I make my old poems come to life // I shot and edited this all in one day!! š«
No makeup, no extra lighting, nothing to hide behind. I wanted my insecurities to be on full display.
Making this was extra special because most of the editing was done while watching @cloudgem make beats on live today. It was like two artists making art side by side lol
Also, hbd kk š¤

2025, if you were a club, youād see me every Friday night religiously. My own personal 2016.
My entire life shifted trajectory exponentially after 1 small decision on 12/2/24. Your ENTIRE life can completely switch in any given 5 minute interval, trust and believe. Keep planting seeds, throw em around everywhere even. Donāt have to have perfect aim. It will rain, things will be hard sometimes. But when that sun comes back out and they bloom babyyyā¦ anything can happen in just 5 minutes. My vision board got put to WORK in 2025.
2026, Iām in yuh. Letās go even harder āØ
1. I keep my circle small, I only roll with the other G.O.A.T.S.
4. If you need to find me, Iāll be standing in front of a mic
5. You see that lil silver device on my hip? I had cramps so bad I wanted to crawl around on set like Samara in The Ring but I found a soundless solution so I could keep operating that boom #womeninfilm
10. Eating goodt and doing what I love in Jamaica šÆš²
11. Photog: @malaika.menakaya - If you see me on set, Iām 80% messing around, 20% locked in but that 20% is worth 100% lol
12. Being gifted plants (or food) is my love language
13. Preformed on stage, hopped off, and grabbed my cam to make more magic
16. My baby, my heart and soul š«¶ been manifesting my own spot since I was 13
17. One day there will be a last time I ever clock in to any job, and the end is nigh
19. If you ever find my signature (Santilari) at Starr Bar take a pic and show me š
Jul 19 - Umbra š« | late post but Iām beyond grateful for the turnout of my debut show āļøāØ thank you to everyone who came out and supported, shout out to all the performers for doing your thing āØand a massive shout out to @supportwaveali for giving me a platform to speak my truth š congrats on your single release! šø: @fraankla & @mr.skyfall7
Iāll be performing again on Aug 30th in Chelsea for The Rotten Apple. Come catch some more songs, including one Iāve never preformed before and is dropping soon! More info for RSVP on my story š«¶
Your new life will cost you your old one, and itās never a one time payment.
Itās impossible to capture just how pivotal the last 6 months have been, but here are just a few moments I wanted to share. If I had to title this chapter it would definitely be āReap What You Sowā in the best way. The biggest theme has been strangers, friends, and family āļøš«¶
Slide 3: people I had just met that same day from a job celebrating my birthday with me š¤ this past birthday season was immensely difficult to say the least, but thank you to everyone who held me up end of last year when I couldnāt stand on my own š«¶ I cherish all of you beyond measure.
Slide 4: Iām learning how to preform! Iāve been making music since I was 10-15 and itās such a full circle moment for me to share it and hear people react live omg. So lucky I got to preform with such an amazing singer @_lydiannnna
Slide 5: Iām finally (mostly) healed from my fractured ankle! The bag was protecting my big ankle boot from the sand on set lol. Note to self: if youāre limping and it hurts, its not all in your head and donāt be afraid to use mobility aids! And donāt work while injured or youāll be injured longer
Slide 6: my first watercolor painting I made while hanging out with my dear friend š«¶ I wrote the biggest life lesson I had to learn in order to start living and not just surviving
Slide 7: working on the coolest set of my career so far with beautiful souls š« donate to @wmufilm !
Slide 10: have been tapping into my middle school chess club nerd self and bought a beautiful wooden chessboard (not pictured) Now I play chess whenever I can (hmu if you wanna play chess fr)
You will never be fully understood by everyone. Not everyone should be able to understand you. But do you understand and know yourself? Are you being true to what guides you inside? Concern yourself with you, not others.
Make your art for you, not the world. It will reach whoever it wants to reach but it means nothing if it doesnāt reach inside of you.
