Trying to celebrate tiny triumphs in the face of uncertainty and fear. Just received copies of Miss Camper just in time for her book day on July 1st. But I feel guilty feeling pride and happiness while I fear for my community and family. But I have to remember that joy is an act of resistance, and we must hold on ❤️🩹 Stay safe & keep supporting each other!

I apologize for getting everyone’s hopes up! MISS QUINCES the movie is not happening, it was just an April fools joke. But a girl can dream, right? 🥺
Thank you all for your sweet messages! I promise the next movie promo will be the real deal. America Ferrera, I’m waiting on that call, girl ☎️
(Also, no AI was used for either post. Go learn photoshop, I promise it’s fun!)

Hard launching some huge news…MISS QUINCES is officially becoming a major motion picture!!! So excited to team up with fellow Honduran director America Ferrera and Netflix to bring this story to the big screen!
(It was a tie against Michael Bay)
And having Xochtil Gomez star as Sue is just perfect 👌
Thank you all for believing in Sue and her journey! This film wouldn’t be possible without your support 💖👑
Big thanks to Roni Fajardo for writing an incredible article.

(April fools!)
But if @americaferrera is interested in making this into a reality…hit a catracha up! 🤙🏽👀
Super excited to share I'll be featured in the next @artuscoart group show “Birding Man”, with my newest painting “Lechuzas”! It's a love letter to the Mexican mythology that made me terrified of owl when I was kid. But being a witch that can shapeshift sounds pretty cool now.
The opening reception is tomorrow with tons of rad birding talks & events, you should come! The show will be up from March 28th-May 30th!
