XŌCHIPILLI: Q***r Expression, Culture & Love

Next week something very special is coming to La Plaza de Cultura y Artes! A photo exhibition and community conversation celebrating q***r culture, and creative expression.

Xōchipilli is inspired by the Mexica deity associated with art, beauty, pleasure, and self-expression. Through this project we wanted to explore what q***r expression looks like when it’s rooted in culture, storytelling, and community.

The evening will feature a photo exhibit by photographer Jorgie Aguilar , followed by a panel conversation with the creative team behind the project where we’ll talk about identity, artistry, and the power of representation.

You’ll also get to meet the incredible collaborators who helped bring this vision to life:

📸 Photographer: Jorgie Aguilar
✨ Models: Luis Cornejo & Luisifer
👗 Styling & Wardrobe: Laura Olvera
💄 Makeup: Gel
💇 Hair: Norma Pineda
💎 Jewelry Styling: Arely Briseño –
🎤 Panel Moderator: Natalie Garcia — writer, actress of , host of and founder of

We’ll also have vendors, music, and a mezcal tasting to make the night even more special.

This project is about celebrating q***r expression through culture, fashion, and art… and creating a space where our stories are visible, honored, and shared.

📍 La Plaza de Cultura y Artes – Downtown LA
📅 March 12, 2026
⏰ 7–9 PM

The event is free, but space is limited, RSVP through the link in my bio or on the La Plaza website.

Had an amazing time last night at the Latin Honors celebration. This special night celebrates Latine LGBTQ+ leaders in entertainment, advocacy, and journalism.

We danced, ate, and heard beautiful speeches centering our communities.

What a night.

Some lessons don’t feel like breakthroughs. They feel like letting go.

Letting go of survival modes that once protected you.

Letting go of being the “strong one.”

Letting go of waiting for apologies that may never come.

Growth will ask you to release versions of yourself that kept you safe… but small.

And that can feel uncomfortable before it feels freeing.

You can love your family and still choose differently.

You can move slowly and still be evolving.
You can outgrow what once felt like home.

Peace might feel unfamiliar at first, especially if chaos used to feel normal. Stay with it anyway.

Save this for when you need the reminder. And send it to someone who’s choosing healing, even when it’s quiet. 🖤

Some lessons don’t come from books… they come from living, unlearning, and choosing yourself a little more each time.

Maybe you’ve outgrown roles you once needed. Maybe you’re learning that boundaries are clarity, that rest is necessary, that love should feel expansive instead of exhausting. None of this is about being perfect, it’s about becoming more honest with who you are and what you need.

Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. And remember: growth doesn’t always look loud… sometimes it just looks like finally feeling at peace in your own life.

Save this for when you need the reminder, and share it with someone who’s doing the work too. 🖤

Stepping into my dark fantasy era, where storytelling, fashion, and self-expression meet.

Photos by Hugo capturing a world that feels cinematic, bold, and a little otherworldly… exactly how I love to create.

If you’ve been wanting a shoot that feels intentional, elevated, and true to your vision, I’m currently booking creative direction, styling, and photoshoot packages.

There’s a lot of noise right now about Mexico… and with that comes grief, fear, misinformation, and narratives that flatten an entire country into a headline.

The violence is real. People deserve safety. And at the same time, we have to hold context… history, systems, and the ways global forces shape what we see today.

As a therapist and someone deeply connected to our communities, I think about the emotional weight many of us carry watching our culture discussed without nuance. The exhaustion of defending your identity. The nervous system strain of holding pride and pain at the same time.

We can care deeply about safety without feeding stereotypes.

We can love Mexico without reducing it to tragedy.

And we can speak with compassion while still naming truth.

May we move with intention in what we share, how we speak, and the dignity we extend to one another, especially during moments like this.

With love & care.

History is rarely as simple as we were taught.

The Aztecs, also known as the Mexica, are often reduced to one narrative: sacrifice, violence, or conquest. But when you look deeper, you find a complex civilization shaped by diplomacy, science, spirituality, art, and community. Colonial storytelling didn’t just describe history… it framed Indigenous people in ways that justified war, conversion, and erasure.

When history is told through only one lens, it impacts how descendants see themselves, how culture is valued, and even how we hold our own identity and mental health today.

Reclaiming nuance means reclaiming humanity. And for many of us with Indigenous roots, learning the fuller context can be part of healing, not just intellectually, but emotionally too.

More moments from this dark fantasy series: a vision rooted in imagination, self-expression, and the worlds many of us dreamed about growing up. I’ve always been drawn to fantasy, but rarely saw people who looked like me centered in those stories… so I created my own version.

These images continue that exploration… softness and strength, glamour and edge, q***rness without apology. Fashion becomes language, and every detail carries intention: jewelry by , a custom hat by Silvia , and the powerful eye of behind the lens bringing it all to life.

For me, this work isn’t just aesthetic… it’s about visibility, mental health, and giving ourselves permission to exist fully in spaces we were once told weren’t made for us. Dark fantasy, but make it ours.

This plática invites us into the heart of the Xochipilli series… a visual exploration of identity, cultural memory, and q***r self-expression shaped through lived experience and collective storytelling. Together with collaborators and artists, we’ll move through imagery, conversation, and reflection on how art becomes a bridge between joy, resilience, and culture.

I’m especially excited to share that Luisifer ( ) will be part of this season: a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends music, visual storytelling, and q***r expression rooted in East LA creativity. Their presence adds another layer of boldness and artistry to this moment.

Hosted at LA Plaza — a cultural hub dedicated to uplifting Latinx stories through art, education, and community programming… this evening is designed to be welcoming, accessible, and grounded in connection.
