MIS HEBILLAS. Some wear their heart on their shoulders. I used to wear my heart, identity and spirit on my belt. #hebillas #vaqueraup #ranchola #xicanics #buckles #xihuahuera #cultura When you in it for the long haul. This isn't a trend or a slogan. This is our life. And our lives depend on it. Now that there's a lil down time and I plan to retreat a little to plan and write... I get to think about how our /my work has supported people, families, communities and especially womxn and queer circles. This photo is of the Coyolxauhqui circle, what was an idea in my head back in 2004 or so and that was womxinfested in 2010. Our circle can be seen as a talking circle, as therapy, as performance art, as an event or workshop, as art, or interventions, as prayer, as protest or all of the above. It's not in the papers, or art or psych journals, not funded by grants (yet), and its pretty low key. Just like the collective work of Mujeres de Maiz which we started in 1997, spirit and love is the base todo. Sometimes I trip out on what we've done and been able to do, the longevity of it all, and especially where it is going. Thanks to all who have been a part in one way or another. TodxsSomxs! Photo by @teotlacuila of this month's Coyolxauhqui Circle in City Terrace- I wasn't able to make that one, very few that I have missed in almost 7 years but it's a solid circle and crew and they held it up. 🙌🏾🌕🙌🏾 This week was busy with entrepreneur events - Tuesday got a certificate for the Entreprenuer Training Program w/ LA Business Source, Wednesday supported the final installment of SHG's ARTrepreneurs Program, and Last night a packed WOC entrepreneur platica/talk featuring the homie panelists who we've built relationships with over the past decade. Thanks to all! This is what one part of community empowerment and education looks like!
