I was scared to do this photoshoot, when I was first asked. I called my sister like I usually do and she’s like “gooo it’s a good cause”. Nervous because this cause holds a lot of pain for our people and as an Indigenous woman. Im always scared, scared that I’ll go missing or my mom, my daughter, my family. So powerful and sad to do this shoot because I couldn’t help but see those images in my head of the MMIW events with mothers holding pictures of their daughter. I am so grateful to still be able to hold my daughter in my arms and stand for this cause … that should not be a cause at all!! For our stolen sisters, we will always remember and stand tall.

My art got stolen by 1000s of online shops so I sued them and bought an apartment with the money. 6 years ago my art was stolen by 1000s of online shops. They printed my art on all kinds of products and sold them everywhere around the world. They made millions from it. I even saw people wearing my art on the street and saw it at markets and souvenir shops on vacation. I tried to fight the theft by myself but gave up because it became too overwhelming. For every counterfeit item I got to remove, ten new ones popped up. Then 2 yrs ago I started working with a law firm. 16 lawyers took down over 2000 shops to this date & recovered funds. They said it was the biggest case of art theft they have ever had to deal with and they’re still working on it! After almost giving up and at some point even wanting to quit art, I just bought my own apartment with the money my lawyers recovered so far! Artists: never give up fighting for your rights! You’re worth it!

This iconic photograph of Chavela Vargas and Frida Kahlo, taken in the 1940s, captures a powerful moment between two of Mexico's most influential figures. Chavela, known for her soulful, evocative music, and Frida, the renowned artist whose work transcended the boundaries of cultural expression, shared a deep bond that resonated through their personal and professional lives. This image not only highlights the unique relationship between the two women but reflects the vibrant spirit of the 20th century in Mexico. In the 1940s, both Kahlo and Vargas were forging their own paths, challenging societal norms and creating art that still influences generations today.

The photograph exudes warmth, capturing the essence of a time when creativity, love, and defiance merged. Frida's bold fashion choices, often reflective of her indigenous Mexican heritage, and Chavela's androgynous style are celebrated as symbols of the feminist and movements. Their friendship, which was both personal and artistic, was a defining element of their lives, contributing to the cultural renaissance in Mexico during this period. This moment, preserved in this photograph, is more than just a snapshot of the 1940s—it's a timeless representation of strength, love, and artistic freedom, immortalizing two women who helped shape the cultural landscape of the 20th century.
